I have not watched Hamilton becuase, honestly, I'm being an asshole. I BELIEVE you all that it's amazing.

asshole me:
- Don't like musicals
- DOn't like Disney

that sums it up. Yes I can be persuaded, I'm admitting I'm an asshole.

It's the "I don't like Disney" crowd that I think Disney is appealing to with Disney+. Since all the "I like Disney" people already have it. -- nm - Mop Jul 5, 20:17
I really want to see it, but Disney+ doesn't stream on tivo. -- nm - jnine Jul 5, 19:42

You're the type of person who says cut all the singing & dancing out of South Pacific, and you'll have a great WWII picture. - Peglegpete Jul 5, 19:09
I'm curious because of the hype, have been since I first heard of Hamilton. But generally not a big stage musical person. - Marlowe Jul 5, 19:06
Eh, than don't see it. -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 19:02
I've never seen it, and I don't want D+, but yesterday my sis and BiL insisted I watch some of it on their new 4K TV... - howie Jul 5, 19:02
I am not a very good homo. I am wishy-washy on my like of musicals. Muppet Treasure Island, awesome! Rocketman, meh. -- nm - Qale Jul 5, 18:57 2

MrsJax was watching it this morning while I slept in. I heard some of it, thought it was stupid, and went back to sleep. - JaxSean Jul 5, 18:40
I like very few musicals. I will watch it at some point. I’m not interested in another service - Epiphany Jul 5, 18:31
I generally don't like musical movies but don't mind stage musicals. - Cuzzin Todd Jul 5, 18:29
It's a musical. A unique and exquisitely done musical, but a musical. -- nm - ty97 Jul 5, 18:22
you can get D+ for a month, watch it and binge some other stuff and then drop it. -- nm - Remlik Jul 5, 18:22
If you’ve listened to the cast recording and are still “eh,” maybe it’s not for you. And if you haven’t, I’d say do that first. -- nm - Mara Jul 5, 18:16 1
- I have NOT listened. Issues and being an asshole! -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 19:55
I'm not watching 95% because I want to see the live show first, and 5% because I don't need another streaming service. haven't listened to the cast - mafic Jul 5, 18:15 8
- I enjoyed the cast recording to some extent, but found it hard to really enjoy it because I couldn’t see what was going on. Now that I’ve seen it, I’m - Herkellys Mulligan Jul 5, 19:11
- you have a kid! get Disney!! -- nm - Beaker Jul 5, 18:16 6
  - I have 8 nieces and nephews, I will testify, not a single one gives a flying fuck about Disney. For real. -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 20:00
  - she's not even 2 and doesn't care about TV at all! -- nm - mafic Jul 5, 18:16 4
    - keep it that way for as long as possible -- nm - prayformojo Jul 5, 18:19 1
      - yeah. that's kind of the plan, inasmuch as we have a plan. she only really likes watching videos of people she knows. - mafic Jul 5, 18:30
    - she's just busy watching out for poisonous things! -- nm - Beaker Jul 5, 18:18 1
      - CONSTANT VIGILANCE -- nm - mafic Jul 5, 18:31
I want to watch it but so far not enough to sign up for Disney+. If I could have bought or rented, I would have watched it this weekend. -- nm - Dano Jul 5, 18:13 4
- Same. -- nm - Max Jul 5, 18:41
- I think I am in the same place as you. I am very intrigued because so many people love it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 18:14 2
  - The Disney/Hulu bundle got me closer to signing up, but not quite. -- nm - Dano Jul 5, 18:19 1
    - It comes down to in the end I don’t even watch things I want to watch on the streaming services I have. I more should drop one than add one. -- nm - Dano Jul 5, 18:22
my wife *hates* musicals, but I've wrangled a commitment to see the live show out of her. now I just need the Australian tour to go ahead. -- nm - mafic Jul 5, 18:12
I love musicals and Disney; wondered what the hype was about; was worried, but it was still amazing. Wife and 13 and 16 year old loved it too -- nm - Beaker Jul 5, 18:11
Disney has nothing to do with it other than buying the rights. -- nm - David Jul 5, 18:11 7
- it's on d+, that bothers me -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 18:11 2
  - one month is half the price of a movie theater ticket. get it for a month, watch hamilton, and cancel -- nm - prayformojo Jul 5, 18:20 1
    - and binge the Mandalorian. is there anything else new (and good) on there? -- nm - mafic Jul 5, 19:01
- And having to pay them to watch it -- nm - Beryllium Jul 5, 18:11 3
  - I feel I need to clarify. I flew in and out of Orlando more than ten years ago. My friends physically dragged me into the Disney store. - loosilu Jul 5, 18:14 2
    - Sounds like you've got some... issues there. -- nm - Mop Jul 5, 20:18 1
