Would it work as a film?

They won't allow this to become a movie until the ticket sales drop below $200

>Favorite song?

Jefferson was the best part of the musical

I have quite a few favorite songs. Dear Theodosia, Satisfied, You'll Back, Say no to this, I know him, The room where it happens, It's quiet uptown, The world was wide enough, Who Lives, Who dies, Who tells your story, and also the various of The story of tonight. I enjoyed the second half of the musical because it took more of a darker tone in comparison to the first half. It's very evident in the songs "Say no to this", which as you know is about Hamilton's infidelity, and It's Quiet Uptown, where the Hamiltons have to deal with the loss of their son Phillip.

Unfortunately I do not know of any places where you can learn about the American Revolution.

I would love for this to happen

Here's a cut song if you haven't heard it yet

They'll make it work eventually. The only sad part is that we probably won't see the broadway cast in the roles.

It really made me more interested in what exactly happended in the Revolutionary War.

Pretty much in American history, it's just taught that we won. But it's more that the British just gave up. I read the Hamilton biography and started a Burr biography and when I get done with that I'll read the Washington biography.

It made me a more learned man, so that was good.

I can see why this was cut cause overall it's pretty weak but damn the last bit.

Who?

daily reminder that Philipa Soo-fu is playing Amelie

It doesn't even work as a musical

WE

I'm still waiting on the Cats film.

> But it's more that the British just gave up

As a Brit, I was amazed that an American piece of media acknowledged this, as well as recognising the French and even the Spanish contribution to the war. How the hell has a hip-hop musical presented a more balanced view of the revolution than every movie about it?

Although it's a shame how they presented King George as a tyrant. The guy didn't want a war, and didn't have the power to start one anyway. That was the fault of Lord North and the government.

that's happening the guy who made les miserables is making it

What about "wait for it"

Is Hamilton peak MusicKino? It's literally the comfiest thing

Act II> Act I

I honestly cannot imagine anyone but Daveed Diggs playing the role. He is too perfect.

Also really good, as well as The Room where it Happens. Burr has some god tier songs. I think Lin-Manuel said he considers those two the best songs he's written.

Tfw my sister is in Hamilton

i saw hamilton in chicago a few days ago

How was it? I have tickets for December.

Only if they hire Bone Thugs-n-Harmony to completely rewrite everything and star in it

Bizzie Bone for Hamilton

Have you banged her?

No she's my sister

It doesn't even work as a stage show it's so fucking awful

Ah, I see. She's hideous

Would this work as a musical?

i liked it a lot. you should have a good time

Not really honestly. Songs are too stagey, reliant on timing. I could see Schuyler Sisters working but the Cabinet Battles would be silly.

>How the hell has a hip-hop musical presented a more balanced view of the revolution than every movie about it
Because it was written by a nigger who hates America.
>cast all the roles as niggers
>shitty rap songs on Broadway
>praises a federalist piece of shit who tried to destroy America
Fuck Hamilton. Thomas Jefferson musical when.

Fuck this was so good. I'd love to see it again.

They will soon enough. Only four of the original cast are still there.

Also, it might not be the whole musical but the PBS special will supposedly feature a lot of fully staged songs.

youtube.com/watch?v=uYJjF2jJtsU

Superior musical incoming.

Hopefully never. Really liked it but i feel being a movie would take away from its charm.

That's funny because the cabinet battles and Hamilton in general was partly inspired by 8 Mile the movie.

Hamilton is the faggiest lamest thing I've ever heard.

What the fuck is wrong with you all

twitter.com/NerdsforHer/status/788227436735528960

Just watch this and tell me it's good

God he's a shitty rapper

I made my sister read this and she got fucking pissed

currentaffairs.org/2016/07/you-should-be-terrified-that-people-who-like-hamilton-run-our-country

It'd trigger the neckbeards big time

A musical is faggy?!? Next you'll be telling me the Pope is Catholic.

Hamilton is fucking terrible

this is a great, and hilarious piece

Hamilton is shit music and shit history.

>federalist
>piece of shit

Confirmed for knowing nothing about our government

T. for your opinion, guy with no taste.

>Bone Thugs-n-Harmony to completely rewrite everything and star in it
>audiences can't understand their delivery at all
Fund it

Oh wow, an entire article about "stop liking what I don't like"

No, there is no way to do it without sacrificing what makes it decent theatre. You can probably squeeze a mediocre film out of it, but it wouldn't do the source justice. It would be just like when they tried making Rent into a movie. It was a decently fun stage show because it was so minimalist and avant guard that the energy of the performance was the focus. When they tried putting it to film it became and the spontaneity of it was eliminated, you were just left with a mediocre story about a bunch of assholes (who were way too old at that point to be doing the starving artist routine), and every time they started singing begged the question, why the fuck are they singing?

