Hot take: Despite everything, Hamilton is still just a really good musical
It's a bombastic story with twists and turns, the music is memorable enough to hold up the show basically on its own, the choreography is clean and decisive... like, if you can wholeheartedly stan RENT in 2020, then Hamilton should be a no-brainer
