Critics Say
Rent
Critics largely embrace this vibrant rock opera updating "La Bohème" for '90s East Village, praising its passionate score and raw energy, though some find its flaws magnified on Broadway.
Hamilton
Critics hail Hamilton as a groundbreaking masterpiece that revolutionizes the Broadway musical through hip-hop storytelling. Miranda's audacious, electrifying work about the Founding Father earns near-unanimous raves for its innovation and artistry.
