I can't believe you actually said "I've only seen 10 minutes posted online" and "why hasn't anyone said this is a bit rubbish?" in the same post.

Like...seriously, how utterly moronic do you have to be to write those two phrases right after one another and NOT think to yourself "hmm...maybe, just maybe, my logic here is seriously flawed given that my evidence is severely lacking"? Seriously?

I mean, sure, you might still think it's rubbish if you saw the whole thing, but how, how, how can anyone possibly decide that everyone who actually saw a whole play must be wrong while someone who watched 10 minutes of a videotaped clip of a play online must be right?

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, I think a substantial proportion of the people gushing about it online haven't seen it either. My facebook feed is full of folks who are obsessed with it based on clips and/or the soundtrack, but I don't think I know anyone who has actually seen it.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, that's also pretty dumb, but it's still at least possible to genuinely like clips or a soundtrack, even if you wouldn't like the play itself and therefore can't make a legit claim about whether the full play is good or not.

But to assume that 1) you know better than people who have actually seen it and 2) the people who like it (whether they like the actual play or the random clips they've seen) are just PRETENDING to like it is a whole other league of dumb.

PEDANTRY ALERT: due to the nature of Broadway theater (exclusive both in terms of cost and geography), lots of musical nerds have only listened to the cast album of certain musicals. Usually, this means that they miss out on the book (regular play) bits of the musical, but Hamilton is rapped and sung through, so they hear everything but one scene.

[(Anonymous)]

This! As someone who lives way far away from Broadway and doesn't have money to even see many tours, Hamilton is an incredibly complete soundtrack. Yeah I imagine I'm missing a lot of staging stuff, but comparing it to, idk, Wicked's cast album, you get a waaaaay more complete story from the Hamilton OBC than is normal. (It is 2.5 hours long after all.)

And the only part that isn't on the soundtrack, Lin Manuel Miranda posted the script for online for fans.

I agree that ten minutes doesn't give the whole picture, but it's probably long enough to let a person know that a piece of art isn't something they's like. Which doesn't make it "rubbish," just not a thing OP would enjoy. I don't see the point of forcing yourself to watch an entire play or movie to confirm the hypothesis, but again--that's taste, not the quality of the work.

I confess I am very bored by the Hamilton-squee by (mostly) American friends on my Facebook feed, but I admit that's because I don't care for rap and am not very interested in that period of American history. I wouldn't say that means the musical is rubbish--just that it's not something I'm interested in checking out.
