If you have access to Internet, you’ve probably heard of the musical taking America by storm: "Hamilton."

Starting in 1776, the musical follows Alexander Hamilton and his colleagues throughout his career and his short life. "Hamilton" is revolutionizing Broadway one day at a time.

Since the show opened on Broadway in August 2015, tickets have been almost impossible to find at a half-decent price. The shows are sold out all the way through May 2017, and scalpers are selling tickets for $600 and above. The ticket sales and prices are leaving people wondering, "What is all the hype?"

The hype is that lyricist and performer Lin-Manuel Miranda created this concept of a hip-hop musical about Alexander Hamilton back in 2008, and first performed the title track "Alexander Hamilton" in front of a crowd at a poetry slam at the White House. The crowd laughed, but who's laughing now? The cast album that was released in September 2015 has already sold more than 445,000 copies in the U.S. The amazing thing about the music is that it's all hip-hop and rap. What's better than Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson having a rap Cabinet Battle?

One thing many people notice is that 95 percent of the cast are people of color. From African-American to Asian-American, to Puerto Rican, the cast is extremely diverse. This is wonderful on so many levels, because it is a wonderful representation of what America is like today. This country is diverse, and that's what makes it so great.

I was never a straight-A student in school, and I never enjoyed learning. One day, I was on Spotify and decided to give "Hamilton" a listen. After listening to its title track, I have been obsessed. So obsessed to the point that I purchased the 800-page Alexander Hamilton biography written by Ron Chernow that inspired the musical. I praise "Hamilton" for getting me to learn and explore history outside of the classroom. The play helps teachers meet students in the middle by mixing a seemingly boring story with hip-hop and exciting beats to make it more appealing. The entire show is a history lesson mixed with modern day music.

I suggest you see for yourself what all the excitement is. Check out the cast recording for free on Spotify, purchase it on iTunes, or check out their Grammy- and Tony-winning performances on YouTube. See what the hype is about, and I guarantee you'll be a part of it.
