I didn’t look forward Hamilton, despite recommendations from a number of friends.

That said, I was blown away DESPITE there being no
“whistleable” tunes.

The lack of a catchy or memorable melody didn’t take away from a fantastic musical and dramatic production.

I’d compare it to certain operas that have a great cumulative effect even if you don’t remember any “greatest hits.”

Puccini, who wrote many melodies recognizable easily by non-opera fans, also wrote a number of exquisite works without many or even any. La Rodine has a single aria that people might know; La Fanciulla del West has zero but is still perhaps my favorite of his works.

Hamilton is a profoundly conservative work of American art - in the most important meaning of the word, conserving civilization, passing down its meaning, cherishing shared memories.

With regards to tunes, I’d say It’s Quiet Uptown is a memorable melody. And certainly its a poignant portion of the show.

"You'll Be Back" and "Burn" stood out to me as being memorable (with the former also being whistleable).

Hamilton isn't even an operetta; IT WAS A LOUSY, RACIST BROADWAY SHOW!

There has actually only been ONE, JUST ONE, American OPERA and that was PORGY AND BESS, whose songs ( arias ) are ALL memorable, hummable, and beautiful!
