[@-mafuyufachera-2481]

@@xxliew Yes! In my opinion, I like In The Heights better than Hamilton, I love Hamilton, but the Fandom just ruined it for me, plus, to me ITH has more creative liberty since it’s just a story

[@lailahbezan4833]

@@xxliew It has more relatable and lovable characters/ stories, while Hamilton is based on founding fathers, some being slave owners etc, etc. Their lives only became interesting because of Lin's music and the emotion he put himself. And most of the whole thing is Hamilton whining about his legacy, while it is relatable to want to leave a good legacy, he was so selfish. Usnavi is the real mvp

Lin-Manuel Miranda hizo por el rap, el hip-hop y el trap lo que George Gerschwin hizo por el jazz y los musicales un siglo antes: tomó géneros musicales mainstream y populares y los elevó a la categoría de arte mayor. La mezcla de géneros quedó alucinante. Aquí hay rap, hip-hop, raíces caribeñas, comedia musical clásica y hasta reggaetón. Lin ya era un genio antes de Hamilton.
