No see, no hear.

[Volante]

Mon - Filibuster

I'll probably be seeing Hamilton in '18.

[Plactus]

Quorum.
Have less than zero interest in Hamilton, and every time I hear someone talk about how great it is the number goes down.

[TenPoundHammer]

Stupid political clues. Betcha anything I'm the only goose egg.

[Anachronism]

You're really going to hate the musical I'm working on, Jeanne, in which The Maid of Orleans is really a gender-fluid lumberjack with an extreme case of ailurophobia.

Don't see why. Could be pretty neat.

[econgator]

I guessed someone who would become President for Friday's clue.

The totality of my knowledge of Hamilton is that some guy named Miranda has something to do with it.

[Johnblue]

Hamilton looks perfectly ghastly.

[dinghammer]

No opportunity to guess on Thursday. Still need a little duct tape smiley.

QFT

The only interest I have in Hamilton is that I live there.

It looks like Mark didn't use the "clues bpmod got wrong this week" list that he usually uses to pick the extras.

[Leander]

No guess on Monday.

Have not seen Hamilton or heard more than a snippet of its music.

[davey]

Oyez on Monday...good to know that one was a challenge to many
I'm seeing Hamilton in October, but I knew there's a song called "The Room Where it Happens."
Interesting about that Final Jeopardy clue - could it be the first celebrity clue ever intended to give the players an advantage over the average J! Fan? As well-connected, well-off TV people, it's likely they've all seen Hamilton...
However, could it be the first celebrity game in which all three players had recently lost their jobs...?

[dhkendall]

Biggest surprise? As of right now, with 55 responses, only 4 people admit to having listened to the cast album of Hamilton, and no one has admitted to seeing the play. When I go on Facebook it seems like all my trivia friends can't stop talking about Hamilton!

[BigDaddyMatty]

I think I clammed on The Tempest though I was ~80% sure it was correct.
I have not seen Hamilton, but I have heard a couple of the songs, most notably "Cabinet Battle #1."

[Holocene Hero]

I may have listened to the soundtrack once or twice...

[davey]

I may have listened to the soundtrack once or twice...

When did they have time to make the movie??...

[alietr]

I am definitely not a fan of hip-hop or rap, but for those of you who have been saying that they couldn't be less interested in Hamilton, I suggest you watch this clip of Lin-Manuel Miranda at The White House when he was still forming the idea for the play:

So how did everyone else know Pakistan anyway?

[Volante]

So how did everyone else know Pakistan anyway?

It's between India and Afghanistan.
