What does /pol/ think of this?
WE
>>76812141
Musicals are for faggots
WUZ
What is it?
Musical theater will be discussed as pre and post Hamilton
>>76812504
Basically a musical that tells the story of Alexander Hamilton but it also portrays George Washington as black
>>76812534
Bullshit really?
>>76812504
Its educated black people trying to get average niggers interested in the history of our country and the men who formed it.
Sad thing is it seems only whites are paying attention.
KAAAANNNNNGGGGGSSS
>>76812745
The funny thing is tickets are like thousands of dollars nigs cant afford that shit.
Literally Epic Rap Battles of History: The Musical
One of the most overrated pieces of art in an medium ever
>>76812141
For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEHKBckBcr4
>>76813031
the lyrics though.
>>76812141
I saw it in September not knowing what to expect. It was good. Some of the music was really good and I guess it was historically accurate (besides the spook and spic actors obviously). I don't know why it's called the greatest thing ever though it's just a bit different
>>76813211
Why are there spook and spic actors though? I know the guy who plays Hamilton wrote the show, but why do it like that?
WE WUZ MEN WHO REJECTED THE VERY CONCEPT OF KANGZ
>>76813269
Its supposed to be a representation of how modern america looks.
>>76813346
>no white people in modern america
>>76813269
I'm sure it was mostly for muh diversity and shit but I think also they had to find people who could rap–yes there was a lot of rapping–and nigs are more natural rappers I guess
>>76813472
Saw it to great show in my opinion paid a lot of respect to classics of Broadway and rap.
>>76812141
The cabinet meetings are rap battles where they literally quote Grandmaster Flash and Biggie Smalls. Pretty cool I guess.
>>76812141
I want to see the show, but I hate that cunt Hamilton with such a righteous fury that I can't separate my feelings of the man and the musical.
That cunt wanted to make the United Kingdom of Hamilton and his plans ultimately worked. The continuous expansion of the power of the executive and the reach of the government can all be traced back to that piece of shit. Adding a bunch of jiving niggers and puerto ricans to the mix doesn't make things any easier.
If Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson was better lyrically, I'd go find a theater putting it on, but I only ever liked the first act finale of the show. Thank God the man that did his damnedest to shit on Hamilton's ideas, killed the bank, and pushed out those shit indians got the theatre treatment as well.
>>76813825
Brah Hamilton was right though you think we would be where we are at with out a strong central government? We tried it with the articles of confederation and shit was messy.
I actually think it's great. Despite that racial radicalization of the show by LMM, the music itself is good.
>>76813956
This is pretty dope, really. I'll probably see the show when it comes near me.

Got to just hear some of it, I thought it would be a hip-hop album so i brought it to play on a road trip.
We ended up turning it off, it was kinda too musical-y if that makes sense.
After all it IS a Broadway play.
I'd like to see it live, to really form an opinion.
>>76814067
Yeah, it's coming to Atlanta in a year or so. I think they will be substituting some cast members though. I def. recommend listening to the whole thing through if you have time.
>>76813825
Not that I expect anyone to believe me, but direct descendent of Aaron Burr here, Hamilton died like a bitch
>>76814188
I hang out in a theater so all my friends sing the songs. I've probably listened to a third or fourth of it. I don't really want to keep going because I'd like the show itself to have as strong an impact as possible when I see it. I don't want to hear all the songs first. Although I have liked everything I've heard so far so I might change my mind eventually.
>>76814209
Burr was an ass though.
>>76813930
Nigger, I'm talking about the abuse of power by utilizing ambiguity within Constitution to suit whatever aims he had. It was that cunt that started us using the Commerce Clause as the primary means of getting shitty legislation started.
Fuck him. Fuck Hamilton. Aaron Burr is our greatest unsung hero. I want a monument of Burr shooting Hamilton in the gut with the hair triggered pistols that ol' Alex forgot to shoot straight with when it mattered most while high fiving Andrew Jackson.
>>76813387
it sure is going to become like that soon enough :^)
>>76812141
I HATE the creator and all his musicals
Bring it on, in the heights, Hamilton
All trash
Bought the cd the other day, love it. Catchy songs, good story, has educated actors, wish I could go see it in person. ^^
>>76812141
fake and gay

There are better usa history musicals

The picture should be the other way around tbqh.

>>76813673
>Paid a lot of respect to the classics
Not really it's the same pop style that is completely taking over Broadway
>>76813387
they're in the audience, dumb fuck.
>>76814845
Nah the show referenced Gilbert and Sullivan and did it well.
>>76814951
In what fucking ways?
Name them
Holy shit that is Alvie from House
>>76814986
The entire im a modern major general was taken directly The Pirates of Penzance

Honestly if you like this shit and you're on /pol/ you're part of the problem
Theatre is the most pozzed medium out there and is in need of a purge behind Hollywood and Washington DC
>>76815153
Okay
But how does this not make the musical the same pop shit that's taking over Broadway?
Are you saying it's not pop shit because of its reference?
>>76814986
the line "I’m with you but the situation is fraught/ You’ve got to be carefully taugh" Is from South Pacific.
>>76815284
What im saying is that it is advancing the artform forward while at the same time paying respects to Broadway in general.
>>76815300
Yes but how does it make it not pop shit?
I've listened to the music
It's trash
>>76815363
>It's advancing the art form
Yeah and postmodern art advanced the art world
>>76815459
So why are you so hostile to it?
>>76815579
Because I hate Broadway
I hate every single actor, director, writer, producer, lyricist, musical accompaniment, etc. on Broadway
I hate theatre
I hate the direction it's taken
I hate all the works that have come out in the past decade
I hate it all and I hate when I'm reminded that /pol/ is full of fucking trash and that I should just leave this place
>>76815785
What was good theater in your opinion then?
