|
Date: July 7th, 2020 2:42 AM Author: the walter white of this generation (walt jr.) It's catchy, and by Broadway musical standards very interesting, entertaining, and original. It had far less shitlib messaging than your average 2020 late-night show or mega-corporation tweet, although this is almost certainly in large part due to it being written pre-2016. It gets into the deep cuts of Hamilton's life (beyond what most people know; I knew he had a sex scandal but not the particulars). I liked the Jefferson rivalry and thought it did a good job of mocking him (showing him "from hamilton's perspective") while also making it clear he was a super-chad polyglot big-dicked badass. The casting of blacks in virtually all of the roles is unambiguously and successfully designed to humanize and lionize them.
I can see some people finding it corny, and I can *definitely* see people being like "wait, this is what's shattering all-time records, getting called the GOAT, etc.?" It's too bubblegum -- too designed to be merely entertaining and catchy -- to be a GOAT contender, since that's really supposed to be reserved for capital-a Art. But (very surprisingly to me) there's almost no case to be made that it's godawful/unbearable.
I fucking hate Miranda and really wanted to hate the shit out of this and Moana; both are actually pretty good. |
