This week we tackle the Broadway sensation Hamilton. We discuss the way that seeing the live production (on streaming) changed how we perceived certain parts of the narrative, how the staging and blocking adds to the storytelling, and the nature of Burr as an antagonist. We also question what the musical says about ego and legacy, push back against the implicit messages around Hamilton\u2019s affair, and gush over Daveed Diggs.\xa0\nFind us on Facebook and Instagram at Unramblings, on Twitter at @UnramblingsPod, and on our website at MarkCollington.com/Unramblings.
