      On one hand yep that shit is too expansive which is why I'll probably never see a Broadway play on Broadway, but on the other Hamilton is more accessible then most since they both have the whole ocr on Spotify, and the story only happens in the music.
      So even if one weren't too go for less official methods that Sarah Z might have talked about in a video for example, anyone with internet access can enjoy the story in some way.

      I would have been butthurt with his statement in my 13-16 year old crazy Phangirl phase.
      But as I’ve matured I do understand how cheesy and overrated Phantom can be, especially when compared to my newest obsession Hadestown.
      It’s still my favourite musical though.
      What can I say, I’m a sucker for melodramatic 80’s cheese. And the fact that Schaffrillas doesn’t love it doesn’t change my love for it. Not everyone likes everything.

    I like how Hamilton (the musical) actually makes Burr a better person than he was in real life. In the musical, he's concerned with upholding the legacy set forth by his parents, but in real life, he was a selfish and manipulative little man who eventually moved to Louisiana in an attempt to profit off of war with Spain, leading to Jefferson trying (and failing) several times to get him convicted of treason. He also had a strong desire to conquer Mexico for whatever reason, and to do this was soliciting funds in England for a while. He was eventually kicked out of the country, tried to flee to France, was booted by Napoleon, and ended up back in America. Somewhat ironically, his divorce lawyer was Hamilton's 3rd son.

Also she had older brothers), Lafayette was...actually pretty cool ngl, and Jefferson was a slave owning pedophile rapist who kept his own children as slaves (just read Sally Hemings wikipedia page it is so much worse than just that ohmygod).

      XD I have the show basically memorized so I could just see it by reading it though I read a different translation than what Dave used. So for me, I loved all the character melodrama like was in the show, but didn't care the slightest for the war bits or the endless philosophizing bits so it was intermittently enjoyable. Sometimes really slow, sometimes great. The great comet bit is far from the only good bit, gotta say. Aside from the shitshow of an epilogue, it did have some wonderful conclusions to several character arcs before the epilogue. Also I just hope that maybe someday Dave will go revisit Moby Dick and rewrite it a bunch because the songs are amazing and he clearly knows what he is doing mostly, but a lot of that show was just a big mess and would really benefit from him actually listening to people of colour rather than speaking for them and getting mad at their negative reactions to his (often) bullheaded writing.

    i was a massive greek mythology nerd in middle school, but by the time hadestown rolled around i forgot about orpheus and eurydice. when i found out how their story ended i CRIED. i hadn’t watched anything and knew no plot aside from the myth and wait for me one. then when i saw a bootleg i SOBBED for so long. and every rewatch or relistening through the album i sob again, and every time i still have hope that maybe this time it’ll change. i didn’t even get sad upon hearing the original myth because there was no personhood attached to them, just names and being told they loved each other. taking a myth that’s tragic and sounds hopeless and injecting hope and creating a deep connection to mythic characters that most people don’t know about or barely do??? that’s genius and takes so much talent. and to do it in a way that EVERYONE can relate and see themselves in the story, and to show the dichotomy between hades and persephone’s and orpheus and eurydice’s love? it creates a story you can learn from, but is innately hopeful, and teenagers to old people can relate to and CARE about, AND has accidental parallels to our real world problems (the fact that why we build the wall was written in 2006 and is so relevant now is poetic). setting it in a familiar more recent era like the great depression BUT having it also be post apocalyptic to give liberty is genius. it allows us to connect in a very different way than we would if it was set in ancient greece, especially because a song like flowers can be read as just straight eurydice’s experience with hades transitioning into the underworld, but also sexual assault and abuse and poverty. there’s so much you can recontextualize in hadestown to modern plights and that’s a sign of timeless writing. something like les mis is so much harder to recontexualize for some of the songs because they’re so specifically about the battle, and i think that’s what hamilton also does really well. that’s why it’s so popular, they’re not just broadway songs, they’re songs YOU can listen to and inject yourself into without tying, just like a normal cd
