It's hateable on so many levels.

You Trumpanzees only hate it because the cast called out Mike Pence.

You know, the word "tacky" comes to mind. George Washington did not breakdance. He held slaves. It's that "Springtime for Hitler" quality that makes me queasy. Rich white liberals just eat it up though, I have a friend that paid something like 500 beans a ticket for this monstrosity.

So it's the TED Talks of Broadway?

I dunno, In The Heights was ok in that in was an inner-city musical that didn't rip off Shakespeare or Puccini, but it still wasn't very good.

I wish I hadn't wasted my stars. They were meant for you.

They yelled at Mike Pence so now half the internet feels obligated to pretend this musical is bad.

Different strokes. I think it's cringe inducingly bad.

And I have nothing against the cast. Their causing Trump retards to get their panties in a bunch gets brownie points from me. It doesn't make their production suck any less though.

Call me uncultured, but I think I'd rather end it all than sit through a hip hop musical about the founding fathers.

It's an expensively staged seventh grade American History skit and has become the darling of our media and political 'elites' that crosses various lines. But it does utilize "hip-hop", such a daring choice to use an edgy, out-there, up and coming sub-genre with only nearly four decades of mainstream exposure.

I have nothing against hip-hop, mind you but people are acting like it's so 'novel' and 'daring' to set a musical about one of the Founding Fathers to it that it almost makes me annoyed.

OH MY! People on POE hating on something that's popular? How shocking and unexpected! How will I ever account for such an anomaly?

I've never heard a word of Hamilton, so I'm not going to defend it, but I like what I've seen of Lin-Manuel Miranda quite a bit.

Sure, people are "hating on" Hamilton just because it's popular, you shambling mediocrity.

I don't know if it's good or bad, but I sure as hell knew that you were going to hate on it.

And please don't pick on my shambling! So I have an old volleyball injury, so what?

>>>I have nothing against hip-hop, mind you but people are acting like it's so 'novel' and 'daring' to set a musical about one of the Founding Fathers to it that it almost makes me annoyed.

It's not groundbreaking, but it is counterintuitive, and it risks spectacular failure. A hip-hop musical about a US founding father isn't a guaranteed success, and if it bombs, it's going to bomb Nagasaki-style. I think there's an audacity there you're failing to acknowledge, provided that it suceeds... not in being new, but in being good. If you're saying that it doesn't, yours is the minority opinion, which doesn't make it wrong, of course.

I think it's time for me to sniff out some clips.

Cats bugs the hell out of me. "Watch as we introduce this cast of unique and crazy characters!"

"Oh neat and now what are you going to do with them."

"NOTHING! Good night!"

High school? If I had seen something like this when I was in elementary school, I still would have rolled my eyes.

Do you think they're working on a play about hip-hop math, next?

Calculus: The Musical has some rap sections in it iirc, so you're already covered.

A miserable pile of secrets. But enough talk!

Jesus that was awful.

So Hamilton is loved by people who can't get enough of the Capitol Steps?
