Yeah, but the point of Hamilton is to blackify everything. I mean, it's a hip hop musical. You can't have a bunch of white boys doing that.

Look, I'm a consumer. I expect some faithfulness to the original when I'm watching a production of the same play. As soon as I heard a black man's voice that sounded nothing like Michael Crawford, or even like someone that could have been the Phantom IRL, I was completely taken out of my immersion. It mostly ruined the evening for me.
