And there’s a million things I haven’t done
But just you wait, just you wait"
– Hamilton: An American Musical
Join 2,500 Boston Public Schools students and the cast of the Broadway musical Hamilton for an innovative educational program at the Boston Opera House.

Learning
is
not
attained
by
chance;
it
must
be
sought
for
with
Aurra
and
attended
to
with
diligence.
Yeah
I
said
that
I
won't
understand
to
be
simply
seen
as
John
Adams.
His
wife
I
am
Abigail
Smith
Adams,
not
his
trophy,
not
his
pretty
little
dog
who
was
tipped
and
smile
and
agree,
simple
I
am
one
of
the
main
reasons
that
man
got
as
far
as
him.
Abigail
give
me
some
advice:
Abigail.
What
should
I
do?
I
a
woman
entered
his?
D
Did
anybody?
Listen
you
want
hero
statesman
philosopher.
Well,
here's
a
bit
of
advice.
We
need
some
learning
women
if
you
think
women
are
done,
try
keeping
that
opinion
after
having
men
in
the
audience.
Any
of
my
conversations
you
will
see
that
women
can
be
just
as
intellectual.
You
think
that
John
was
your
president,
that
he
acted
and
made
decisions
alone.
Think
again
a
woman
helped
to
lead
you
and
made
many
decisions
for
the
man.
You
call
Julia
when,
given
the
opportunity,
women
kind
can
Adam
women
kind
can
take
over
and
rule
without
men.
D
D
E
Yeah,
you
know
I
gotta,
keep
it
real
every
time
they
see
me
they
instead
still
it's
me.
The
man
will
set
you
free,
the
competitor,
the
Revolutionary
Army,
the
British
are
getting
stitches
and
I
said
now:
I'm
gonna
stick
up
every
sister.
Those
are
my
break.
Homes
came
on
the
boat,
commenting
on
electoral
votes.

I'm
part
of
the
revolution,
not
the
execution,
I'm
Richard.
L
On
a
cold
day
in
December
of
73,
there
was
an
urgent
matter,
a
matter
with
teeth.
We
had
thrown
it
from
ships
into
the
harbor
of
Boston.
We,
the
Patriot.
We
did
it
with
caution
for
this
unfairly,
shall
not
just
pass
the
tax
on
the
tea.
So,
if
not
going
to
laugh
and
with
this
tea,
we
shall
take
down
the
beef.
So
here,
my
fellow
citizen,
let
me
keep
this
brief.
The
tax
on
the
tea
was
adding
to
the
beef
we,
the
Patriots,
will
take
down
our
English
tube.
M
Caribbean,
home
of
Santa
and
slaves
working
day
and
day
just
to
be
sent
away,
trading,
sugarcane
and
rum
to
the
Americas
who
gave
back
to
back
on
cotton.
It
seems
so
brought
you.
Human
beings
are
being
traded
for
cotton.
Seventeen,
hundreds
start
of
all
that
has
been
forgotten,
trying
them
a
trade
every
day,
people
think
things
being
sent
away.
D
P
N
O
N
O
P
N
N
To
be
my
opponent,
prior
friend,
I
had
two
men
having
to
have
my
first
meal
of
the
day,
thinking
how
to
escape
how
to
get
away
then
straight
to
Georgia
for
sanctuary
and
as
the
great
hood
start
to
bury
I
read
the
New,
York
Post,
bold
and
clear
general
Hamilton
is
dead,
is
all
I
hear
and
soon
I
must
realize.
The
end
is
near
farewell
of
my
political
career.
A
Q
Breathless
13
colonies,
painless
needless
violet
or
T,
who
the
faceless
top
priority
must
sign
here.
For
me,
Rena
party
duck
st.
can't
cope
right
on
the
bed
broke.
