A captivating production of the life of Alexander Hamilton. It was emotional and historic. I can see why all the hype. The performers did an amazing job. This play made me want to research more about early American history, if for nothing else to see how historically accurate it is (Pretty accurate, from what do know/remember). Yeah, the King of England is portrayed in the role of an "toxic abusive boyfriend" (my sister's analogy not mine) but he has some of the best songs. I don't think they over glorify the Founding Fathers although they do gloss over some things. However, it is a 2 1/2 hour play that spans a great number of years you have to gloss over some stuff unfortunately.

"This adaptation of the D. H. Lawrence novel examines the relationships between two sisters and their respective romantic partners in post–World War I England. Ken Russell does a fascinating job of exploring themes of jealousy, lust, homosexuality, fidelity, and social class in a challenging and often pointed way. He turns the notion of virtuous love on its head and, in true Russell fashion, throttles the characters and the audience, unflinchingly asking them the deeper questions that we typically dare not even ask ourselves. There are breathtaking locations, arresting cinematography, and a wrestling scene that makes Viggo Mortensen’s nude knife fight in Eastern Promises look tame. As with all Ken Russell movies, be prepared to have this one on your mind for a while after the credits have rolled."
