You’re right. I’ve never seen it. And I likely won’t. Not because I’m completely against the historical portrayal, but because I genuinely don’t like musicals.

I actually have zero issue with that

Though, with that said, I used to be the same way. I always found the “music” part to be mostly pointless interludes interrupting an otherwise good play. Part of the reason why people freaked out about Hamilton is that nearly the entire musical is in number. The example I give is that the soundtrack to Wicked is like 50m long. The soundtrack to Hamilton is like 2h30m. The running time for the entire production is 2h40m.

If you ever want to give musical theater a shot, Hamilton is a good candidate.