Dropping
you
crafting
words
like
the
hopeful
man
at
the
picture,
bring
on
the
rapture
members
of
my
nation
paint
on
a
steep
slope,
better,
a
suggestion,
not
the
Squeakquel
brie
that
took
me
illegal
me
in
the
country,
via
the
people.
We
did
not
matter
I
created.
Q
J
I
L
B
A
T
U
It's
a
dream,
come
true
for
me,
something
I
had
dreamed
about,
and
it's
one
of
the
one
of
the
most
important
and
popular
shows
right
now,
so
I
think
with
that
being
a
part
of
it
show
that
so
many
people
have
seen
or
heard
about
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
responsibility
to
it.
When
we
go
out
to
restaurants
or
visiting
a
city,
and
people
know
that
we're
in
the
cast
of
Hamilton
I
think
we
have
to
hold
ourselves
to
a
certain
standard,
be
kind,
be
loving.
U
W
T
Humble
add
into
what
these
two
beautiful
humans
have
said:
I
think
that
the
other
beautiful
thing
about
Hamilton
is
it
reaches
out
to
people
that
may
not
have
previously
been
into
musical
theater
I
for
one
have
never
played
a
Broadway
show
before
Hamilton
and
when
I
got
the
call
to
come
and
do
this
gig,
it
was
like
opening
my
mind
up
to
a
whole
new
world.
My
preconceived
notions
were
about
how
Broadway
shows
a
run.
This
is
a
whole
different,
dancer
game-changer.
Indeed,.
B
A
B
I'll
speak
to
this
ever
since
Hamilton,
the
the
the
perspective
of
people
behind
the
table,
like
producers
and
directors
and
choreographers
in
Hamilton,
something
like
Hamilton
has
definitely
opened
their
eyes.
So
the
stereotypes
and
the
typecasting
at
least
on
the
theater
side,
are
starting
to
be
expanded
very
much
so
because
of
this
show,
which
is
very.
B
X
L
X
B
V
So
I
have
my
routine
where
I
like
to
get
here
two
hours
earlier
before
the
show
starts,
which
is
a
lot
of
time.
I,
you
know.
Do
my
hair
and
makeup
and
I
have
to
warm
up
my
body
any
voice,
but
mainly
my
body
and
when
I
don't
I
feel
the
next
day,
but
that
just
means
the
some
time
in
the
studio
some
little
meditation
a
little
bit
of
yoga
and
yesterday
I
did
something
crazy.
U
I'll
say
on
to
that
being
in
the
ensemble
most
nights
when
I'm
not
on
four,
it's
Tyler
sister
as
you'll,
see
in
the
show
today,
a
lot
of
us
are
on
stage
just
watching
the
story
being
a
part
of
telling
the
story
through
our
eyes,
so
in
getting
into
character.
It's
something
that
I
think
about
is
and
sometimes
I
think
that
I'm
like
an
angel
like
a
guardian
angel
on
stage
because
I'm
just
standing
there
watching.
But
there
are
no
small
roles.
I
think
Hamilton
is
an
ensemble
show
so
to
get
into
character.
U
It's
my
job
to
help
the
audience
see
the
story
through
my
eyes,
so
I
need
to
be
focused.
I
need
to
be
present
on
stage
get
into
the
character
of
I,
just
believe,
I'm,
an
angel
on
stage
watching
the
action,
a
storyteller,
so
I
try
to
stay
focused
at
present
to
get
into
character.
To
tell
this
story
every
night.
B
Yeah,
as
you
get
older
kids,
your
body
is
like
you
can't
just
like
wake
up
and
go
like
I
used
to
in
high
school,
so
definitely
a
physical,
warm
up
and
definitely
a
vocal
warmup
and
then
some
place
to
try
to
find
them
like
a
quiet
place
to
quiet
your
mind
before
to
badness
ensues,
because
what
you'll
see
is
once
this
show
starts,
it
doesn't
stop
and
we're
in
these
little
pilgrim
shoes
the
whole
time
the
buckles
on.
