You dumdums haven't polled the delight cast recording of Hamilton yet; let me help

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.

"simpsons musical" is otm and it's not to my credit that don't work for me. I like corny! this kind of corny i can't countenance. i don't wanna be contrary about it. it has been bothering me.

i'll probably hear it at some point and it'll click and i'll completely fall for it. this is what happened with adventure time. until then, mystified.

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.

in my experience of old-timey broadway vets this is true

"simpsons musical" is otm

Lyle Lanley Miranda

It's rap!

Hear this in the voice of "It's Pat!" for some reason

I saw the show without hearing the soundtrack, and thought that was a Chuck reference

He forgot to mention that he also saw it for free.

>:(

His drinks were also comped.

permaban & nest of fire ants imo

sic actually is LMM

sic is dead to me iirc

no news there

sic you also used "soundtrack" incorrectly

<3

Language is alive.

is that from Hamilton?

Language is a virus.

sic you also used "soundtrack" incorrectly

the correct term is "delight cast recording"

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

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.

yeah i was thinking the same thing!

@dick_nixon
Can you imagine the assholes in those $850 seats? Straight up from Wall St. in a black car, whore on his arm, dope up his nose.

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.”

i still find a reason to listen to this at least once a week

i have not listened to anything this much since i was 15

did I already point out "blow us all away" is a rare triple entendre?

I have to admit that the first thing I thought upon hearing the Brexit vote result was "You're on your own. Awesome. Wow."

lol

do whatever you want I'm super dead

Both John Kerry and Jane Fonda were in the house for Miranda's last performance! It musta been Ex-Radicals Night.

@dick_nixon
It 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.

It musta been Ex-Radicals Night.

Was Gregg Alexander there as well?

can we not with the snide @dick nixon twitter quotes anymore?

please

i dont know why but that twitter account just makes me ia

yeah it's weird there's the fake account for will mcavoy from the newsroom too, so like randos just become twitter pundits now by pretending to be someone dead or a TV character?

yeah idgi

those are two of my least favorite twitter accounts for sure

morbs posting obnoxious fake richard nixton tweets in here is Very Morbs

Morbs should create @alex_hamilton

someone mentioned "that musical the politician rapping" and it took me like 10 minutes to realize he didn't mean BULWORTH
i was like

WHO AM I ANYMORE

lol

dick nixon was better when it was less pundit-y

Every friend who's been able to catch it has left amazed, but I've been reluctant to even listen to the soundtrack. I should get over it, right?

Besides, we all know Burr was the real song and dance man.

get that shit off my hamhams thread
only lin man-m tweets ONLY

Real talk Hamilton probably exists because I had this poster on my wall throughout my teen years

Harsh zing on this show that definitely doesn't find any room for Aaron Burr to do any vocalising or choreographed movement, sir

lin cut his hair last night, twitter freaked the FUCK out it was hilarious
