[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's all my kids are talking about and listening to these days. They're enthralled and I was wondering if it was a wider phenomenon. [/quote]

Nope. Not at all really. Maybe it's more of a thing with teens who don't read history?[/quote]

BWAH HAHAHAHA. It's pretty true to history - Miranda took some dramatic license, but Ron Chernow fact-checked the whole thing for him.

FWIW, I love Hamilton. I majored in history and still read more nonfiction than fiction 25 years later. But if you prefer to think that only uneducated people like Hamilton, knock yourself out.[/quote]

Ron Chernow has a ticket to every performance so he can watch whenever he likes.  He still will give feedback on stuff.

And the people I know who love Hamilton are highly educated, well-read, and interested in history.  There's definitely some dramatic license, but Miranda basically went over all of that with Chernow to explain why he was changing to facts to streamline the storytelling.  [/quote]
