Hamilton is an American classic. Anyone who studies the play, and how it came to be, will likely come to see that. I’ve spent a LOT of time with it ... and find it absolutely inspirational.
What is significant politically is that the popularity of the play is probably solely responsible for raising Hamilton’s public persona to the point that Obama’s plan to replace Hamilton with Harriet Tubman on the $20 Bill was foiled. People now have more information what great things Hamilton did for the country at an important point in history.

My then 14 year old son was not impressed and questioned why a black cast and swear words were in the show. I explained that ANYONE bringing our nation’s founding to the fore and touching on our history and making people look at that history is a winner in my eyes.
Absolutely an amazing show, with some historical warts that people will come to realize when they start their own journey of “fact-checking” what they see as erroneous history.
Oh, and the king is HILARIOUS!
L.M. Miranda has my respect and appreciation.
But the mob here wants all things popular with the left to be destroyed.
Some of the people here are as bad as BLM with their lame cancel crap.
It’s a musical folks...
