[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is one better than the other?

DP. I haven't seen both to compare, but the Angelica tour company is fantastic, they definitely didn't feel like a tour company. I saw it with a friend who's a professional musician and who saw it on Broadway first, and his sacrilegious opinion was that Austin Scott is a better Alexander Hamilton than Lin-Manuel Miranda.[/quote]

Sorry to ask the obvious given context, but...

Is Austin an immigrant?[/quote]

We're all immigrants, except those of us who are descended from native Americans.

I think you must mean, "Is Austin Scott non-white?" Google is your friend.[/quote]

No, sorry, you are very confused.

It's not the same to be an immigrant than to be a descendant of immigrants.

[b]And Hamilton was an immigrant, which means he probably spoke with an accent[/b], something like LMM does, and which Austin doesnt.

Are you xenophobic by any chance?[/quote]

Everyone at that time spoke with what we would today consider an accent. And as an immigrant, Hamilton was by no means unusual- the majority of people living in the colonies were immigrants at that time.

Some early Americans didn’t even speak English. The Dutch colonists/Americans continued to speak Dutch for generations. President Van Buren grew up speaking Dutch as his primary language.

And the English spoken at that time is closer to our current American accent than the current British accent.
