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)

"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.

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.
