The first half is rousing. The second half will make you sad.

They skip a lot of the real life beef Burr and Hamilton had, but it's covered well enough. Burr seems more sympathetic in this musical than I recall from history books.

I never recall the name Hercule Mulligan though - maybe my local city council voted that out of the text book. (Interesting that I do remember Cato - who's not in the play.)

Pretty good. Too bad I'll never see it (or not until it hits the road.) And I can't even get tickets to the touring show in San Diego for Book of Mormon without subscribing for the entire season. So probably will never see it.
