Haven't heard that, but I'm not on any of the "social media" sites.....but if it's regarding the play Hamilton...not me! I was watching our local PBS station fundraiser .....and it was hawking tickets for the Chicago version along with an auction package for the NY version including airfare to, two nites at posh hotel, meals, yada, yada. But between all that it was showing snippets from play.....I, personally would not want to see it....it is a musical done in rap-style singing, wild company dancing, and very modern little scenery background. In one of the celebrity interviews the writer, producer of this was compared to Shakespeare, in that he took a story line, in this case the book Hamilton by chernow, and wrote the play in the vernacular of the time, Shakespeare/iambic pentameter poetry, and Hamilton/rap! Not in my book, but to each his own....and I understand tickets are sold out til sept....oh, and the auction package went for
$6,200.....so I guess I'm in the minority here.....
