Viewpoint one: the new american musical, hamilton is a play that is not to be missed. hamilton tells the story of america's "forgotten" founding father, alexander hamilton, through the lense of hip-hop culture. broadway has never seen a play quite like this before. you have not lived until you've seen a rapping cabinet battle. i highly suggest you save up your pennies for a night at the theater that you'll never forget! viewpoint two: critics and audiences are raving about the new broadway musical, hamilton, but i need to speak up for the minority opinion: this musical is over-rated. if you like rap or hip-hop, then the show might appeal to you. personally, though, i found the portrayal of great men like george washington and thomas jefferson using street slang and improper grammar tedious and offensive. which best expresses the difference between these two viewpoints?
