I agree with this comment. The music is good, but the music on its own is not what makes the musical so special. Objectively, the lyrics to Hurricane are kind of lame, but the staging of it is so freaking amazing that it's hard not to love it for that. I'm lucky enough to have seen it twice, the second time the day after the Grammys when most of the cast was tired/sick, which is why I feel totally certain about saying that something as simple as the amount of energy they bring to the performance and which you can feel from the audience ups the caliber of the show. It's a performance where the actors give everything they have, and they have a lot to give. It's also one of the best things to come to Broadway in a long time.

In a different season, we'd have been hearing about how revolutionary Bright Star or Tuck Everlasting is (and they are, go see them since tickets for Hamilton are totes impossible to get). What makes Hamilton special is it's the total package, and one that comes with universal appeal in America because, let's face it, the American Revolution will always be interesting to Americans.

"the American Revolution will always be interesting to Americans."

No it won't. Only to people who love to bastardize it. Not that it's a big deal per say, but if people really liked it they'd take the time to actually learn about it instead of spreading false information like saying its main goal was literally only about tea or that there was no actual purpose or benefit.

"[I]f people really liked it they'd take the time to actually learn about it instead of spreading false information like saying its main goal was literally only about tea or that there was no actual purpose or benefit."

I literally do not know of any American over the age of 13 who sincerely believes that the American Revolution was about tea. If you're going to give an overly broad generalization, the better one would be that the American Revolution was all about "taxation without representation" or "independence," which are not entirely inaccurate but also lack serious analysis of the major issues related to the Revolution. It seems to me that your bigger complaint should be that people are gullible when it comes to history. If an author tells a good story, the general populace isn't going to complain about historical accuracy. That doesn't mean that they aren't interested in hearing about the Revolution, just that they're willing to take what they're told at face value. If the truth is told in an interesting way, that would likewise suffice, but authors of creative material intended for entertainment purposes will bend the truth to make for a better story and that's not surprising. "Based on a true story" does, after all, imply that there is some level of inaccuracy in what's being presented. Sometimes, close is good enough.

That being said, Chernow's biography of Hamilton is indisputably historically accurate and still selling well, so I stand by my prior statement.
