What I did this Independence Day ~ Jean C. Gordon

To celebrate Independence Day, my husband and I subscribed to Disney+ and streamed HAMILTON. If you know how much of a history buff I am, this probably doesn't surprise you. What you might not know is that neither my husband nor or I are fans of musicals in general.

So what was our verdict? The singing and choreography was wonderful. But ... you knew there was a but, didn't you ... both of us agreed it would have been even better if some of the play dialog had been spoken. (Everyone is entitled to their opinion.) 

I also questioned the veracity of the portrayal of Hamilton's wife Eliza and her sister Angelica. You see, my husband and I have toured the Schuyler Mansion Historical Site 20 minutes away in Albany. If my memory serves me correctly, the room pictured below may have been the room Hamilton and Eliza were married in. (My phone photos aren't labeled.)

Of course, I had to go online and look up things. And I came across this interesting to me Fact Check of HAMILTON. I wouldn't read it if you haven't seen the play and plan to.