Oh,
that
you
know
it's
not
exactly
like
wearing
Jordans
there
at
the
show.
B
T
But
getting
to
go
to
different
parts
of
the
country
where
you
know,
politically
speaking,
there
are
so
many
different
viewpoints
that
this
show
is
very
intentional
about
what
it
stands
for
and
I
think
it's
amazing
to
go
to
these
different
areas
where
people
see
things
differently
and
seeing
them
all
kind
of
see.
The
show
and
I
mean
there
are
a
couple
of
people
that
don't
really
get
with
it,
but
for
the
most
part
it
unites
people.
It's
really
cool
to
see
that
people
from
all
different
backgrounds.
A
B
U
U
Political
climate
right
now,
but
I
was
just
saying
that
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
comparisons
and
parallels
between
what
Hamilton
was
doing
for
our
country
and
what
a
lot
of
people
are
trying
to
do
for
our
country.
I
think
it
starts
with
one
small
thought.
Then
it
turns
into
action
and
I.
Think
Hamilton
started
to
make
a
difference
and
start
to
be
that
one
change,
and
sometimes
it
pays
off
to
to
be
the
change
to
be
different
to
go
along
the
path,
less
traveled
and
I.
U
W
W
R
V
Are
certain
details
that
we
have
to
keep
like
when
is
being
taught
to
show?
We
have
to
do
what
we're
told,
but
there
is
a
fine
line
where
we
can
add
our
style
and
our
character
into
it.
There's
some
freestyle
throughout
the
show
that
you
can
play
upon,
but
there's
also
some
flying
things
where
our
arm
has
to
be
a
90
degree.
You
can
heart,
they
can't
go
up
up
we're
serving
about
a
certain
height.
So
it's
a
fine
line.
V
X
And
when
I
started
doing
the
show
I
can
play
more
there's
more
people,
cuz
I,
learn
with
a
smaller
group
of
people,
and
so
when
you
get
them
to
the
larger
feel
like
I.
Have
all
these
different
energies
I
can
bounce
off
and
play
with,
and
you
try
something
and
you're
like
yeah.
They
totally
work
and
then
you'll
try
another
thing:
you're
like
oh,
not
the
right
choice,
okay,
but
it's
always
a
learning.
It's
very,
very
fun!
That's
what
makes
the
show
so
fun.
It's
putting.
K
Y
T
After
all
that
musically
speaking
Alex
Lachlan
was
our
arrangement
orchestrated
is
like
this.
Guy
has
like
a
bionic
ear.
You
can
hear
everything.
Everything
we
play
is
pretty
much
written
out.
However,
there
is
I
had
a
conversation
with
him
where
he's
like
I
just
need
the
1%
there's
the
1%,
that
you
have
to
kind
of
do
your
thing,
but
it's
a
flexible
1%
and
you
just
you
know
you
need
to
use
your
better
judgement.
The
respect
and
respect
flow
was
written.
It
was
beautifully
branded.
T
B
Y
B
Individual
and
in
this
show
they
carved,
they
encouraged
our
individuality,
because
we
come
from
a
country
of
individuals,
and
that
is
the
best
way
to
tell
the
story
in
the
most
honest
way,
to
tell
the
story.
Next
question
from
Edward
F
Kennedy
Academy
for
help
abused,
never
would
have
gotten
into
that
school.
B
W
V
I
mean
I've.
Never
this
is
my
first
edge
ahem,
so
I
would
perform
the
show
in
front
of
students
but
I,
remember
being
a
student
and
I
didn't
see
the
show
as
a
student,
but
seeing
other
shows
and
I
just
remember
being
itch
when
you
moved
and
being
like
the
little
girl
they're
like
oh,
my
god,
I
can't
do
that.
Like
that
girl
looks
like
me
I
can
this
dream
can
actually
come
true,
so
just
take
it
like.
T
I've
been
with
the
company
since
January
and
I've
played
all
the
hedging
ever
since
then,
but
I
have
no.
