Watching Hamilton. It’s not a musical. It’s a rap. It’s interesting. It’s

I would turn on closed captioning and power through it once

Agree. I turned on the closed captioning to make sure I got all of it
Acorn

Uh it's definitely a musical
JuicyJam

About half. The other half is poetry (rap)
Acorn

There are rap songs in it, but most of it would be considered more traditional musical

Agree. I estimate about half of the “numbers” are music.

It’s fantastic. Loved it live. Enjoyed it watching it on TV. Live is just better.

It is very much a musical and it does, at times, employ a rapping lyrical style.

Definitely a “musical” and it is the best one ever, IMO. Live is even better.

I don’t think so. I’ve never enjoyed rap.

Any raps by Sir Mix A-Lot?

You completely miss the brilliance if you haven’t studied up on (1) Hamilton’s

Exactly my point. I would read the book

Wrong. Some of the songs they sing are incredible

You can read lyrics. You can also read music but that is reading.

15 minutes of evaluation is what I’m referring to

What is your evaluation of the lead’s singing ability?

That is what hit me first. Why does this guy have the lead? (Because he wrote

Which lead are you referring to? Phillipa Soo is marvelous

I saw it in SF with a real performer as Alexander. He was amazing. By the way, Lin-Manuel said there's a reason it's not
