Most of your comments seem to be misinformed which makes me believe that Hamilton is not inaccurate in the ways you believe.

I don't know what you want from a drama. It's a piece of art that speaks broadly to hard work, patriotism (true patriotism, not flag-waving) , and love and loss while telling a story based on an imperfect man and the founding of our country. Its a story about a time of intense racism and slavery told by a diverse cast, which is pretty powerful.
Everyone gets to have their own opinion, and you're allowed to not like it, but I hope you watch it again with an open mind and give it a fair chance.

Here’s a conundrum for you: I have indeed watched the show, yet I still made that comment.
You may have already said, but have you actually seen Hamilton?

I don’t want you to copy and paste a list you found on a website. I asked you what parts of the musical you have a problem with.

YES!
VERY DIFFERENT! Most people from PR find it VERY offensive to be called an immigrant.

I apologize for implying that. Puerto Ricans are Americans. That's why I'm saying it's the same as Hamilton's history.
But yes you're right.

Now I definitely want Lin Manuel Miranda to write the next iteration of The Hall of Presidents. Hamilton is also clearly the greatest work of musical theater to have ever graced the stage.

In the words of Charles Emerson Winchester, "sir, I am so conservative that I make you look like a New Dealer," yet I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about when you claim that there's political bias in Hamilton. No, it's not historically precise, but the inaccuracies are for dramatic purposes, not political ones.

Hamilton is, for my money, as patriotic as The American Adventure or Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. And again, I don't think I agree with Lin-Manuel Miranda on a single political issue.
Give "One Last Time" a listen again.

Not for nothing, but LMM himself has said that Hamilton's story intrigued him as an immigrant story, as it reminded him about his father's travails in coming from Puerto Rico.

Interesting, because more or less- the people I know would generally say almost the opposite. Because people from PR are often fluent in Spanish, they get mistaken for immigrants, so they get tired of having to explain that they are proudly AMERICAN.
In the past few years, obviously, PR has been hard hit economically.
Previously, it was normal (and very important) for folks from PR to regularly travel back and forth for summer vacations, to visit family, to keep their culture and identity.

Will be interesting to see where 45 is "relocated" to in the group of other presidents. Back row? Middle? Off to the side?

This is why there has been talk to create a show that isn't dependant on the current president, like it was in the past, and all they would have to do is add a single figure in the crowd somewhere. That's what I expect to see happen.

The three times my husband and I have taken our kids in the last 15 years, not once has the HOP been open. Last (only) time I saw it was in '87. Idc when they add 46, I just hope DH and kids can finally see the attraction from the inside come March. But, since our vaca is IN March, I'm not gonna hold my breath, either. *sigh*

Earlier, I looked up the Trump HOP images because I had forgotten the rumor that they retrofitted a Hillary model to be Trump. Damn that thing is horrifying. I completely believe the rumor on that one.Well now that Joe is in there we know they will keep the attraction as is and let Joe have his turn.... Having said that it makes me think, now they will close HOP to do the work, but here’s the thing, do they wait a few months in case Kamala is put in place? They don’t want to do like they did before and assume it was going to be Hillary and then have to switch gears again
To the right of Nixon and Jackson?

You think they'll keep it open?
