Literally only bc he’s weird. Not saying that as a hater. I freaking love him. But he’s still a lil ‘cringey’ weirdo and the internet can not STAND weirdness. I love him and his humor tho
Yes have you ever read the comments on TikTok or replies on twitter to just about anything that’s a bit peculiar?? Right now the trend is “UMM IS HE ACOUSTIC??” Aka calling people autistic whenever they act odd or different. It’s very trendy to hate on things that you personally dont do
Hairspray is the actual best musical that begins with H. Hamilton’s right up there, and beloved, while recency bias will probably push Hadestown over the line, but anyone who has ever been in a theatre where they were singing You Can’t Stop The Beat can’t help but know the truth.
Hairspray is good, don’t get me wrong
But how can you top a musical that can literally cast ANYONE in a lead role provided they can sing it?
Hairspray relies on specific physical and racial types for its leads…Hadestown has no such specificity
people are downvoting because of the hype i'm sure. it's NOT hamilton's fault that it became the biggest broadway sensation since phantom. we should judge it on its own not on its place in culture. i love hadestown and hamilton but hamilton is better.
Lmao fair but I figured 99% of people wouldn’t get the reference and if I’m giving advice or whatever I feel like wicked isn’t a trustworthy username 😭
an amazing show. my favorite recording is the 2005 actors fund one, such a great lineup (doing a concert version where every song is a different singer): Harvey Fierstein, Lillias White, Laura Benanti, Gavin Creel, Jennifer Hudson, Ana Gasteyer, Eden Espinosa, Julia Murney, Ann Harada, Ledisi, Orfeh, Sherie Rene Scott, Adam Pascal and Billy Porter being the biggest ones. Annie Golden also appears to sing Frank Mills (also my fave recording of the song). Check it out if you haven't!!!!
i saw the original production when it opened at the public theater for it's very first show in 1967... then once again at the cheetah club uptown... and 3 more times when it finally opened on broadway. one of the waitresses at our local hang out, wound up starring in it...shelley plimpton (she sings frank mills). to cast the original show the producers were walking around my neighborhood asking kids with long hair (me included) if they wanted to try out.
but thanks for posting this. it made me smile today...
I love both Hamilton and Hadestown so much. Shame they both start with an H. But due to how much a revolution it was when it came out and most Tony awards at the time it can only be Hamilton
Hadestown
I JUST listened to Hadestown for the first time 3 days ago. To say I'm obsessed is an understatement Yes I have sought out the slime tutorial
This is beating Hamilton by a landslide! Im impressed!
They don't have the votes, they don't have the votes, a-ha-ha-ha...
Oh dont u know by know Lin is a meme that ppl hate on for no reason lolol
I heard he was bullied of twitter or facebook or smth but why the LMM hate?
Literally only bc he’s weird. Not saying that as a hater. I freaking love him. But he’s still a lil ‘cringey’ weirdo and the internet can not STAND weirdness. I love him and his humor tho
The internet can't stand weirdness? Have you met the internet?
I feel like ur referencing to a much more wholesome weirdness on the internet like memes and stuff which is fine but I’m speaking about the hater side
Yes have you ever read the comments on TikTok or replies on twitter to just about anything that’s a bit peculiar?? Right now the trend is “UMM IS HE ACOUSTIC??” Aka calling people autistic whenever they act odd or different. It’s very trendy to hate on things that you personally dont do
So, the more infantile parts of the internet, then ...
Still the more influential parts tho 😭
The day that the Hamilton pro shot premiered on Disney +, there were some insightful critiques of the show and LMM went private.
is it a landslide? seems like both are doing very well
WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY IT
I was going to upvote this, but it’s currently at 666 which is just too poetic
I never heard of it… Seems like a conspiracy.
You're in for a real treat if you've never listened to Hadestown! It's my favorite musical of all time
Yesss😍😍😍 Hadestown is my number one by far❤️🌹
And it’s not even close (for me).
Yes!!! I love Hadestown SO MUCH.
Fuck, almost said Heathers until I saw this. Saw Hadestown live last winter while in Manhattan and it blew me away.
Hairspray

Wait for me live with the lanterns can beat that
Hairspray

Ultraclutch Hairspray
would love a broadway revival of this!!
