Hamilton: One Shot to Broadway
13 April 2020
There is no doubt that Hamilton is a smash hit musical. I took my children to see it at London's West End.

I knew a bit about Hamilton the man. They knew the songs to the musical.

This is an overlong superficial documentary. You know it says the same things several times such as Hamilton was a little known figure.

Well I knew about him and I live in Britain. Then it contradicts itself by stating that from all the founding fathers he wrote the most. So there is a lot of evidence of his writings.

It is a documentary with talking heads, archive clips and archive interviews. A bit of a cheap knock off riding on the coattails of the success of the musical. Not much regarding the performances from the musical itself.

Some of the contributors such as Michael Riedel were more interesting, at least they were not all fawning over Lin-Manuel Miranda.
