[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hamilton is the sort of musical that Rent was. Pure heaven for the NPR Set because it was so "vital" and "urgent" and "timely". Taken right from the front pages of the Times! But objectively, when viewed from afar, the music was largely pedestrian and mediocre. I mean, just listen to some Sondheim and compare them. It's almost embarrassing. [/quote] Sondheim was a talent of his time. Same with LMM. Sondheim would probably be considered boring by younger generations. Hamilton uses 20,053 words over basically 2.5 hours. It would take a typical Broadway musical 6 hours to use the same number of words. LMM is faster, more in keeping with a faster-paced world. I think that is one of the biggest issues for traditional Broadway audiences and their lack of appreciation for LMM. [/quote]