This
is
my
first
time
double
panel,
but
I
will
say
that
I
looked
at
it.
As
you
know,
every
game
is
game,
something
you
got
to
come
with
it
every
day,
but
when
we
do
the
shows
the
education
shows
that
you
know
you
guys
just
give
a
different
energy.
You
know,
and
it's
like
it's
inspiring
in
a
different
way.
B
Y
B
What
kind
of
research
went
into
developing
your
character,
as
you
were
preparing
for
the
show
great
question
speaking
well,
a
lot
of
my
knowledge
for
the
show
came
as
as
lin-manuel
Miranda
was
writing.
It
I
was
lucky
lucky
enough
to
be
a
part
of
the
team
of
actors
that
he
would
call
into
the
room
to
develop
it
to
hear
it
out
loud
as
they
were,
writing
it.
So
a
lot
of
the
information
I
think
the
first
read-through
of
the
whole
show
that
we
did
was
like
four
hours
and
15
minutes.
B
To
to
be
angry
for
that
long
to
be
angry
for
months
and
months
and
months
to
in
order
to
meet
somewhere
to
to
duel
it
out
that
that
was
really
surprising
to
me,
but
then
also
in
terms
of
berenberg
I
was
very
much
interested
in
his
early
life
and
about
what
his
parents
did,
what
his
grandparents
did
and
how
old
he
was
when
he
lost
everybody
and
how
many
people
keep
lost
in
his
life.
How
many
people
died
in
his
life?
B
U
U
Wouldn't
stop
singing
and
dancing
or
anything
so
I
went
to
college
for
musical
theater
when
someone
told
me
that
I
could
make
a
career
out
of
this.
I
was
still
kind
of
like
really
I'm
just
doing
this
for
fun,
but
I
graduated
with
a
BFA
in
musical
theater.
U
And
then
I
moved
to
New,
York
and
I've
been
really
really
blessed
to
have
my
book
dogs
and
kept
working
hard
to
train
it
I
think
what
really
helped
me
get
to
where
I
am
now.
It
is
when
I
switch
that
little
thing
in
my
brain
to
believe
in
myself,
if
you're
putting
a
lot
of
validation
and
letting
everyone
get
to
you
and
putting
I
think
your
value
in
the
wrong
place
in
your
head,
I,
don't
think
you
can
make
your
dreams
come
true,
I
think
what
really
changed
things
for
me.
U
T
Both
sides,
a
lot
of
musicians
that
went
right
here
to
Berklee
College
of
Music
in
Boston,
and
the
most
important
piece
of
advice
I
could
give
to
any
other
musicians.
Instrumentalists
out
there
anywhere
in
here
like
this.
Okay,
we've
got
a
couple,
so
I
would
advise
you
guys
to
just
make
sure
you
learn
as
much
as
I
don't
get
too
caught
up
in
your
thing.
Right
I
grew
up
I'm
only
going
to
play
one
beat
for
a
long
time.
I
grew
up
with
a
bunch
of
Caribbean
people.
I
could
play
reggae.
T
You
know
you
know,
as
I
started
growing
and
insert
you
know
what
I
mean
and
that's
that's
its
own,
but
I
wanted
to
branch
out
and
I'm
fortunate
to
have
had
like
good.
You
know
people
sowing
into
me
around
me
encouraging
me
to
learn
as
much
as
I
could
learn
how
to
read
like
really
learn
how
to
read
music,
because
US
church
musicians
grew
up
like
that.
You
know
we
didn't
have
to
learn
it.
You
just
did
everything
by
ear,
but
I
wouldn't
be
sitting
up
here
in
front
of
you
guys
today.
T
V
Started
dancing
when
I
was
three.
