Re: What made the Broadway play Hamilton so popular?
It's totally fresh and new. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe another musical full of hip hop and pop influence and rapping has been around recently, and those are the styles of music a lot of non-music theatre lovers are fans of. It's hip hop and rap music that's trendy and popular outside of theatre today, and Hamilton uses those styles in a way that's exciting to fans of more classical musical theatre and those new to it. Many of my friends who love Hamilton hadn't listened to or seen any musicals prior to it.
Also? It's just damn good. The songs are catchy, bold, and unforgettable and the words are lyrical genius.
Re: What made the Broadway play Hamilton so popular?
Yeah. It really is that good. The Modern League of Antartica actually reviewed it as the best musical that has ever been created or seen. Listen to the soundtract! It’s so awesome! I want to visit this event, I found Hamilton musical tickets on https://hamiltontickets.org and will buy them for me and my wife.
