Description

In 2023, we reviewed the 2020 film version of the Broadway production of Hamilton. Lin-Manuel Miranda's revolutionary approach to edutainment delivered - for Gen X old heads and young folks alike!

Topics discussed:

🎭 Why we wish all history classes were done like this

πŸ€• Why Hamilton was not without its flaws

🎀 The many hip hop references weaved into the lyrics (and why it was a perfect Gen X soundtrack)

πŸ† Who our MVP was in this show

πŸ… Why it met our expectations, after all these years
