>How can people watch this tacky shit?
People tend to find tacky shit more palatable in an already ridiculous form like a musical.
>Also where does theater belong?
Musical theater is generally /mu/, though I doubt a ballet discussion would amount to much there. Straight plays tend to go here. Something like Hamilton also gets brought up on /his/ from time to time.

I haven't read that, but here's Barack on TS Eliot:

'I haven’t read “The Waste Land” for a year, and I never did bother to check all the footnotes. But I will hazard these statements—Eliot contains the same ecstatic vision which runs from Münzer to Yeats. However, he retains a grounding in the social reality/order of his time.

Facing what he perceives as a choice between ecstatic chaos and lifeless mechanistic order, he accedes to maintaining a separation of asexual purity and brutal sexual reality. And he wears a stoical face before this. Read his essay on Tradition and the Individual Talent, as well as Four Quartets, when he’s less concerned with depicting moribund Europe, to catch a sense of what I speak.

Remember how I said there’s a certain kind of conservatism which I respect more than bourgeois liberalism—Eliot is of this type. Of course, the dichotomy he maintains is reactionary, but it’s due to a deep fatalism, not ignorance. (Counter him with Yeats or Pound, who, arising from the same milieu, opted to support Hitler and Mussolini.)

And this fatalism is born out of the relation between fertility and death, which I touched on in my last letter—life feeds on itself. A fatalism I share with the western tradition at times. You seem surprised at Eliot’s irreconcilable ambivalence; don’t you share this ambivalence yourself, Alex?'

Hamilton is the type of trash that makes me embarrassed to be an american. Like people always point to something like walmart arranging soda cans into an american flag as tacky, but at least that shit has no pretense about its tackyness. This trite garbage of gay nigger rapping about our founding fathers is much worse in my eyes since it is pretentious in the truest sense of the word. Its history for people who hate history. Its a school house rock cartoon, but instead of for children, its for grown adults who are too retarded to actually learn anything unless its a focus group, diverse, and hip mush for them to consume. I look at this in the same way I can only imagine a scholar of religion looks at christian rock.

While I agree, in a sense, sometimes people don't have the time to devote a lifetime of study to a particular subject. And, while I dislike Hamilton, there can be good things that come from a sort of "pop-history" so to speak.

Much of my issue with Hamilton is he's been turned into some sort of minority SJW Socialist icon because that's what Lin-Manuel's gay ass parades himself around as. Hamilton most certainly was not.

Well for starters he was an unabashed elitist who liked big banks, mistrusted the masses, called for a monarchal presidency, and wanted a Senate that served for life.

Hell, that black lady professor at Harvard was quoted saying, "If the cast were white do you really think this thing would be getting the praise it's getting?"

It's just not an accurate historical portrait. Miranda picked Hamilton because he was a founding father who came to America as an "immigrant." He literally wrote it to capitalize on the issue of the day and introduce his own political commentary. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against artists doing that. In fact, I'm for it. The problem is that it's received alarmingly little criticism. The bigger problem is we all know why.

Sure, YOU can. God knows not everyone is as well versed and cultured and a learned man such as yourself.

Soccer mom or children or grandparents or whomever likes going to the theater as a special date night or whatever. People who traditionally wouldn't sit up at 2 am watching some YouTube doc on Alexander Hamilton.

Un truth, historically, you and I are the weird ones. Theater has been how many of the masses initially learned about things since time immemorial.

The goal with any sort of pop history is to get people to go home and become interested in the subject and hopefully do more research and learning on their own. Same with any statue in a public place. Same with any art really.

I'll admit, I still don't quite understand how people take Hamilton seriously. I've seen it, and it is a parody of '90s children's television. It is literally like watching one of those shows where a bunch of mixed race kids all come together harmoniously to teach us about history through the engaging magic of rapping. I also don't understand how it's made people more sympathetic to Hamilton. He does not come off well, in my opinion.

Hamilton was a wannabe aristocrat and America literally has the bill of right to safe guard against his tyrannical bullshit to the point that he actively fought against including them in our constitution. I know this is paranoid of me, but this comes across as some sort of new world order tier shilling of more and more centralized authority of elitist who "know whats good for you" under the mask of "DUDE DIVERSITY LMAO!" so you cant criticize it at all. A very cynicle and useful idiot type of production that looks at millennial normies who are basically cartoon characters from a bud light commercial at this point and sells them 1984, but paints it over with smiling brown people dancing so they think "whoa! this looks great!" It jumps beyond simple bad history and goes right into weirdo political manipulation

Still not as bad as what's been done to Francis Scott Key

>Key publicly criticized slavery's cruelties, so much that after his death a newspaper editorial stated "So actively hostile was he to the peculiar institution that he was called 'The Nigger Lawyer' .... because he often volunteered to defend the downtrodden sons and daughters of Africa. Mr. Key convinced me that slavery was wrong—radically wrong."[20]

He had a relationship with a slave he inherited from his wife's family who was 1/8 black who also happened to be his sister-in-law and look a lot like his deceased wife. She also traveled with him to Europe where she lived as a free woman but decided to come back with Jefferson on the condition that all of the children they had together would be born free whites, which they were.

>I am 100% positive that Barrack Obama is smarter than any one person who ever posted on 4chan.

I think Barack Obama is smart but I don't think that statement is true. There are a lot of smart / highly autistic dudes that have posted on 4chan.

Sure they might not have social intelligence/awareness...

Its pretty clear you've watched or read behind the scenes shit from the play while never actually reading anything historical about Jefferson. He was very quite and kept to himself and was big into philsophy, so showing him as a showboat and loud mouth is just fucking retarded to anyone with any sort of understanding of history

Listened to the Soundtrack, liked it. Not a fan of media glorifying the US Founding Fathers, but it was a tight concept album, that told a pretty good story, using rap conventions in a clever way.
Watched about five minutes of the stage musical online, couldn't stand to watch anymore, as it was too fucking boring.

unfortunately I've been trained to look for semantic accuracy
could you explain what you said without using contemporary jargon?

Theatre belongs on /lit/ more than /tv/, not all plays are televised but all plays were initially written and to be read.

Never seen Hamilton so I can't have an opinion on it but I'm a sucker for musicals (the good ones) but most stage musicals are in some way tacky. Most theatres will show musicals significantly more than actual plays because it brings in the largest amount of revenue. Les Miserables still opens to sold out audience but barely anyone has read the book; Sister Act is playing in the UK with a cast of has-beens from singing competition programmes, etc etc. It's something that's here to stay. There is a literal Shrek The Musical. There was a Lord of the Rings Musical in London that was one of the most expensive stage productions of all time.

La La Land was good. One day I will write a Ben-Hur musical.