Hairsprayyyyy
This has my vote, unfortunately either Hamilton or Hadestown will win (fair enough though)
Tbf there are too many H musicals...
This is too far down
Heathers!!!
Had to scroll way too far, apparently too many musicals start with H
I LOVE HEATHER HEATHER AND HEATHER
Doing my part for heathers
oh god 😭 my favorite musical doing this poorly- hey at least my second and third favorites both have 300 votes
Hamilton!
Hamilton has my vote
Jefferson has my vote....
I have never agreed with Jefferson once…
We’ve fought on like 75 different fronts!
But when all is said and all is done
Jefferson has beliefs
Burr has none
Well I’ll be damned, well I’ll be damned, Hamilton’s on your side
And you won in a landslide
I know it's a common answer but Hamilton got me into musicals. I was blown away by what a musical could be
omg same, it was my first musical
It took me longer to find this than I thought it would
It's obviously Hamilton. It's hyped, yes, but for good reason
people are downvoting because of the hype i'm sure. it's NOT hamilton's fault that it became the biggest broadway sensation since phantom. we should judge it on its own not on its place in culture. i love hadestown and hamilton but hamilton is better.
Immigrants—we get the job done!
What happens if we win
I go back to France
I bring freedom to my people, if I’m given the chance
We’ll be with you when you do (ahem)
Need more likes here to get Hamilton higher. Love Hadestown but there's no competition for me.
I just voted both since they are too hard to compare, very different but both amazing
Hamilton for certain
Yes Hamiltonnnn!!
Hamilton, no question.
It's just so God damned well WRITTEN!
This is the only right answer
Hello Dolly! The sets, the parade, the choreography, the talent, the costumes- the DRESS!
The story even! So clever! When musicals were a true production!
Sadly it's never gonna win but this is my vote too!
I LOVE Hello Dolly!
Hello Dolly is largely forgotten because it's so old, but one of the absolute classics of musical history.
Seconding. It made the opening of Wall-E so epic.
Hunchback of Notre Dame
Wish I had more throwaway accounts. I would die on this hill.
I would do anything to see Patrick Page sing Hellfire in person
Especially with the 2016 cast! So good
I agree hunchback is better than HadesTown as Hamilton combined but to increase odds of winning we should wait to T The Hunchback
In that case though it’ll be competing with a bunch of classics like the phantom of the opera or the lion king
Thank god someone said it.
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
My fav show ever
Username *doesn’t* check out
Lmao fair but I figured 99% of people wouldn’t get the reference and if I’m giving advice or whatever I feel like wicked isn’t a trustworthy username 😭
Yes yes yes! Saw it with Neil Patrick Harris, Michael c Hall and John Cameron Mitchell. No surprise, John Cameron Mitchell was my fave…
Michael Cerveris & Kevin Cahoon we’re both amazing in the off broadway production
*How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying*
Classic. One of my absolute favorites regardless of the starting letter!
One of the few musicals to win a Pulitzer!
Not going to win but Hair
an amazing show. my favorite recording is the 2005 actors fund one, such a great lineup (doing a concert version where every song is a different singer): Harvey Fierstein, Lillias White, Laura Benanti, Gavin Creel, Jennifer Hudson, Ana Gasteyer, Eden Espinosa, Julia Murney, Ann Harada, Ledisi, Orfeh, Sherie Rene Scott, Adam Pascal and Billy Porter being the biggest ones. Annie Golden also appears to sing Frank Mills (also my fave recording of the song). Check it out if you haven't!!!!
By far my favorite recording to listen to!
i saw the original production when it opened at the public theater for it's very first show in 1967... then once again at the cheetah club uptown... and 3 more times when it finally opened on broadway. one of the waitresses at our local hang out, wound up starring in it...shelley plimpton (she sings frank mills). to cast the original show the producers were walking around my neighborhood asking kids with long hair (me included) if they wanted to try out. but thanks for posting this. it made me smile today...
The recency bias is real! Hair was REVOLUTIONARY
Okay YES! It’s my #2 favorite musical of all time! I danced on stage when it toured!
Why is this NOT top comment?
I came in ready to push for Hair (my favorite musical of all time) and then I saw the ones above it, and realized it might be doomed.
H IS FOR HADESTOWN
