#1 - Can We Get Back to Politics?
This episode, hosts Katie and Georgia take a break from CreComm to discuss Hamilton: An American Musical. You know we weren’t going to miss our shot to talk about the most popular political musical of all time right after the US presidential election. How lucky we are to be alive right now!
Especially since its Disney+ release in July, Hamilton has taken some non-stop heat and this episode covers all of it. Also, spoiler alert, obviously. If you don’t know how this one ends, you should maybe crack a history book. But we’re not going to make you wait for it, so here’s the story of tonight:
American idealism in the Obama vs. Trump era (8:00)
Historical accuracy (14:40)
Why Georgia hates “Say No to This” (20:42)
Feminism (24:00)
Diverse casting (27:25)
Who tells your story (30:36)
If Broadway can be radical (40:26)
How the show functions now (47:18)
Our favourites from the OBC (50:19)
So take a break from doom-scrolling and join us in the room where it happens. See you on the other side of the war.
