“The 10-dollar founding father” is on...the $20 bill? Unexpected inflation?
Nope. Hamilton is on the $10. Jackson is on the $20.

I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to follow the rap music, but only about 20% of the score is rap. And most of it is slow enough for any listener to follow IMO. Though rap is featured in trailers and excerpts, much of the music isn’t that unconventional.I saw Hamilton live on stage last year and loved it.
Beforehand, I was worried about the pace of the rap music. We borrowed a CD of the music and found the lyrics online. Listening to the music while reading the lyrics in advance really helped me follow the songs when we saw the show.
I signed up for one month of Disney+ so I could watch the musical, but I figured I would check out the rest of their library while I have the month’s subscription. I browsed through the entire catalogue and literally could not find one other show I wanted to watch.
If you have kids I’m sure it’s great to have all the Disney classics for them. But for adults unless you like the Star Wars or Marvel stuff it seems like it’s not the right audience for us.
Is there anything in the Disney collection that would appeal to adults that I overlooked?

Yeah...you might reply to the person who doesn’t know that.
I watched it last night with closed captioning on, which is helpful since the dialogue moves quickly.
Well worth watching IMO. I’ll probably watch it again with DS/DD.

Good idea. We watched it last night. I found Elizabeth Hamilton (Eliza) interesting. She lived to 97, unusual for that time. She birthed 8 children and these facts:If you read through an explanation of each song on Wikipedia you really get a lot of insight into the subtle things going on. The level of attention to detail is really amazing.
We should really push the $2 bill and put John Bogle's picture on it. My 2¢. Err.... $2.
Back to the musical... Is it on DVD?
And then I went right to Wikipedia to check the historical accuracy.
Be careful using Wikipedia as a primary source of information. Most of it is crowd sourced and inaccurate information can remain for a long time and sometimes isn't corrected.

https://www.legalmorning.com/how-reliable-is-wikipedia/Even though Wikipedia’s guidelines for page creation and content changes are rather strict, they will still encourage you to use it with some caution. It is not meant to be the defining source for any one entity, but it does work well as a starting point, particularly for academic research. The way information and the website itself evolve is naturally going to lead to some general errors. But, for this interested merely in learning about something, Wikipedia provides some of the easiest access to information that you can imagine. With their requirement of reliable sources, they’ve also got a wealth of scholarly knowledge that’s often just a click away.
So, is Wikipedia reliable or is it all just a ruse? In theory, Wikipedia is closer to being reliable than it is anything else. Of course, you are always bound to come upon an entry that is un-sourced and is clearly spouting lies, but the benefit of Wikipedia is that that kind of information can be deleted with relative quickness. With any print publications, errors are only made known when the next issue is released. So, even though Wikipedia might be edited by a conglomerate of individuals who don’t have the expertise of some scholars, it still manages to be one of the most reliable resources on the planet.
Maybe. I looked up the lyrics instead of using Wikipedia. Brilliant writing. Specifically the lyrics from Congress #1 and Congress #2. Reading the songs had a bigger impact than listening to the rap.Be careful using Wikipedia as a primary source of information.

Thanks. I believe it's a little less than perfect but generally reliable & certainly is a broader source of subjects to start with than anything close.They are crowd sourced but that doesn’t mean anyone can publish whatever they want.
Having written a very carefully researched page for Wikipedia, I can tell you they go to great lengths to try to prevent inaccuracies, copyright infractions, etc. Any claims made must be supported by a solid source, that’s why there are always many footnote references on every page. They don’t give the benefit of the doubt, if you’re source isn’t solid, they quickly strike the claim or the whole page.
If you don’t believe it, try to publish a deliberately false wiki page and see what happens - you won’t get far.
They’re not perfect but they’re a more accurate source of information than many sites on the internet. And it’s always wise to double check most information from anywhere online.

+1. I’d seen it and loved it with DW twice, but we watched it with captions on the third time and we both picked up on a few minor but worthwhile story elements we’d missed in the first two viewings. Still my second favorite play of all time.I have had a great time watching it on my laptop with the captions on. I am on my second month of Disney + because I am not tired of it yet.
