Caution: Small spoilers ahead. The Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of Hamlet directed by Simon Godwin and starring Kiri’s Paapa Essiedu (who, according to The Telegraph is the first black actor to be cast by the RSC as Hamlet since 1961) is a must-see.

Hamilton took the musical theater world by storm with its hip-hop rendition of history and colonial America. It gave dreamers and visionaries their rightful place in American History while also being highly entertaining.
