b'It\\u2019s taking the culture by storm, the biggest Broadway musical in years\\u2014and it\\u2019s about\\u2026 the first U.S. secretary of the treasury, Alexander Hamilton? It seems unlikely, but nothing about the \\u201cHamilton\\u201d story is likely. Lin-Manuel Miranda took the biography of a lesser-known early American figure and turned it into a story full of catchy songs and social commentary, including the rapid-fire hip-hop lyrics and the casting of non-white actors in most of the parts. Four of our \\u201cHamilton\\u201d-mad panelists discuss the appeal of the show and why it works so incredibly well. (This we\\u2019ve also launched an entire podcast devoted to \\u201cHamilton\\u201d, so if you want to hear various panels discuss the show song by song, you may want to subscribe to that, too.) Piano intro and outro music from Hamilton played by Christopher Breen.'