My
mom
just
threw
me
in
dance
school
and
at
first
I,
don't
wanna
dance
I
would
just
sit
there
like
a
stubborn
little
girl
and
watch
it
burn
up
then,
and
then
I
decided
one
day
that
just
to
get
up
but
I
didn't
know
much
about
musical
theater
until
college,
so
I
went
to
college
and
high
school
for
contemporary
dance,
but
that
side
of
dance
and
musical
theater
is
extremely
different
and
I
didn't
know
that
this
was
possible.
Y
V
Concert
dance
and
musical
theater
was
like
girl.
You
could
do
it
like
it's
possible
now.
I
was
like
no
I
can't
do
that,
like
I
can't
sing
I
can't
like
that's,
not
okay,
like
I
can't
do
this
and
then
it
wasn't
at
all.
I
saw
her
in
the
shellcodes
after
midnight
on
Broadway
and
I
was
like.
Oh,
my
god,
like
I,
can
do
that
like
this,
this
could
be
a
Elaine
that
I
came
over
to
and
I
graduated
college
and
did
a
cruise
ship
of
the
show
after
the
night.
B
This
is
a
great
question:
how
do
you
manage
having
a
life
on
the
road
outside
of
the
show?
Well,
I
mean
I,
think
I'll
start.
The
easiest
way
to
have
a
life
outside
of
the
show
is
that
we
could
take
every
couple
months.
Every
couple
weeks
we
get
to
explore
new
city,
we
get
to
research
it
and
find
the
best
places
to
eat
fine.
B
W
Just
going
to
add
to
what
you
just
said
about
going
to
different
cities
and
exploring
especially
the
historical
landmarks,
we've
been
fortunate
enough
to
be
in
cities
that
align
indirectly
with
American
history
and
when
you're
walking
down
the
street
oftentimes
when
you're
doing
a
touring
show
you
don't
get
that
stimuli
connected
to
the
show,
while
you're
in
different
cities.
But
we
just
come
from
a
city,
Washington,
DC
and
now
we're
here,
and
we
can
walk
down
the
street
and
see
things
that
are
in
our
show,
which
I
think
is.
X
Have
been
fine,
this
is
my
first
tour.
I
have
been
finding
it
a
little
difficult
at
times
to
make
sure
that
I
am
doing
things
outside
of
just
this
show.
I
mean
I
have
never
wanted
to
do
anything
else,
except
look
before
dance
and
sing.
That's
all
I've
ever
wanted
to
do
so
now
that
I
had
that
I
also
have
to
remind
myself
and
there's
a
world
out
there.
Besides,
just
this
I
have
a
family.
I
have
pairings
I,
have
good
friends.
X
I
also
have
a
cat
that
I've
rented
to
roomie,
and
it
I
think
he
really
helps
me
to
and
carry
down
and
remember
that
there's
something
outside
of
just
this
and
someone
else
that
I
need
to
take
care
of,
and
look
after
and
think
about.
Rather
than
just
myself
to
be
honest,
and
then
it
also
forces
me
to
be
like.
Oh
yeah,
I
have
friends
back
at
home.
There
were
in
my
position
before
I
got
this
that
are
still
doing
the
hustle
that
are
working.
X
Multiple
jobs
and
I
want
to
keep
up
with
them,
making
sure
that
they're,
okay,
I
have
a
parent,
mom
and
dad
I
have
a
brother
that
I
still
need
to
keep
in
contact
with,
and
doing
that.
It
keeps
me
level
that
keeps
me
humbled.
It
helps
me
realize
that
there
is
other
things
out
there.
Besides,
just
this
perfect
world
that
I
am
living
in
for
three
every
single
night
I.
V
Think
also
like
calling
home
English
for
me
like
it.
What
works
I,
make
it
like
my
duty
to
talk
to
my
grandfather
twice
out
of
the
week
because,
like
my
heart-
and
we
can
get
wrapped
up
in
this
like
schedule
and
we're
too
busy
but
like
checking
in
with
home
and
like
calling
the
people
that
you
love,
there's
one
thing
that
I
do
and
also
journaling,
I
love,
journaling
and
listening
to
podcast.
