The show is also peppered with references to real hip-hop history and even modern TV shows like The West Wing. It goes without saying that the style and vernacular of the show is deliberately anachronistic-the soundtrack draws heavily on hip-hop, R&B, pop and other musical genres that were not around in the Revolutionary era, and the characters speak in modern parlance, although their costumes are period-accurate. If you're one of the many, many people who flocked to Disney+ this July 4 weekend to watch the original Broadway production of Hamilton recreated onscreen, A) congrats, you're probably still on a high from the sheer joy of that experience, and B) you may be wondering just how much artistic license the show took with American history. ![]()
