I'm personally somewhere in between "rapping Founding Fathers WTF" and "this is the most awesome show ever." I can absolutely appreciate what the show does for diversity and it being "the story of America yesterday being told by America today." Having said that, I just can't get into it. Although the opening is pretty damn catchy.

I just really hate the guy who plays Hamilton. He sound more like he's participating in a very pretentious poetry slam instead of rapping and his voice is annoying as hell.

[sparrow_lately]

Aw, I find him so endearing. :')

[(Anonymous)]

It took me a while to warm up to his voice, but he's just so darn dedicated and high energy as Hamilton that I ended up really loving him, and now can't imagine anyone else in that role. Even though I'm sure it'll be played by some great actors. Not like I have a chance to see it anytime soon anyway, lol.

[(Anonymous)]

He also looks smug all the time. I can't stand it.

[(Anonymous)]

I much prefer Javier Munoz as Hamilton.

[(Anonymous)]

I hated Hamilton and desperately wanted to leave at the interval but my girlfriend was in love with it. Now the soundtrack is on a constant loop in the house :( :( :(

(on the flip side, I loved Wicked. GF hated it...)

[(Anonymous)]

I took a really quick glance at the picture for this secret and just saw the fluffy hair and thought "Is that Dan and Arin?"

[(Anonymous)]

I'm seeing this in December!! So excited!!!! We managed to get the tickets in the like... two seconds they were on sale.. a few months ago. Which means the tickets weren't stupidly expensive. Yay!!

In all fairness, though, the soundtrack took me a few listens to enjoy. A few songs were always badass, like the opening song, but some of the others are musically meh and I needed to get a sense of the lyrics to really appreciate them.

[(Anonymous)]

I definitely think it's not right to brush it off without at least hearing it.

Like the musical was mostly not for me, there were one or 2 songs I liked but the fact that it felt more like pop music then a musical was where it went wrong for me.

[(Anonymous)]

Er, no. People have a right to decide they don't want to consume a specific book, tv show, movie, whatever. They are not under ANY obligation to try every single piece of media out there just because someone else likes it. For starters, nobody has that amount of time, so everyone everywhere (including you) is already making their own personal call about how they'll spend their time and that is perfectly okay and normal.

[(Anonymous)]

In general I see what you're saying, but this is someone's fiance, and if you're going to be married to someone then it's probably a sign of a good relationship if you give the things they love a chance here and there. You don't have to do it all the time, but doing something for someone else in a relationship can go a long way.

Like this person could just put the soundtrack on while doing something else, it's not even something that has to take time out of their day and if they didn't like it, maybe that would end the conversation? Then they could at least say it for sure and maybe it'd help with OPs frustration.

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, here and there. But it's reasonable to expect that people will retain veto power over what they watch and sometimes it's fine for them to say, "Nah, that doesn't sound like something I'd like" without having to try it first. You don't have to share everything in common in a healthy relationship, and maybe for OP's fiance, this will be one of those things they do not share.

It's just media, it's not life or death.

[(Anonymous)]

I basically agree, I just think if OP makes a secret about it, this may not be something their significant other should veto? It's bothering them enough to post on fandom secrets, so if I knew this person I'd suggest to them they give the soundtrack a listen.

Like yeah, in the end, maybe they'll hate it. But like I said this is not something I think will take up that much of a person's time if they just want to listen to the soundtrack. They don't need to sit down in a crowded movie theater or put all their attention into reading a book, soundtracks are really easy things to listen to while you're cleaning the house or depending on the work you do, you can turn it on there, or during your commute, there's seriously so many times in a day you could try.

[(Anonymous)]

That assumes that people only make secrets about stuff that's really, really bothering them or that's a huge deal. I don't think this is necessarily the case.

And to be honest, even if it was, I still don't agree. Something can be a HUGE deal to you, but it doesn't have to be an equally huge deal to anyone else. I realize this is an unusual idea in fandom, but fandom isn't the end-all of one's existence. You can absolutely survive being in relationships with people who are indifferent to even your favorite fandoms. It's not hard unless you want to make fandom your hill to die on... and that'd be an extremely silly thing to do. OP is right not to push it. Maybe the bf will come around, maybe he won't. But insisting that he needs to give it a chance because OP looooooves it so is more likely to turn him off Hamilton than otherwise.

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt but certainly everyone has the right to have no interest in something, though I would say that you shouldn't say you hate it unless you've given it a try.

[(Anonymous)]

OP didn't say the bf hated Hamilton, OP said the bf hated musicals. And that's fair enough, they're not to everyone's taste. You don't have to try every single musical to confirm that.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm okay with musicals and I like hip hop. Tried it. No thanks.

[(Anonymous)]

Just leave him alone. If he's not interested, he's not interested. Even if there are elements in it that he might have enjoyed previously doesn't mean he'll enjoy this and if he has no urge to see it, what's the big deal? Somehow, you'll find the strength to live on.

[(Anonymous)]

OP, why do you need his approval to just play the music at home? I did, and my SO, who is definitely NOT into hip-hop, casually listened until he wanted to know more about it. Now he's really excited to go when the travelling production comes near us. Sometimes your own enthusiasm can be enough to engender curiosity.

Tl;dr enjoy it and let him catch up instead of restricting yourself.

[(Anonymous)]

If he doesn't like musicals, he doesn't like musicals. Quit trying to push it on him.
