Is hamilton safe for kids?

My oldest daughter was 8 when we started watching it and she fell love with it right away. We watch it at least once a week and listen to the soundtrack more. Hamilton actually sparked her interest in the actual history.

She understands the swearing is not to be repeated. And honesty, she hears more cuss words from her father than in the musical 🤣 And my daughter and I already started the sex talk before this so it helped continue the conversation as she asked questions like why Hamilton is called a bastard. As for violence, i feel its less than most action movies.

I have three boys aged 11, 6, and 3. They have vastly different personalities. I have never censored anything my 11 year has wanted to watch or talk about. We use what we hear on the news or on TV as learning opportunities. Having 2 younger brothers with a largish age gap led to a discussion about sex at a relatively early age. I don’t ever lie to him (there are no storks bringing babies in my house), but I might gloss over certain details that don’t detract from the overarching lesson. My 6 year old is another story. He delights in repeating curse words and does not have the same social conscience as his brother. I shield him more from video game gun violence, etc than I did his brother. We still have the same frank discussions, but it’s at a different pace with a different emphasis. My 11 year old has seen Hamilton on Disney+, my 6 year old has not but this is not because of their ages but because of their personalities. All three boys hear the soundtrack constantly and I heard my 3 year old singing “The Battle of Yorktown” on his own last week. My 3 year old loves to sing and I can see him being a theatre kid in the future. He will likely be interested in seeing Hamilton before his 6 year old brother ever is, if at all. At whatever age either of them asks to see it, I will let them, but with me present and there will be a lot of pausing to discuss things, but there will be no fast forwarding through “the red lady” or anything else.

All of that to say: yes it’s safe for the right kid at the right age with the right parental involvement.

I think that Disney bleeped out the curse words so the only issue would be a kind of sexual song but there is nothing explicit just a bunch of allusions.

As to the drunken duller thing is not true. True he gets drinks at the beginning and is a little drunk but he doesn't do anything that a child can't see.

Some swearing, but depending on her age she might not catch it as 1/2 of it is rapped pretty quickly. We always fast forward through “Say No To This” the kids know when the lady in the red dress comes on we fast forward until she is gone.

Honestly if anything I think it had way more pro’s then cons. My kids are biracial and they LOVE seeing themselves represented it is so important to them. And it opened up a lot of great conversations about history. I have a 5 year old who can tell you all about constitutional conventions, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and has memorized a lot of the dates in history they talk about.
