ARE YOU LISTENING? HAMILTON: THE REVOLUTION: A PREVIEW AND GIVEAWAY

WELCOME TO BOOKIN' WITH BINGO'S" 
ARE YOU LISTENING? DAY" 
I AM EXCITED TO SHARE WITH YOU ABOUT 
THIS RECENT AUDIO BOOK I RECEIVED
*******************************************  
 GIVEAWAY ENDED
HAMILTON:
THE REVOLUTION
BY LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA
and JEREMY McCARTER 
Winner of the 2016
Pulitzer Prize for Drama
Read by Mariska Hargitay
  
ABOUT THE AUDIO BOOK:
Lin-Manuel Miranda's groundbreaking musical Hamilton is as revolutionary as its subject, the poor kid from the Caribbean who fought the British, defended the Constitution, and helped to found the United States. Fusing hip-hop, pop, R&B, and the best traditions of theater, this once-in-a-generation show broadens the sound of Broadway, reveals the storytelling power of rap, and claims our country's origins for a diverse new generation.
 

HAMILTON: THE REVOLUTION gives listeners an unprecedented insight into both revolutions, from the only two writers able to provide it. Miranda, along with Jeremy McCarter, a cultural critic and theater artist who was involved in the project from its earliest stages--"since before this was even a show," according to Miranda--traces its development from an improbable perfor­mance at the White House to its landmark opening night on Broadway six years later. In addition, Emmy and Golden Globe winning actor Mariska Hargitay lends her voice to the audiobook and Miranda reads more than 200 funny, revealing footnotes for his award-winning libretto, the full text of which is included on the PDF with this audiobook.

Their account features photos (also included on the PDF) by the renowned Frank Ockenfels and veteran Broadway photographer, Joan Marcus; exclusive looks at notebooks and emails; interviews with Questlove, Stephen Sond­heim, leading political commentators, and more than 50 people involved with the production; and multiple appearances by Presi­dent Obama himself. The audiobook does more than tell the surprising story of how a Broadway musical became a national phenomenon: It demonstrates that America has always been renewed by the brash upstarts and brilliant outsiders, the men and women who don't throw away their shot.


"Mariska, in addition to being the #1 fan of the show, represents, to me, much of Hamilton is about--tough, smart, and New York. She's an essential part of this city; it feels only right for her to narrate the story." --Lin-Manuel Miranda.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS:
Lin-Manuel Miranda (Book, Music, and Lyrics/Alexander Hamilton) is the Tony and Grammy award-winning composer-lyricist-star of Broadway's In the Heights--winner of four 2008 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Orchestrations, and Best Choreography with Miranda receiving the award for Best Score. Additionally, he is the co-composer and co-lyricist of Broadway's Tony-nominated Bring It On: The Musical and provided Spanish translations for the 2009 Broadway revival of West Side Story. Miranda, along with Tom Kitt, won the 2014 Creative Arts Emmy for Best Original Music and Lyrics for their work on the 67th Annual Tony Awards. In 2015, Miranda was named as a Fellow of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. He lives with his family in New York City.

Jeremy McCarter wrote cultural criticism for New York magazine and Newsweek before spending five years on the artistic staff of the Public Theater, where he created, directed, and produced the Public Forum series. He served on the jury of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and is writing a book about young American radicals during World War One. He lives in Chicago.

The footnotes to the libretto! I listen to the original cast album of Hamilton every day (really!) and it would be so cool to have fuller context and background to these lyrics.

Steve Capell said...

This one is definitely on my radar list! Patricia is definitely right in saying that it would be way cool to have more background to the lyrics. I find this so true about a lot of things ... what made the author create their master piece? Thanks so much for the opportunity.

I wish there was some way I could go to New York and be lucky enough to get tickets somehow to see Hamilton. I know it's sold out for like forever. I can't wait for the Tony's. And, I love Mariska Hargitay. This would be so cool to listen to.
