I am a fan of Hamilton, but feel that the Muppet rendition is not keeping with Muppet values. For example, they are children’s characters and to hear Gonzo use the word “bastard” is exceptionally displeasing. As many small children may listen to this under parent assumption that it is harmless; I neither need additional potty words added to their vocabulary or insensitivity to those children who have been born out of wedlock. Again, love Hamilton – but quite concerned by this choice of rendition.
This isn’t really The Muppets. It’s a guy who does the impressions. This article failed to state that. You’re misrepresenting The Muppets.
Not to mention it isn’t very good.
