"But 'heartless' is an opinion, not a question of fact." I know what you mean, but so much of HAMILTON is concerned with the characters' emotions about what's happening that I don't understand how anyone can hold the opinion that the show is "heartless." Even if someone thinks those emotions somehow feel false -- and I can't understand that, either -- I don't believe "heartless" is the word to use. The same goes for Sondheim's shows. And I suspect the people who find those shows heartless are the same ones who think "Sondheim can't write a melody." Yes, it's an opinion that Sondheim can't write a melody, but any opinion needs some basis in factual reality.
