I know this is a big deal and everyone loves it and I'll see it here next year and I'm sure it's good, but I heard someone playing this and could have sworn ... it sounded like a Simpsons parody of musicals?

I was jokingly wondering if having angry Washington saying "These men don't speak for me" after Ten Duel Commandments was a conscious echo of Chuck D being mad at having his voice sampled on Ten Crack Commandments. Lin is so nerdy it was probably intentional.

Hey You Guys!
Did you know LMM was on the 00s revival of The Electric Company?

I was watching this with my toddlers and paused the playback when I realized who that was. Also, that revival was so terrible and his song fit so well into the overly corny try-hard vibe that my interest in Hamilton nosedived and it wasn't until the Tonys broadcast that I got interested in it again.

alright so i saw a few freestyle love supreme shows in passing back when i was working at a place they played and man i just really don't like miranda's style. i missed out on early opportunities to see hamilton in workshops/at the Public so i didn't hear it until the cast recording and oh boy it is frankly unlistenable to me. but i'm happy so many people like it! the fact that it's a huge hit helps keep a number of people i care about reasonably paid! almost everyone whose opinion i respect loves it! i dunno what's wrong with me! it's just flat and terrible to my ears.

on the other side of the spectrum, former vintage-classic-rock-DJ and musical-theatre-baby Jonathan Schwarz was saying on his 'American songbook' radio show last Sunday that old-timey Broadway vets were all "It's rap! Get it away from me" etc.

LMM announced he's leaving the show July 9 :( and that they are filming 2 performances before he leaves, which is promising :)
not a huge shock, everyone p much knew he was leaving in july. and javier munoz is great. but it will be kinda sad to see him go
pbs doc is supposed to air in October, that should be cool
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 16 June 2016 16:38 (seven years ago) link
It would be cool if they did one of those live events simulcast in movie theaters around the country before he left. Seems like they could pull in quite a haul of cash.

Mr. Miranda said he would turn his attention to other projects, including finishing work on the score and songs for “Moana,” an animated Disney film; completing an album of “Hamilton” covers and “Hamilton”-inspired songs called “The Hamilton Mixtape”; and preparing to begin rehearsals for a live-action sequel to “Mary Poppins,” which he will star in alongside Emily Blunt.
“I’m leaving because I have other opportunities that are going to need my mental real estate,” he said.
He said he expected to spend much of next year in London, where the movie will be filmed. And he said he planned to cut his hair, which he had grown out for the role of Alexander Hamilton.
He said that before he leaves the cast the current production of “Hamilton” would be filmed for preservation purposes but that he was not sure when or how the film might be available to the public. He also confirmed that a documentary about “Hamilton” would air on PBS this fall.
He said he expected to rejoin the cast of “Hamilton” at times, either in New York or elsewhere — the show has announced productions in Chicago and London and two North American tours — but that he is not sure when, where or for how long he would do that.
“This is a role I am going to be going back to again and again,” he said. “I plan to revisit this role a lot.”

@dick_nixonIt doesn't surprise me that the "West Wing" theme was played at "Hamilton." It seems apt. That is not a compliment.
It interests me that Hamilton, who knew the game as well as anybody, should get swept up in a lot of phony hand-on-heart fantasies.
