Aaron Burr's my favorite character, nonnie, and it was his song that made me listen to the entire thing!

The musical is probably only hard for Thomas Jefferson fans.
I do think it's a bit unquestioning with its "yay America" stance, and I am not comfortable lionizing anyone from history, though that might be more fandom than musical, and every female character in the musical is either in love with Hamilton or fucking him. But it's also really good, and each and every song is an earworm and so dense that you discover a bunch of new fun things every time you listen.
