    I’ve remained blissfully unaware of the actual music in Hamilton until now, but is it seriously about how a cracker slaver wrote a lot? Who gives a fuck?!

      Hamilton’s off-Broadway engagement at The Public Theater was sold out,[6] and when the musical opened on Broadway, it had a multimillion-dollar advance in ticket sales, reportedly taking in $30 million before its official opening.[145]

      By September 2015, the show was sold out for most of its Broadway engagement.[146][147][148][149] It was the second-highest-grossing show on Broadway for the Labor Day week ending September 6, 2015 (behind only The Lion King).[7]

      Hamilton set a Broadway box office record for the most money grossed in a single week in New York City in late November 2016, when it grossed $3.3 million for an eight-performance week, the first show to break $3 million in eight performances.[150]

      It also won a fuck ton of awards. Libs give a big fuck about Hamilton
