President Trump’s takeover of the Kennedy Center is already paying massive cultural dividends.
Producers of the Broadway musical “Hamilton” are canceling plans to perform at the Kennedy Center in Washington next year, pointing to President Trump’s “takeover” of the Washington, D.C., institution… the third iteration of “Hamilton” at the Kennedy Center, scheduled for March 3-April 26, was canceled.
The third iteration. Need I say more?
This novelty act has been running for ten years when it should have had a three-week off-Broadway run followed by being forgotten by everyone involved. The notion that Hamilton was brilliant was thoroughly disproven not only by objective good taste and standards, but by Lin Manuel-Miranda’s subsequent career.
Hamilton was the last gasp of Obama’s cultural moment that stuck around because the theater world these days consists of turning every Hollywood property into a stage production. Everything from Sunset Boulevard to Back to the Future is now a musical. Revivals of classic musicals are so horrendously woke no one can stand them. And original theater usually consists of stuff so bizarrely narcissistic that it has a niche audience.
So Hamilton sticks around. Unlike The Producers, the previous winner for a gimmick musical that refused to go away because of Manhattan tastemakers, it isn’t any fun and there’s no reason for any functioning non-D.C. or Manhattanite to go see it a second time. Having Hamilton leaves D.C. abandons its core audience.
And helps put an end to the 10-year nightmare.
Hmm. Exactly how many Tony Awards have you won sir?
If “Hamilton” won some Tony Awards, Tony wants his name back. I saw a clip of that shit on Jack Posobiec’s TV show and he said what I was thinking: “I thought I was watching satire.”
No doubt you’ll explain why the play was and is so popular. Let me guess, all the reports of sold out shows were .
Or maybe some variation of “only dorks watch it. “
I am certain you would enjoy a play
about how you are a racist, a bigot, a Nazi, a murderer, a rapist,
and you should be murdered,
and your family should be treated the way the KKK treated black Americans during reconstruction.
I’m sure you would love it, and you would love the audiences that hate your guts and think you should die.
G-d love ya’
I wasn’t there when Trump made this wonderful decision.
What I DO know is that Trump, unlike Hamilton, was raised by his parents …..unlike Hamilton….. the bastardy of whom is what the Blacks found SO SO VERY appealing 😉
I suspect there were no n-words in the room where it happened. 😆
“The View” is popular in some circles too but only hags watch it. And trannies like you. So who do you dress as, Whoopie Groidberg or Joy Behemoth?
Almost as many as you.
“Bizarrely narcissistic” The only thing bizarrely narcissistic is the audience.
More like “masochistic.”
What is sad is how many yung people were enthused about Hamilton. I refused to take young relatives to see Hamilton.
I heard the music and that was more than enough for me.
Many consumers clearly disagree with you. I’m not a theater guy but found the play very entertaining and the lyrics creative.
You probably say the same thing about Sesame Street songs. Did that left-wing rag, the Wall Street Journal, give “Hamilton” a good review?
Thank you for calling the Wall Street Journal “a left-wing rag” so that others can realize how desperate you are.
We’re still waiting for you to answer the straightforward question: do more people read the WSJ or Frontpagemag?
You’re the genius who said tariffs are not meant to raise prices. If you bothered to learn some economics–maybe by reading the WSJ–you’d understand that assertion is even dumber than the one about the WSJ being left wing.
Please, repeat it here: the stock market is rigged according to you, correct?
Guess who just agreed to make a presentation about the impacts of tariffs? You won’t mind me using your statements so I can give evidence of widespread economic illiteracy, right?
Do you think you’re hiding anything with the cap?
Impact of tariffs lower taxes. Often they are absorbed or don’t raise prices, but sour the profits of the producers Richard. Numerous articles that can be read on the subject, even by snooty know it alls that presume they actually know what they are talking about.
I think you’ve been consuming too much crack. Put the pipe down, whack-job.
“The Wall Street Journal can be said to have a conservative slant politically. Still, it also makes a considerable effort to publish fair, balanced, and intelligent stories about politics. This conservatism is primarily found on the opinion-editorial pages.”
No, listen to Jeff, it is a “left-.wing rag.”
The Wall Street Journal is steadily losing subscribers. The Disney Groomer Channel has more.
Larry David had a fatwa on him and the only way he could get some sleep was watching Hamilton. That say’s it all right there. Barbie was another good movie (after half a dozen Melatonin).
Full disclosure: I have not seen “Hamilton”. Is there even a movie?
All I know is that I NEVER look to Hollywood or Broadway for factual, historical stories. If a movie is or was produced I’m not seeing it. All I need to know (a radio host said this) is that the only white cast member plays King George III….
you know, the bad guy.
Lin used the same music for Westside Story. Dancing and stuff. Just go see it if you don’t want to pay for a play. Although it has the actual history of our country. The founders were all black and society was woke. Hamilton’s wife and his father in-law were white if you look hard at the Schuyler’s portraits.
Good. Maybe the Kennedy center could run some classics.
And you don’t even have to run Shakespeare or operas.
16th and 17th century French comedies are hilarious.
And quite risque considering they’re 300+ years old.
Trump should send a coded message to artsy fartsy PC lefties by pressuring the Kennedy Center to run Yiddish Theater.
