      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.

      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).

    "While not being interested in any other portion of War and Peace whatsoever" okay fair BUT, despite its length, war and peace absolutely slaps. watch the bbc series for a general idea of the rest of the plot and mental images of the characters that don't appear in great comet, then read it or get an audiobook, because not only is it fun to brag about, but it goes fucking HARD. I recommend listening to the great comet soundtrack as you go when you get to volume 2 part 5 though, because you will appreciate Malloy's skills as an adaptor much more once you realise JUST HOW MANY of the lines are ripped right out of the book

    • @asterismos5451
      @asterismos5451 3 года назад +1

      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.

Besides the music, and the inclusion that Shrek and Ffiona were forced to be alone from a young age, I don't think the musical added anything more to the story that was already there and they really could have expanded upon a few things. Instead the script is cut almost word for word from the film so any time someone isnt singing, the story is what we've heard before and as someone who kiiinda obsesses over Shrek and has watched it since it came out in theaters as a 6 year old, the musical adaptation when there is no music is boring haha
