That's where I am. It's about as accurate as Hairspray, but that's not imho a fault. I'm not sure when Broadway musicals became documentaries...post-Lion King and Wicked? If millions of people now kinda know what Yorktown was, and that AH created our fiscal system, still a plus.

That one song in 1776 about the triangle trade did more to address the horrors of slavery and northern state culpability than my entire k-12 curriculum so ... yeah. This.
-
Oof. That scene is terrifying.

If you're saying now is the time to critique Hamilton I'd be down for that, but "It's not historically accurate" isn't a useful critique given that it's a narrative. But actual critique? Go for it.

exactly!! people want to come at hamilton, which was made to entertain and not only to educate, when 100% of our school curriculum glorifies the founding fathers. i’ve read books about jefferson, washington, etc. that don’t even MENTION that they owned slaves.
-
and these are biographies!! which are meant to educate people!! hamilton the musical has flaws in its portrayal of the founding fathers *but* the people complaining about it were silent when so many other pieces of media about these historical figures excluded slavery entirely.

Only callout I have is the bi-erasure, which still makes me sad because I would have loved to have Laurent (or even a Laurent/Angelica duet) for Satisfied, but meh to the rest of it. It's a damn good show, there's a lot more shit to come for at this point.
