rest of us outsiders are viewing it. What I have always heard about Columbia usually had to do with stories of cocaine and mountainous warfare – due to cocaine.

A strange man dawning a plain white‚ expressionless mask and a KFC bucket with a bumper sticker labeled “FUNERAL” in big black bold letters.

first‚ the idea of a hip-hop Broadway musical about a Founding Father may strike certain people as silly and absurd‚ but when “Hamilton: An American Musical” debuted in 2015‚ it became an overnight hit. This show about Alexander Hamilton’s life has not only changed the way I see American history‚ but also has surprisingly influenced me as a writer. “Hamilton” is a rare production to hit Broadway.
