    Hamilton’s stage production should be required viewing for every American citizen, but this exhilarating listen is a much more practical, and every bit as enjoyable, stand-in.

    This recording seems a vital one, and time will tell if the musical is a watershed in big-budget musical theater.

It's an amazing mix of hip hop, Broadway, history and verbal jousting that would make Eminem envious. Even after dozens of runs through the soundtrack, I still hear themes that make me go "WOW."
