I know musicals don't get talked about often here, but what is /mu/s opinion on pic related?
Personally, I think it's fantastic. Its almost 100% historically accurate, and the inaccuracies Lin-Manuel Miranda recognizes and omitted minor details to make the story better. The music is awesome. Best musical I've ever heard, unfortunately I'm poorfag so I can't see it on broadway. Is there any reason to not like it?
musicals have some musical value just not often
I got into it just because Daveed Diggs is in clipping

Have you listened to hamilton? The music is amazing. I agree that most musicals are very dull and unoriginal, basically you can ignore every musical made before the 2000s and you wouldn't miss much. But Hamilton is different.
It's extremely popular so /mu/ will insist that its objectively terrible until their mom announces that the pizza rolls are ready.

yeah you might be right man, I nearly listened to it but didn't bother. Definitely some Sondheim is great for example

poptimists get out

Yeah, I really wish that mu wasn't so obsessively contrarian about popular things. Sometimes music gets popular because it's good
The Room Where It Happens is GOAT
this shit makes me want to die
>>63147201
it is objectively terrible though
It's great.
Contrarians will be contrarians, but fanboys will be fanboys.
As it stands, this is the most overrated musical of all time, second only to Wicked or Phantom. That doesn't mean it's not really good, it just means that I literally never hear the fucking end of it at school (I'm an acting/CS double major at Tisch, so the combination of being surrounded by theater kids and being in New York forces me to hear about that show every day).
That being said, it's certainly a massive step up from In the Heights, his previous show. Some of the flow of some of the songs seems to blend together at times, but there's also a good amount of standout tracks.
Also, you will never get tickets unless you literally win the lottery (held every day, as with most shows). It's sold out for at least a year.

I don't know much about musicals
but as a rap fan the 1 song I head in public made me cringe extremely hard