V
V
W
Well,
I
was
all
start
something
real,
quick.
It's
when
you're
sitting
in
class
reading
a
textbook,
it's
hard
to
realize
that
the
people
learning
about
our
real
people
that
sounds
kind
of
counter
to
it,
but
being
in
the
show
seeing
how
moments
in
history
can
happen.
With
this
snap
of
your
fingers,
you
realize
these
are
just
people
making
decisions
trying
to
better
themselves
and
to
better
the
country
they
wanted
to
create.
They
are
people
just
like
you
and
I,
and
that's
been
something
I've
realized
since
doing
the
show.
W
U
It's
a
great
reminder
that
in
every
action
that
we
take
or
any
story
that
you
tell
or
that
you
read
about,
there
are
so
many
different
perspectives.
There's
always
going
to
be
more
than
one
point
of
view
right.
So
sometimes
we
read
one
version
of
the
story
and
there's
someone
else's
version
of
the
story.
So
it's
kind
of
reminding
me
and
opened
my
eyes
to
the
different
perspective
people
can
have
and
on
the
story
they
tell
and
oftentimes
don't
have
control
over
who
dies.
Who
tells
your
story?
B
Yeah
I
think
maybe
I
wrote
that
way.
I'll
take
credit
for
that
right.
That's
from
the
Nick
Christopher
high
school.
No,
definitely
one
obstacle
that
I've
had
to
to
get
through
its
dyslexia
and
I
thought
being
an
actor
was
just
you
know,
you
wear
a
costume
when
you
parade
around
on
a
stage
you
just
have
fun.
I
didn't
realize
how
much
how
many
scripts
that
would
be
reading
a
week,
how
much
of
research
I'd
have
to
do.
B
I'm
like
a
professional
home
worker
now
and
I
hated
doing
homework,
because
it
always
would
take
me
twice
as
long
to
do
it,
and
so
it
still
takes
me
twice
as
long
to
be
scripts.
It
still
takes
me
twice
as
long
to
get
through
that
raunch
and
output,
which
is
a
great
book,
but
it's
extremely
hard
to
get
to
where
you
know.
You
see
letters
move
around
the
page,
so
that,
for
me,
definitely
has
been
one
of
my
greatest
obstacles
to
overcome
to
be
here.
T
To
add
on
to
that,
I
think
that,
as
as
creative
people,
when
you
decide
that
you
want
to
do
this
for
a
living
to
be
honest,
it's
a
little
bit
insane
we're
all
a
little
crazy,
but
it's
like.
If,
because
it's
like
you
know,
I'm,
not
gonna,
go
after
a
career
that
just
guarantees
me
it's
not
always
guaranteed.
T
You
know
that
you're
gonna
have
a
job
like
sometimes
you
know,
you're
in
between
work
like
coming
up
as
musician
I'm
like
this
is
what
I
want
to
do
for
the
rest
of
my
life
and
you
have
to
kind
of
get
through
the
valleys
of
like
you
know.
When
is
my
brain
gonna
come
you
know
what
am
I
going
to
get
that
job
or
that
gig,
like
you
know,
propels
my
career
forward,
and
you
know
trying
to
find
things
that
ground
you
so
that
you
never
give
that
up.
T
U
You
shared
this
but
I
think
the
greatest
obstacle
to
making
my
dreams
come
true,
which
this
is
one
of
my
biggest
dreams
was
the
self-doubt
I
think
we
all
have
insecurities,
and
we
all
can
work
on
our
confidence
and
one
side,
like
I
said,
started
to
believe
in
myself
and
trust
my
power
and
trust
my
ability
to
make
my
dreams
come
true,
I
promise,
you
guys
that's
when
everything
changed,
it
doesn't
happen
outside
of
you.
It
happens
inside
of
you,
you
have
to
believe
in
yourself.
