I don’t have the hateboner for Hamilton that a lot of this site has, but this is fucking horrendous. It fully justifies bullying theater kids. Schools should stop having music programs.
why don’t you have the hateboner for hamilton that a lot of this site has? i don’t get it.
The music is more varied. For as stupid an understanding as he has of the historical figures, he has an interpretation of them that he sticks to and builds them as characters. Completely ahistorical characters, but characters nonetheless. It feels more like someone who knows how to make a musical but doesn’t remotely understand the material while this movie felt like it was someone who knew neither.
Not op but I feel that although it is a bit ick with it’s friendly portrayal of slavers at least it has done a lot of good for the various cast members both original and touring, overall it will have given a chance to a lot of black performers in a very white dominated industry. I guess my overall thoughts on it are is its not really going to make anyone feel more positive about these characters, libs and chuds already love them, but it at least does some actual material good for those performing in it.
Hamilton is LMM firing a handgun into the skull of hip hop and taking whatever lines and beats he can from the pink matter to make Rap for Whites
I saw a tweet a while ago that was something like “Broadway figured out theater kids were the only ones that still watched theater so they gave up and started to cater to only them”
I mean this is just what a high school theater kid would write. Almost every song sounds the same and the characterization is razer thin. Every twenty minutes theres a liberal pandering line too.
It’s really depressing how bad most of the shows I watch are and how little I can actually express that to people’s faces
