Question
Viewpoint One:
The new American musical, Hamilton is a play that is not to be missed. Hamilton tells the story of America's "forgotten" Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton, through the lense of hip-hop culture. Broadway has never seen a play quite like this before. You have not lived until you've seen a rapping cabinet battle. I highly suggest you save up your pennies for a night at the theater that you'll never forget!
Viewpoint Two:
Critics and audiences are raving about the new Broadway musical, Hamilton, but I need to speak up for the minority opinion: this musical is over-rated. If you like rap or hip-hop, then the show might appeal to you. Personally, though, I found the portrayal of great men like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson using street slang and improper grammar tedious and offensive.
Which best expresses the difference between these two viewpoints?
