It's called Hamilton, but many of the other founding fathers are in it
as well (e.g. George Washington). He and Thomas Jefferson were at
loggerheads for much of the creation of the US, and had diametrically
opposed views about states rights versus a strong central government
(Hamilton was very much a common man, and Jefferson was much more of an
aristocrat).
I think that Lin Manuel Miranda re-imagined it somewhat by using a cast
who was almost entirely composed of people of color to see how it would
spin. I think it is historically accurate in so far as you can do that.
Surely some of the 4th wall comments are made up, but do reflect what we
believe the people of that time were thinking.

there is a gun fight? Is it revisionist history?

I have been interested in watching that. I had thought I'd just get a
free trial account to just watch this, but they terminated the free
trial program just prior to putting this up.
I can wait some more.

have several friends that are planning multiple viewing parties
tomorrow (Multiple viewings at the same house). Interesting to see
what it does to streaming levels. Is it as big in the rest of the
country as it is here in Chicagoland?
