Hamilton musical

So anyone else obsessed with the musical Hamilton. I can't wait for it to come to the UK. I hope Miranda moves to Scotland for a few shows. 

 

A musical about a Scot seeking independence for his new country from Britain. Some amazing songs and full of emotion. I didn't know the full story before this musical https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton_(musical)

 

Some beautiful tracks and undertones of uprising. I hope similar things will be done for the future Scotland founding fathers and mothers

That's a touchingly romantic view of Hamilton's nationality :). "The bástard brat of a Scottish peddler" was John Adams' characterization. Would he even be eligible to play for the national team?

I'm sure it's a good musical, right enough ...

Edit: How prim is this swear filter?

Dad was from Ayrshire so if the basis for nationality is based on the eligibility for a football team then yep he's eligible and therefore Scottish.

I was just musing on whether illegitimacy affects eligibility, but I've just checked and it's 'biological father', and being a child-abandoning ne'er-do-well makes not a jot of difference. So, yes, according to FIFA Hamilton could get a game.

Unfortunately he died 70 years too early.

Saw it on 29th January.  Wow, just wow.  Everything I had hoped for after following for so long.

Saw it at start of February and wasn't expecting too much. When I was told it was a hip hop play about the Founding Fathers, my first thought was "Oh FFS," but it was excellent and far exceeded any expectations I had. The song "no-one else was in the room when it happened" is a helluva show song.
