[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hamilton is a headache inducing mess. The songs are horrible. Its an emperor has no clothes thing. Thankfully we're here to tell the truth. [/quote]

Somehow it's still selling out every week on Broadway nine years and counting.[/quote]

Not PP, but this is not a mark of quality. Andrew Lloyd Weber has produced numerous long-running, hit musicals despite many of them being absolutely awful. Cats ran for 18 years. Broadway audiences are loaded with tourists who just want to go to a show someone back home will have heard of (or see a star they'll have heard, thus the long-running trend of casting big name Hollywood actors in shows, whether they have the chops or not), and are not known for their good taste. Yes, there are also successful shows that are genuinely good, but Hamilton has several trademarks of a very overrated show -- a gimmicky premise, heavy exposure in mainstream (non-Broadway) media, and the the original cast was legitimately wonderful and produced a number of real stars. People will continue to line up for it for years to come, whether it's good or not, because it has the aura of being a Broadway hit that their Aunt Janet will be jealous they saw.[/quote]
