Hamilton was In The Heights set to American history. I greatly respect both shows, OK, fine. So what next? Do you repeat the hip hop musical format ad nauseum?
That's part of what I mean about the lack of discipline.
That and way too many lines that sound good and make absolutely no fucking sense whatsoever. It ATCQ, Faithless, Jurassic 5, J Dilla, De La Soul and even Ren Gill of all people can write clever lyrics without resorting to no-context non-sequiturs, then what the fuck is holding Miranda back?

I'm getting a little tired of the Millennial hero story of making their parents apologize for being meanies.
Beats the Menendez Solution.

I'm just afraid they will fuck with West Side Story even more than Spielberg did.
I met a transgender named Maria...
Well, it's based on Romeo and Juliet, and Shakespeare's plays frequently got pretty gender-fluid due to the shortage of female actors. There'd often be a male actor impersonating a female impersonating a male - it's a running joke

Similar history with Chinese classical opera at one point. Some opera companies were all-male (so female roles were played by male actors) and considered having a female in the company "shameful."

I’m surprised that hasn’t caused more outrage… I think I would wind becoming a viral sensation if I had taken my little girl to get princessed up and had this guy guy come out in a dress…
I thought “passing” was supposed to be an important goal?

Imagine going back in time 60 years and showing Walt that video…

Somewhat related... yesterday at the pool there were 3 kids, don't know... maybe ages 9 or 10. One kid kept saying, and what I presume was a joke, "hey you're misgendering me! you're misgendering me!". She was clearly a girl, but still... sad to hear such a phrase from such a young kid.
