15: Hamilton (2020)

Hamilton. Need we say more?

We were excited to see it live, and we were just as excited to watch it on TV. Hamilton is one of our favorite shows. We know the words to every song. But does the experience hold up on the small screen? And how will this streaming event influence the uncertain future of musical theater?

We also activate our brand new Disney+ Randomizer for the first time to find out what we're watching next. HINT: Lightning.
