besser's entire complaint was that white people rapping is awful. when told that barely anyone in the show is white, he said "well it all sounds like white people rap." besser is a guy who spends a lot of time logicly constructing well thought out critiques did please me to hear he cried a lot at star wars though

In the Heights is just okay with lots of moments of near-brilliance, but Hamilton is truly on another level and Matt Besser and many people in this thread have bad opinions.

Yeah it is and it's pretty smart how it contextualizes the lives of the Founding Fathers with modern day metaphors and music? Better and more intelligent than five more lifeless musical adaptions of movies from the 2000's, which is basically what else has plagued Broadway for the past ten years Yeah but sorry ending the derail it's just musical theater is my thing irl and I got a little fired up.

criticizing a musical theatre anything for being a bit silly is weird, since every musical by its nature is a bit silly. if you don't like that, cool, whatever, but pretty pointless to single out shows for that reason

Work Friend Keven posted:Your "thing" is appropriating trash haha. You know I agree Hamilton needs to get more shade just because some of its fans are really weirdly obsessed with the idea that it's some perfect jewel, but I think taking it to 'the negroes and latins need to learn their place away from the white man's theater' is a bit much.

As a Swede with no idea what's on Broadway or the news of it I'm just sitting here thinking everyone have a really confusing time remembering the hit 1998 movie 'Hamilton' about Swedish Special Intelligence Officer Carl Hamilton, starring Peter Stormare and Mark Hamill  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMcJYEGHkXo
