Sigh.
I’ve seen it twice in NYC and will go to Chicago. Then LA, and then Houston. I’ll probably actually go see it in London.
I think it’s the greatest work of American art to date.
It’s incredibly important, incredibly inspiring, and at the end of the day, a profoundly conservative work of art and it accomplishes so much that we only wish we could have done in the realm of culture by getting millions of people now thinking seriously about and engaging deep with our founders.
I can’t stand the fact that most broadway people can’t keep their mouth shut about contemporary politics, and yah, broadway is very gay.
But all that said, I hope Pence enjoyed this incredible, pro-America, pro-conservative values, musically brilliant and dramatic and historical piece of art about one of our greatest founders, Alexander Hamilton — and without a doubt, our greatest founding mother, Eliza Hamilton.
I’m so glad you love the show also.
There’s a bunch of us here at FR, and we are just as conservative as everyone else, were just as thrilled with Trump’s victory as everyone else. It’s just that we see Hamilton differently, and we love the arts....all that said, I get it. I get where other people are coming from.
I’m just glad that Pence went b/c I think he will love it.
I’m sorry for all the jackasses in the audience who don’t know shit about America even though they are about to watch Hamilton, and don’t know that Pence is deserving of respect.
Finally...yes Lin Manual Miranda is a liberal. But I don’t think he would like booing Pence. That is not who he is. These people are just asses.
Sigh.
Great reply. And I agree completely.
Greatest work of American art? Maybe. It is that good.
Have you seen the documentary? Amazing what went into this musical. It’s really inspiring.
FWIW, my daughter is performing with a Broadway show in 80 cities this year, for 6 months. We are Christians, and conservatives ... and love the arts. God loves a good story ... and so do we.
Well
The story I read is THE CAST also saw fit to lecture Vice President Elect Pence and his wife
Is that not true?
If it is, do you STILL praise it/them
Growing up, I had a few child leads in shows. Hartford Stage and Goodspeed are nice places. Even back then, it was different than normal.
