hakimashou posted:I'm not even a little bit racist I voted for Obama and I think sherman should have burned down more than just atlanta Hm, well, a racist definitely wouldn't lust for white death, so I guess the D&D poster really WAS mistaken! Actually on the topic of Hamilton I read an article about it and it's pretty alarming if you consider that we're essentially making a group of white slave-owners into a multi-cultural ethnically diverse song and dance troupe, effectively ignoring the fact that these men and the nation they ultimately founded had at its economic bedrock an institution of racial slavery.

I recall he was one of the good founding fathers like Adams. Plus all the wackos hate him since he understood we needed banks and stuff. hakimashou fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Mar 25, 2017 |

His contribution to the Federal Papers was to say that common people can't govern themselves, and only society's elites would be suitable to be elected to office. He was effectively wanting to establish a codified aristocracy in the U.S.

You know how theres always some enormously awkward catastrophe that kills whatever topical slang or move of an era, like how miley cyrus buried twerking and your dad ruined fo shizzle Hamilton is looking to succeed where Macklemore failed, and kill rap as a popular genre for good

I know but part of the charm of (or the whole point of) Hamilton undeniably is "This story was stolen from another ethnic group", and my all-white production of "The Wiz" would fulfill this need. Wizard of oz is completely different.

Usually only racists pretend they have no racism, being completely free of racism is a fantasy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RovF1zsDoeM I'm super not racist but I'm probably unconsciously still racist in a lot of ways, because I was raised in a racist society.

i saw a rocky horrorshow on the offbroadway and crimson carrots! it was a hecka good time. mr. Sebastian bach of skid row and trailer park boys fame played riff raff and he was beautiful like a gleaming precious woman with powerful magickal hair and the essence of Sephora dusted luxuriously upon his taut face. a guy named terrence mann who once played the bounty hunter alien in the movie CHUDS was the tim curry in the play and he packed a wallop!! his voice boomed like a piano dropped for an ungodly height. he strutted and stuffed and impressed us all with his non-toxic masculinity and empowered femininity. it put us all at ease and gave us tingles we hadn't expected in places we don't usually talk about in public (no one else mentioned the tingles but i knew they shared the tingles, i could feel them comin in the air tonight) but the true highlight was the consummate professional mr. Gilbert gottfried who had fun with a purpose in his role of "the criminologist". his distinctive mouth sounds were a nice counterbalance to the soothing gentle energetic aural emanations from the rest of the play. after the show i met him and shook his hand and got a picture with him and an autograph and it was like getting jacked off by a kennedy, an important dead one, it was that heckin good. sadly there had been a 9/11 not long before the play started and people were afraid of nyc so to my horror the show was forced to stop must going on  but hearing terrence mann and seeing sebastian bach and touching gilbert gottfried was a trifecta of goodfeels and it changed my life in ways my doctors still haven't entirely uncovered i haven't heard anyone describe hamilton with words like "CHUD" and "tingles" and "gleaming" so i feel like it probably isn't for me but I have no doubt it's better than every play that isn't Rockys picture horrorshow

I spent the first three months of my Hamilton exposure being annoyed by it. I slowly began paying attention to it, and noticed that there is a ton of beautiful things in it. Try the songs. They are quite good! "Wait for it" (could easily be a single on the radio) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReTP6x_sDiM "Schuyler Sisters" (70s motown(?) -- song actually starts at 20 seconds in) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZdrzOdd8Kw "Satisfied," which is a highly creative song that features an actual performed "rewind". The singer, Angelica, is performing her wedding toast to her sister, but is actually reliving/regretting her snap judgement decision to let Eliza have Hamilton instead of keeping him for herself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0EqxnWxlvY If you like these, there are about 40 other songs in the show that deliver 27000+ words in 2.5 hours. Hamilton is an amazing musical. Captain Finance fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Mar 26, 2017 |

I have a viscerally negative reaction to hamilton's music, but probably only because my kid brother had it on repeat for like days on end when I visited one time, I think that'd kill the vibe for anyone

QuoProQuid posted:andrew lloyd webber wrote a sequel to phantom of the opera where the phantom moves to new york to open a circus as part of an elaborate gambit to win back christine's love. also, the phantom and christine have a secret love child for some reason and the love interest from the original musical becomes an abusive alcoholic. Worth pointing out that ALW essentially had to write it twice because apparently his cat stepped all over his keyboard and deleted his music at one point. Imagine how much worse the first draft was.
