Are portrayed in the musical were living people. They all had good sides and bad sides and pros and cons to their personality. The musical make it so that you understand who these people were. And i know theres a lot of conversation about, well, theres a latino man playing hamilton and an africanamerican playing George Washington. Okay. Thats just part of the conversation.
