A beautiful story about family and community. Inspiring, emotional, atmospheric, and unique. I'm seeing too many reviews comparing it to Hamilton which is unfair and weird. It's Lin's music and voice but the shows are vastly different in terms of subject matter, plot, characters,& culture. Don't bother reading it if you're just gonna treat it like a little Lin prequel musical warm up to Hamilton.
