Thoughts on "Hamilton"

 Been listening to it for a bit lately. Some random thoughts

- it really packs in a lot of history - I mean compare it to, I don't know, Les Mis or something, there is a lot

- very much a two halves story - think if you adapted it into a film it would work as two films because American Revolution is such a self contained story, ditto the sex scandal...

- jeez all the chicks love Hamilton, his wife, mistress, sister in law, he's called a tomcat -wife role is basically "you're never home" and "I got cheated on" but nice songs

- battle of Yorktown song so rousing - a beat to allow cheers for "Immigrants we get the job done" - love the big callback for Felix Mulligan or whoever who I think most people would've forgotten but what a great moment - but it's a fantastic climax which is why it could sustain a film climax

- Jefferson so briliant - George Washington more dull- Lafayette and Burr vivid - the Election of 1800 number is also superb, character driven... it would make a fabulous scene in a film
