Interesting article.

“Hamilton” is revered by the liberals, for the way it allegedly teaches us history at the same time it entertains us and creates thought provoking drama.

I wonder if it’s also revered, because they insisted on members of minority groups to be the actors, even though the historic figures portrayed were all white? So that makes it “edgy” or something?????

What next? An white actor portraying, say, Michael Jackson?

Yet, many of the same people got upset when a white actor portrayed Michael Jackson, a monster in real life.

Orson Welles did it first with Macbeth in Harlem I believe.

You don’t make billion with crap on Broadway. It’s time to move on to another issue.

I don't know, since I haven't seen it - I want to see "Hamilton", however, to see what the fuss is all about. If the multi-ethnic casting can generate interest in the Founding Fathers and their intentions for our nation by people who wouldn't otherwise care, I think that's a good thing.
