:extract_cover():upscale()/2016/11/11/801/n/24155406/66e448df58260a6164a139.63573303_edit_img_cover_file_42692267_1478812984.jpg)
It hasn't taken long for the Hamilton phenomenon to reach beyond the walls of the theater and into the hearts and minds of children of all ages. Maybe it's the mix of rap, hip-hop, jazz, and ballads that make up the show. Maybe it's the excitement of American history being told in a nontraditional way. But whatever the reason, kids are obsessed — they've even created their own hashtag, #hamilkids, and have sent in videos for the show's producers to edit together.
Since you probably won't (and can't!) get the little ones on your list tickets for the show — the New York production is sold out until November 2017 — we've got more than 20 gifts that will play right into their A. Ham obsession!
