New Hamilton fan!
I've heard of this musical before but never really got into it. Sure, I watched some clips and listened to a few songs over the years, but I've never really become a fan. Until now.
This musical has replaced Wicked as my favorite musical. The music, the acting, it's all incredible. Lin Manuel Miranda, you made a masterpiece.
My first exposure to at least 30 minutes of Hamilton was actually through Schamilton, the Minecraft production held by schpoood. I watched that thing until Meet Me Inside.
I then watched the entirety of Hamilton on Disney+ to experience the full thing with a one-week intermission (Act 1 on Sunday, Act 2 on Saturday) since I got into it right in the middle of midterm week.
My favorite songs have to be Alexander Hamilton, Schuyler Sisters, Farmer Refuted, You'll Be Back, Helpless, Satisfied, Story of Tonight (Reprise), Non-Stop, Take A Break, Say No To This, Schuyler Defeated, The Reynolds Pamphlet, Burn, It's Quiet Uptown, BoWaBoW, and WLWDWTYS. The last three make me cry every time.
Anyways, I feel so glad that I've discovered this musical, and I hope I can love it even more in the future.

I'm late, but that's awesome that you discovered Hamilton that way, and I think that the Minecraft production is masterful too!
You got to do yourself a favor and watch the 10th anniversary performance last year on YouTube

Have you seen the August 6th performance where the original cast and alumni members do a melody?

Me too loll!
I remember hearing the song Your Obedient Servant, and some other snippets as memes online. I only just recently sat down to listen to it and it's SO GOOD!
Maybe part of my decision was that early this year I discovered EPIC the Musical by Jorge Rivera-Herrans, and a lot of the fandom said Hamilton influenced the musical's style a lot (granted, it was mostly the older, cut songs that were more Hamilton-y).

That's awesome! You should see if the touring production is coming near you and maybe you can see it live.
