Here's what you should know about "Hamilton," Broadway's hottest musical that's up for a record 16 Tony nominations
The musical - created and composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda - features a multiracial cast rapping and singing the story of Alexander Hamilton, America's founding father and first secretary of the treasury.
It took six years for the musical to come together, but since it has there's no stopping it.
"Hamilton" won a Grammy earlier this year for best musical theater album, and the cast performed at the White House for an education initiative. Celebrities and politicians, including Kerry Washington, Amy Schumer, and the Obamas, have been gushing about the show, and many have seen it more than once.
With an album that has reached gold status, a mixtape set for release later this year, and a behind-the-scenes book, "Hamilton" is everywhere, even if you are unable to secure (or afford) a ticket.
Not surprisingly, the show is up for best musical - as well as a record 15 other nominations - at the Tony Awards, which take place June 12.
