There is a reading of play coming up, or just taken place, that points out the historical inaccuracies/omissions in Hamilton. (I'm not saying that's backlash, but I'm not surprised to hear these thoughts being put into a dramatic piece).

Also, inaccuracies in historical-based entertainment is nothing new, and frankly, is to be expected, I think. Sherman Edwards even went on record to talk about the often deliberate changes made for 1776.

Not only nothing new but going all the way back to the Greeks. I have no doubt that there were also those among the crowds exiting the Theatre of Dionysus who were kvetching about this very subject too.

And I just read the lengthy Wikipedia entry on the historical inaccuracies in BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, which I still loved as a film based on a true story rather than a documentary.
