Haha, no worries about the crying, weβve all been there with our first time watching this play.
If youβre up for more live stage recordings, and if youβre a fan of fairy tales at all, I gotta recommend the stage recording of Into the Woods. Itβs not got the same modern music genre vibe as Hamilton, but thereβs a similarity in the cleverness of the lyrics and the wordplay, and itβs just a fun bit of satire on fairy tales - and itβs got the legendary Bernadette Peters as the witch. :D The recent movie version is good too, but the difference in medium meant that some of the vibe and some of the better jokes were lost in the transfer from stage to film, whereas the recorded stage version preserves those elements.
For more musicals by Lin Manuel Miranda, I gotta recommend the recent film version of In The Heights, itβs freaking fantastic, and itβs got the guy who played John Laurens and Philip Hamilton as the main character (and Iβm still salty that it didnβt get nominated for a single Oscar).

Lin Manuel Miranda wrote everything. He plays Hamilton in this.
