I was kind of bored by the first 30 minutes of Hamilton. The music wasn’t catchy, LMM is a weirdly limited singer, and I was settling in, ready to complain about the hype.
Then there’s King George, the wedding, the rewind, the transcendentally talented girls start doing their thing, the turntable bullet-time kicks in… and eventually, that little nerd with the limited voice made me cry twice.
So yeah… turns out the hype undersold it.
