Hamilton was artistically and historically poo poo, and I already want to make a stage show about William Playfair, the 1700s Scottish picaresque rogue who invented piecharts barcharts & linecharts. I have no music/singing/acting experience but I am an expert on this bizarre guy's life and I'm physically in London for a month or two, and I lived in NYC for 10 years intentionally avoiding Hamilton. This could be a by-the-numbers biography but there's infinite creative room for sub-theatreing East Coast rich people's favorite show https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Playfair   I'm a Data Visualization professional who loves this dude anyway (he blackmailed a Lord) and happen to hate Hamilton, like many theatre goons

He also has a cryptographic cipher named after him which is pretty neat I guess

We should make up a sensationalized conflict between him and Munehisa Honma, inventor of the candlestick chart.

Give the Finance bros someone to root for. Playfair was a big picture nerd, but Muneshisa lived rice markets

Playfair died without photography, but some of these portraits were very accurate

I think your idea is great. I know when I was watching Hamilton I thought "Hey this is pretty good, but it could use some charts and graphs".

I'll watch the stage recording but it's hard to write the best satirical burns without insider knowledge
