I enjoy musicals to, so being a fan of “1776” I got giddy when “Hamilton” gave that nod.PurpleThrobber said:
Lin-Manual Miranda has a brief homage to that video title if you're paying attention in "The Adams Administration" Hamilton tune. Fat motherfucker is a nice touch.Doog_de_Jour said:

I enjoyed “Hamilton” a lot, and it has generated a renewed interest in the Founding Fathers and that era of American history - but like so many creative works “based on a true story” it takes some liberties (ISWYDT) with the facts and unfortunately there’s a whole generation of kids with rather skewed perceptions of Hamilton, Adams, and Jefferson.

People also forget most of The Sound of Music is complete fiction. The Von Trapps never escaped over the Alps on foot. They left by train.

Imagine trying to pass a stealth fart in there.DawgsCanDance said:The original congress meeting room is amazing from a construction standpoint... the way they designed the dome it is possible to sit in one end of the room and be clearly heard even speaking in low tones on the other side of the room. Its an eerie sensation to experience the acoustics.
