Hamilton

Post by I85hokie »

All five dates playing in my town sold out within an hour. Sorry, but I just don’t get the obsession with this play. In fact, I find it troubling how popular it is. Based on what I can tell, it’s a (very) liberal retelling of the story of arguably the most authoritarian of our founding fathers. No wonder the leftists like it.

NYC creates culture. The rest of the country consumes it. Nothing to be bothered about.

It sounds, idiotic. Gershwin must be crapping his old bones at what passes for a musical.
