Top Ten Reasons to Like Hamilton

The Top Ten
1 It's unique

If someone can name another hip hop musical this good (OTHER than In The Heights) then sign me right the hell up. Until then, Hamilton remains a stand-out masterpiece of a show. Did I mention that the show is completely sung with no dialogue to pad the runtime? I'm not joking. That explains why it's 47 songs long.

Looms over all other musicals in many different ways. It has a unique sound that I've rarely heard. You go from rock in Yorktown, to country in What'd I Miss, to sad and depressing in It's Quiet Uptown. Great range of very unique songs.
