Hamilton's America is ultimately a celebration of drive, ingenuity, creativity -- both on stage and off.

Miranda, as charmingly enthusiastic here as he was hosting NBC's Saturday Night Live this month, is a potent ambassador for a Broadway smash written in the language of rap.

For existing superfans, this is more of an opportunity to revisit the ideas and anecdotes you already love. But for relative newcomers, this is a worthy intro.

Everyone from Hamilton obsessives (who can recite the songs chapter and verse - you know who you are) to those who've never fantasized about spending a fortune on the almost unattainable tickets to the Broadway hit will find plenty to love.

Hamilton's America... smoothly marries the very personal nature of the musical's story with Hamilton's impact on the nation and the world, adopting Miranda's iconoclastic flavor in the process.
