For those just entering the Hamilton fandom thanks to Disney+

1)Welcome!

2) before you start with the “woke hot takes” about Hamilton, we have already had all of these conversations. Please don’t make us go back.

A) the characters in the musical are far from accurate portrayals of the founding fathers.

B) you can acknowledge that the real historical figure was racist/homophobic/misogynistic etc. And still like the musical

C)the musical is NOT historically accurate. Lin acknowledges it in many interviews and in the Hamiltome (the book about the making of the musical) for example: the Schuylers had more than three daughters, the Hamilton’s has more than two children, Angelica was already married prior to meeting Hamilton, it is more than likely that Hamilton, Laurens, Lafayette, and Mulligan were never actually in the same place at once... I can go on.

D) if Hamilton the musical has sparked your interest in learning what really happened, that’s good. Don’t let people bully you out of learning because of the catalyst of your interest.

Please. You can romanticize the Broadway characters. You can identify with the Broadway character. But if I see “Thomas Jefferson did nothing wrong uwu” in the tags again, I’m going to lose my shit.

Okay? Cool.

I’d like to say something

Liking the “those musicals” doesn’t make you a bad theatre nerd. If it was Hamilton, Heathers, DEH or BMC that got you into the Broadway community that’s totally okay! If those are your favourite musicals and you haven’t gotten around to listening to others ones that’s okay!

What ISN’T OKAY is thinking those are the only valid/good musicals and refusing to accept the merits of underrated musicals and expanding your horizons

It doesn’t make you cool to hate on overrated musicals, and it doesn’t make you cool to ignore underrated ones

Bootlegs to Trade

Hey Guys!

So I’m slowly building up my list of bootlegs to trade. So if anyone is interested in trading, just send me a message!

Info:

1.) All bootlegs are sent via a link through Google Drive where some may have to be downloaded to view (this is because the files are so big).

2.) My wants are listed below what shows I have. While I do have shows I really want, I’m also open to anything I don’t have. I’m also open for any play bootlegs and would be just as happy to trade them.

3.) Some bootlegs may say “in # parts” this just means the show is separated over a certain amount of videos. So you’d be receiving more than one video in the trade which would add up to the full show.

“The most unrealistic thing about ‘Love Simon’ was that their high school let them put on Cabaret.”
