The pursuit of value across borders

I thought it was just a political show, but the results far exceeded expectations. Facing the actors' different skin tones and a lot of rap, Ben had a kind of unprepared disgust. It wasn't until women's rights were mentioned incidentally in the lyrics that I realized that everything was in our interests. When people of different skin colors finally appear on the Broadway and Hollywood stages, and receive praise from the audience for their abilities and beauty under the lights, maybe we can truly be relieved of our skin color, instead of shouting diversity, turning around and then saying "Remarkable" When people accept actors with different face shapes, heights, and widths as protagonists, and girls with "big faces" can shine with confidence, will we also let go of the Internet? The pursuit of a red face, no longer emphasizing "modifying the face with hairstyle"? It not only spreads multiple aesthetic concepts, but also narrates life quite comprehensively: sometimes struggle, sometimes frustration; sometimes glory, sometimes pain; sometimes betrayal, sometimes looking back... As a musical, while commemorating the founding fathers, it shows respect for the value and beauty of individual life by way of example rather than words. Perhaps it is the charm of its ability to move audiences across national borders. [PS: The application of rap in it is perfect, expanding the content to three times, which is used to express the strong sense of position conflict, and it is intertwined with other gentle lyrical melodies. PPS: As the only harlequin in the show, Joe, who plays King George, is so cute :-D

    Aaron Burr: Alexander, please.

    Alexander Hamilton: Burr, I'd rather be divisive than indecisive. Drop the niceties.

  • Aaron Burr: Life doesn't discriminate, between the sinners and the saints. It takes and it takes and it takes. And we keep on living anyway. We rise and we fall. We fall and we break. And we make our mistakes. And if there's a reason why I'm still alive when so many have died - then I'm willing to... wait for it.
