shimmy Haribo fan.

Hamilton snob opinion: that production that came through salt lake was good and all, but doesn’t hold a candle to the

non-touring cast.

I had seen it a couple times before seeing the same cast perform in Vegas and I was pretty disappointed. Aaron Burr flat out butchered the part.

I’m very excited to watch the original cast when we watch it tomorrow. Phillipa Soo has the voice of an angel and Leslie Odem Jr. is amazing.

You’ll be glad you did. Blare the music and bass loud.

Too long, IMO. But very good. I think the second act gets a bit lost. Great show

I didn’t love the soundtrack until I saw it live in Chicago. Blown away

I thought the last 30 minutes or so kinda dragged. I had never seen it though, pretty good.

Watching it right now. Seems like I would enjoy it more live.

Also it kinda helps you realize these were very flawed men. But also very great men.

I think right now people hold this belief because LesMis is nostalgic for them. When you’re dead in 50 years I don’t

Is that that thing with white dudes raping about the founding?

No. They aren’t white.

West Side Story, Fiddler, and Hamilton are the top 3 IMHO. Hamilton is my #1.

It's just not great music, though. Great story, bland music.

I had no clue what was going on, in first act. Tried too hard to figure out what they were saying.

It’s a must see after reading the Hamilton chernow biography. It’s amazing

I don't know how we would've done without subtitles on. I relied on them heavily to be able to follow.

I could have put subtitles on?!

Game changer. Luckily we had others who had seen it showing it to us, so they knew to put the subtitles on for us from

Not a bad play but nowhere near as good as Phantom or Les Mis.
