why are people downvoting Hamilton? is it not good?


We just finished it. Had not seen it in person. It's pretty good. Jefferson and King George were the highlights. King George basically steals the show.

It's definitely one of the better plays to come out in the last 5 years, but I don't think it rises to the level of all the clamoring about it. Glad I didn't go crazy trying to get tickets for this.

I know he created it, but I honestly thought Lin-Manuel Miranda was the worst actor on the stage. He did fine, but the other actors definitely stole the scenes he was in.

ETA: As for downvotes, I think people are tired of race swapping only being okay in one instance.

He is a proficient actor and singer, but he made sure to cast some of the most talented actors and singers on Broadway around himself. In many cases, he literally wrote the parts to their strengths such that it has been difficult to cast their replacements (Leslie Odom Jr, Daveed Diggs).

PBS has a documentary covering his creation of it that I strongly recommend.

Daveed Diggs did legit work. I was impressed.
