Despite the fact that " Sources who attended the workshop say he’s made the show tougher and more adult than the kiddie film," (but what does that mean?) there's still going to be a whole lot of those drastic inaccuracies that, despite the fact I am an avid reader of books on Imperial Russia, gives Hamilton the upper hand IMHO. For the purpose of illustrating that, I have decided to think this up: What would happen if Hamilton was Anastasia? a song-by-song horror story
1. Hamilton would have amnesia and the delusion that he was some long-lost prince. Thus, he would not spend his time writing in New York but finding some hot girl who would help him find his supposed parents. The the truth hits because he's actually the "bastard, orphan, son of a (view spoiler)[whore (hide spoiler)] and a scotsman." Somehow, by one of the many logic holes, Hamilton does end up in politics, where he can meet our newly archetyped villain(s?)
2.Everyone in New York would start singing a song called "A rumor in New Amsterdam," like "A rumor in St. Petersburg," using a more poetic former name of the city and bringing on the first few historical inaccuracies for the sake of the poetry in the song. Not only that, they would do it like some demented eighteenth-century flashmob, but since this is a hip-hop musical(?) they would break dance too.
3. they would skip the number where Hamilton gives his big intense speech thingy and have him stand around in the snow dreaming about finding his past.
4. Rather than singing the gorgeous "Wait for it," Burr would sing about destroying Hamilton for no apparent reason, backed up by a chorus of dancing bugs, not to mention his talking bat.
wait, did we skip the American Revolution? Never mind that, it's too violent for kids. (Anastasia totally glosses over both the Russian revolution and that little skirmish known as World War I
Anyhow, the purpose of this was to show that people sort of ignore the historical inaccuracies in Anastasia because it's another country, but if our own history were tampered with it in such a way, it would be ridiculous. Not to mention the fact that history should be a bout realistic people, not stereotypes and archetypes. I may need help presenting this better.
