Moonmont Chronicle Reports Lin-Manuel Miranda Revising HAMILTON To Be 'A Little More Sheltered Racist-Accessible'

The satirical website Moonmont Chronicle reports that random anonymous social media comments following the cast of HAMILTON's performance on Monday night's Grammy Award telecast have convinced author/star Lin-Manual Miranda that "a music-less play starring only old white men might have won over skeptics and helped the show achieve greater commercial success."

The report cites A.O.L. user MCHammerstein as one complainer: "I, for one, feel that it's historically dishonest to portray well-known Founding Father Alexander Hamilton as non-white. There's no way I'd sit through that garbage. Which is a real shame, cuz I'm a huge fan of classic musicals, OKLAHOMA! and WICKED being a few of my favorites. I'm all about supporting the arts, but I have to draw the line somewhere."

Similar reactions from amateur historians, furious that the title character, who was born in the Caribbean, was not played by a white actor had Miranda admitting that if he had done more to appeal to "a wider audience of honkies" the average ticket price might have risen above a meager $411.

"If I'd just cast Norbert Leo Butz instead of rapper Daveed Diggs to play Thomas Jefferson, I totally would have won over the musical-loving online troll community,' Miranda now concludes, adding "If we just tweak the show a little bit to make it a little more sheltered racist-accessible, we might actually push our sold-out date past 2022."
