[CJ] Is Hamilton Next?

Watch Hamilton next time with the subtitles on and you'll quickly realize how much Lin Manuel tried to cram into this show from a historical perspective. He admits he couldn't get it all, and I never really saw the show as a glorification of the founding fathers. There's alot of tongue in cheek about the show too. One of the opening lines in his intro song is kind of a dig at the "pull up your bootstraps" mentality of Americans.

I think my biggest criticism of Hamilton is that it's not very deeply personal in many ways. His relationships both romantic and friendship wise are not hugely compelling even though the characters of the Schyler sisters are a highlight of the show in many ways. If you want to see a more personal story by Lin Manuel go watch In the Heights which feels like a story that has more of a heart to it. Hamilton is still incredible, and a very fun watch. Almost every Broadway show has parts in the middle and towards the end where the audience can drift a bit. The great thing about this show is Lin Manuel's touch with modern music to pull a show back into interest musically at the very least in those parts of a show where it would normally drift off.

Overall the folks wanting to get attention by "Cancel Culturing" Hamilton will have a tough time breaking through on this one.

 

So you created a whole thread because some virtue signaler created a hashtag.

 

?

Are you drunk posting today.

 

You of all people judging the creation of a thread?

Really dude?

What was your issue with that thread?

I thought those celebrities needed to be called out and was glad O'Dowd said it.

 

Nope

Drops mic, lick tears

 

I appreciate the inconsistencies with how we grew up to worship the FF and how they're approached in the current environment.

I think it's a waste of energy and a grasp for digital power that's becoming more corrosive than beneficial.

It's a musical ffs.

 

Strange Threads, too.

 

What the hell does that have to do with anything?

So just because somebody is writing clickbait articles and searching for some liberal cred that means something to you.

Who is complaining about Hamilton casting?

 

I have read most of them and they all seem to complaining about exalting the white fore fathers.

So now the issue is with casting?

You are all over the place, starving for attention.

 

How is that the most reputable?

Why is she reputable?

She is a academic who has her own opinion and is not immune from posting stuff to get cred.

Which is my point and if you are complaining about casting nobody should take you seriously.

Her follow up really makes no sense, her whole issue seems to be that she was attacked on twitter.

What exactly is your point on this?
