Be still for a second.

I saw Hamilton last Thursday. Seat 113, two rows down from the very top of the theater. A great spot to see the entire stage, and I'm really glad I stuck to my word and didn't listen to it until I was in the theater, watching it happen. Because it works so well as a musical narrative piece, and it soars as a piece of stagecraft. I didn't cry, though some people around me did.

There were a last few moments of the look people gave me whenever I'd say I hadn't listened to it yet, and one guy giving me an incredible moment of silence when I told him. It'll be a little disappointing to lose that, but only a little, since I can listen to the album now. Maybe once a week. So as not to wear it out.
