A study found that Hamilton's gunshot wound was self-inflicted

Crazy. Read to the end - this could change everything. Lin might have to do some re-writing!

I also like how they don't make it too obvious. Very nicely done.

I think more of the latter. Or maybe........maybe he wants to write an entirely new version based on these findings.

"Hamilton 2: Back In The Habit Of Gun Duels"

It's not satire at all.

Yea. It doesn't really register to me as satire either. It's just silly. The reveal made me giggle. I guess I was just surprised because I usually detest these jokes. The bar is low.

Must remember to avoid BWW today, almost forgot.

I long for the days of Bill Clinton joining the Chicago cast.

Trump to play Roxie.

Well, I found that "research" funny. It didn't harm anyone and provided amusement. Nothing wrong with that.

Tell me where I said that a blue eyed, white skinned man can that shot himself can not be played by an actor of color who, in the story, is shot by someone else?



The creative team can do whatever they like. I am just saying it's not realistic, but you are right, it doesn't have to be. Theatre is a triumph of the fantasy.

That's the point, creative freedom, no matter what.

After I did a fake April Fool story on a discussion board many years ago, and people wound up threatening to sue because my story disrespected the Confederate flag, I am VERY leery of April Fool jokes. Nonetheless, I thought the Hamilton story was very clever, and I COMPLETELY bought it. I kept wondering why ALW would say that he should send the findings to the Tony committee, and why ALW was interested in the founding fathers in the first place.

I have a question for the writer: Is ANY of it true, such as the idea that the seconds have to file a report? Well played, BWW!
