hamilton is not played by a black guy! i was referring to Thomas Jefferson played by the (honestly very talented ) davved diggs. theres a scene where he comes in and the slaves are cleaning the floors then they start dancing with him, https://youtu.be/hruG4iDSQAI?si=a4WUZf7zXwQFRq_7. and he even says "be a lamb sally", sally his 14 year old victim. hamilton also raps, hamilton is played by a puerto rican man.

dude i know the whole thing by heart I was a theater/model un kid in highschool, no I am not ok. I had the cd. its the most cringe thing about teen me. i have so much Hamilton facts in my brain its not even funny, ALL of my (ex) friends love Hamilton, and yes the black kids also loved Hamilton but it was an preforming arts school we were not normal, also the black kids wanted more parts and thought this was a great way for them to get more start role once they totally make it to Broadway one day. none if them are on Broadway. i am a cursed being.

I got put in the worst role in theatre plays all the time for being ND and mocked the NT kids for forgetting their lines and generally fumbling up while I said the single line I had perfectly, it didn't help with being a people's person

luckily i got in to the school for poetry. and then i really got into stagecraft and building things.. until they cut our funding, and then they just stopped having cool sets. i was a behind the scenes kid. i did costuming, and stage makeup too.
