Details Keating! The Musical and Hamilton: An American Musical are recent hit musicals respectively from Australia and the United States, which take up "meritocracy," an ideological idea that a person's success depends on their individual competence. Meritocracy, which is an ideological mainstay of globalization, is foregrounded in musical theater, and it also sheds light on each country's ways of thinking about themselves.
