Hamilton Thread, i'm going to see it in Chicago when it comes. Anyone else have thoughts? I think it's amazing.
my sjw ex can't shut up about the damn musical but her taste a shit
I've heard the soundtrack and I think it's pretty good, but everyone keeps talking about it so much that it's starting to seriously get on my nerves.
It's basically the Frozen of musicals.
I don't think it should tour. When Lin-Manuel doesn't want to do it anymore the whole operation should shut down
Lyrically, Miranda comes off as a 40 year old white history teacher who's trying to reach his classroom full of urban black kids. Didn't listen to the last half, though..

If it were a WASP making this horrid shit instead of a puerto rican, he'd be dragged, and rightfully so

Hamilton was white
Someone in another thread hit the nail on the head: it repackages the same toxic 'American Dream' narrative for liberals.
To the anon who shared the cast recording and the show a few months ago: Thanks. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
hamilton is as good as people say it is. the songwriting is brilliant. lots of depth and simultaneously lots of catchiness. it's really hard to stop listening to. the wordplay is generally good and storytelling is fantastic. using the songs to advance the story isn't a breakthrough but the fact that not all musicals do this is insane, it's the only way to make it work imo. finally the cast is nearly perfect. i can't imagine such an ambitious production working without such a talented group of performers.
overall i think it's truly a masterpiece of modern theater although the scope isn't really very grand. it's just the story of one intrepid man who had a very eventful life. the concept is good but it's the execution where it shines.
i often wonder if alex lacamoire doesn't deserve more attention than he gets. he is listed as the composer and orchestrator for the production but his name comes up infrequently despite him being pretty visible in the white house debut of the title track.
