#12 - The Greatest Showman & Hamilton the Musical: 2 historical musicals with 2 very different approaches to history

This time around NEON gives you two for the price of one. Two musicals about real people from history, but can you get real history from a musical? If so, which one does it better? The Greatest Showman was a surprise smash hit and Hamilton is the awards laden mega hit from Broadway. If you are looking for historical accuracy in a movie where everyone spontaneously bursts into song and dance, that’s not reality but the story it is telling may well be sneaking in real history to learn from. And finally who would you trust with real history Lin-Manuel Miranda or Hugh Jackman?Written & Presented by Jem DuducuProduced by Dan MorelleMusic: Hamilton Instrumentals - Cabinet Battle #2 - InstrumentalBe awesome, support us on PatreonSubscribe to the podcast on iTunes and follow us on Twitter.
