There has been one musical that has pervaded the broadway conversation for almost a year now: Hamilton. My Rent cast mates would quote it, reference it, and there I would be in the dark about what they’re talking about. I benefitted greatly from attending the Hamilton event at Baruch a couple of months back, and the faculty speakers made some astute observations and claims that I would love to share with the class. It is fitting that the semester ends with taking about Hamilton, as it surely may make history with its amount of Tony wins. It already has with its nominations. The articles and reviews I read about Hamilton were well written, and were all overwhelmingly positive. If I were to make one negative comment about Hamilton it’s that I can’t get tickets…well no one can really afford them can they? Until then, I’ll be listening to the cast album wherever I can find it on the internet like everybody else.
