Howard Stern was the last to give them the red X, preferring to let the audiences boos come to a crescendo before he cut the Scurvy Crew off. As far as I understand, Hamilton 's "breakthrough" is that it tells the story of Alexander Hamilton's life using people of color and contemporary musical idioms.
