@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.

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.

I've been reluctant to even listen to the soundtrack.
do i even have to say it? or is it still PEDANTIC to use the accurate term?

@dick_nixonMrs. Nixon and I long ago saw "Hamilton" and enjoyed it. We have not, as yet, ascended into heaven.

it's interesting, if you watch the proto-hamilton clip of lin-manuel performing above, that while still obviously earnestly meant, he's playing up a lot more the irony and ridiculousness of the project. whereas the musical as it came to be is this far more populist thing.

― the lava-staring club (Abbott), Wednesday, 13 July 2016 00:54 (seven years ago) link
I think the show plays with a lot of these ideas---like having JL rap "I'm John Lawrence in the place to be" like he was Barney Rubble. But then contrasting that with Hamilton and Jefferson who have a Jay-Z vs Nas level rivalry.

lin-manuel said having the rap get more complex and move from old school to more complex rapping was a characterization move!
