Episodes Witch, Please

We're finally talking about Hamilton! It's been ten years since the show premiered on Broadway and that's just enough time to have some perspective on its lasting impact. For this episode, we had to bring on previous guest and brilliant academic, Shira Lurie (who joined us on Witch, Please for Book 7, Ep. 2). As an expert in American History, Shira helps Hannah and Marcelle explore "Hamilton" as a reflection of the Obama era's rhetorical progressivism and political centrism. They discuss how the show leans on the myth of the American Dream and Hannah places the show in the hagiographic tradition of biography. If you love the musical or hate the musical, not to worry! We promise, this episode is for fans and critics alike.To learn more about Material Girls, head to our Instagram at instagram.com/ohwitchplease! Or check out our website ohwitchplease.ca.