Hamilton would be the same, except you'd be sitting there wondering why Aaron Burr is black and why the fuck are the founding fathers rapping.

Musicals make more money on stages than in theaters.

Unless it's Disney.

I haven't seen Hamilton, this is basically what it is right? Is this what Hamilton is?

>comparing a Broadway musical to a group of idiots on America's Got Talent before calling Hamilton "nerdcore rap"

This article is an embarrassment.

That's really not true, strictly speaking. Granted it's two entirely different business models, but Hamilton is the biggest show on Broadway and it makes around half a million a week. That's pretty fantastic as far as theatre goes, but that would be considered a huge flop by even, like, Adam Sandler standards.

Well Adam Sandler/Happy Madison movies are similar to a real-life version of the scenario in The Producers

>comparing a Broadway musical to a etc etc etc

I live in Hell's Kitchen and work in New York Theatre. Broadway shows aren't nearly as impressive as you're making them out to be.

Are the tickets still exorbitantly expensive?

Hamilton is dogshit, so no, it wouldn't.

They're a hell of a lot more impressive than four guys in Halloween store pirate costumes making fools of themselves for Howie Mandel's amusement.

Yes and no. Good seats are ridiculous, but I saw it the other day for $35. Orchestra center. Student rush, bruh.

>He hasn't seen Forbidden Broadway or Naked Boys Singing

I will not rest until Action Bronson plays William Howard Taft in the sequel

I'm looking forward to it. I almost got to sit in on a Tech Rehearsal, super bummed I didn't get to go to that...

maybe if they write like they're running out of time

>Washington biography.

I read that one last year. Very good, very easy read. The only thing that irked me about it was, despite being totally unbiased throughout, whenever Washington's slaves were mentioned, the author felt the need to insert some opinion into it.

I'm no Cred Forumsack but nobody needs to be told that slavery=bad. I swear every time we get a page or two about Washington's slaves, the passage inevitably ends with something like "Washington just couldn't bring himself to quit the evil practice of slave owning." It always jumped out and felt out of place, as if they were last minute insertions forced by the publisher.

Aside from that, great bio. My wife was pregnant while I read it, and it made me want to name our baby Washington, if it was a boy, but my wife vetoed it.

Federalist is shit, you stupid commie fuck. If you're not an anti-federalist, it's because you're a socialist sack of cunts, Bernie.

I hated the Les Mis movie, but I love the Rent movie. What do you think of Rent?

I did see the movie Rent before I knew what kind of stage play it was, and I have since seen it on stage, and now I guess I appreciate both in their own ways.

They'd have to cut stuff out but it could work. The casting would be interesting to see.

jfc, this guy really does more than imply that all hip-hop is the same and can see no reason why Epic Rap Battles of History is undeserving of the Pulitzer if Hamilton won one.

He should have prefaced his article by saying "okay I admit I don't like any rap whatsoever...however..."

Maybe it's because I'm half white, but I was really bothered how they made the Founding Fathers black. I get that it's just a play, but it seems sort of wrong.

>hurr why are the Montagues wearing Hawaiian shirts and shooting guns and driving cars I'm so confused

It's called a stylistic choice. I'm guessing you liked Passion of the Christ because it was in Hebrew.

>federalists are socialists

Kek. Federalists would have been absolutely horrified by the idea of socialism. Imagine somebody explaining to Alexander "eww, poor people" Hamilton that the working classes should seize the means of production.

I haven't seen the show, but bought the cast recording about 8 months ago due to all the hype. I'm a history nerd who doesn't like rap and doesn't really like musicals, but...

Hamilton is probably the greatest artwork of the 21st century. I've been obsessed with it for months, listen to it just about every day, and people who don't like it are contrarian faggots who are just trying to be edgy. It's incredible from start to finish.

I don't think I can pick a favorite song. The more rap-oriented stuff (My Shot, Right Hand Man, Cabinet Battles) is great, as is the stuff with more emotional heft (Satisfied, It's Quiet Uptown, Dear Theodosia), and so is everything else (King George songs, The Room Where It Happens, One Last Time).

There is not a single weak spot in the entire 2.5 hours of music. Fuck anyone who doesn't like it.
