An incredibly talentEd Hamilton fan has just unveiled an epic homage to the musical's characters, lyrics and scenes - all with 25,000 dominoes. Watch them topple in the video!

"After over 5 months of on and off work, about 60 hours total, Hamilton in Dominoes is finished. It contains roughly 25,000 dominoes and 27 different clips. This I believe is easily the best video I ever made on my own and I'm super proud of it," the creator wrote.

He added: "Once upon a time, on June 12th (exactly 5 months ago), I watched the 70th annual Tony Awards on the TV. When the performance of Yorktown came on, I knew immediately that I simply HAD to listen to the rest of the Hamilton soundtrack and in no time at all I because obsessed. Within a week of listening to the soundtrack I decided to make a Hamilton themed domino screenlink and make it my biggest and best video yet. I believe I have succeeded with that. My personal favorite part has to be all the portraits of the characters of the show; sometimes I'd find myself staring at them because they looked so cool."

With book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, music direction/orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, Hamilton is based on Ron Chernow's biography of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. The musical won eleven 2016 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Score, Book of a Musical, Direction of a Musical, Choreography and Orchestrations. Mr. Miranda received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for Hamilton.

HAMILTON is the story of America's Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington's right-hand man during the Revolutionary War, and was the new nation's first Treasury Secretary. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B and Broadway, Hamilton is the story of America then, told by America now.
