Two things on Hamilton:
1. The music of Hamilton won't become dated anytime soon -- the music of Hair, Chicago, or just about anything ALW has done have not hurt their respective shows over time. Remember too that revivals often rearrange & reorchestrate scores to update their sounds.
But the politics of Hamilton might. It seems relevant and contemporary to us because there are recognizably relevant and contemporary issues interwoven throughout

1. I cannot stand Phantom of the Opera. Seen it 3 times, fell asleep each time.
2. I really like The Rothschilds.
3. The Producers was funny but musically-bland, and basically took all the best material from the movie and pushed it over the top.
4. I loved RENT when it came out but now I find it virtually unwatchable, especially Act II.
5. Sondheim's best was A Little Night Music.
6. Hamilton hate is more irritating than Hamilton fandom.
