Gotta say.... I preferred the UK cast.

Hamilton, Eliza for sure better in the West End for me. Miranda has acknowledged he's not a great singer, to the extent that he went through some pretty intensive training before resuming the role in Puerto Rico.

Just like in London, Lafayette/Jefferson steals the show. Daveed Diggs is incredible.

I thought burr had a much stronger voice and presence in the UK version I saw too.

Jefferson was great yep.

I really like Leslie Odom as Burr. I don't think it's the strength of his voice so much as the style. He's incredible on Wait For It and Dear Theodosia. The South African guy who played him in the West End was phenomenal too.

Was surprised just how weak Miranda sounded as on the soundtrack he's passable, if notably inferior to his colleagues. His rapping much better than his singing but when he's singing in his own is really quite surprising how poor he is. Absolute genius though.

Ok so just watching this on Disney+ now and not really getting what the buzz was all about.

Ya the music is ok, but not really seeing anything else in it in terms of storytelling and character development. They might as well be aliens on Mars

Each to their own, I loved it and have watched it several times. Others I know can’t get into it.

it’s probably my absolute favourite musical.

I dunno, like... what is it about, all I can hear is people singing the words "Hamilton" this and "Alexander Hamilton" that over and over, with two women being - to say the least - overly emotional about this "Alexander Hamilton" guy.

When the "Alexander Hamilton" guy is on stage he seems angry or torn about something... and there's a kind of American Civil War vibe going on.

Can't stand Rap, like about 1% Hip Hop. Couldn't sit through this

Tickets on sale April 28th, 9am.

I will be in the air from 8.30 to 10 on April 28th.

What cruel fate is this!

Any pre-sales for it? Seems crazy to be buying tickets for a show that's 17+ months away

Thanks for that.

My parents in their 70s who wouldn't know rap if it came up and shot them in the head watched the recording on Disney when it came out and were blown away by it.

Though the same myself, but the Wicked tickets only went on sale the other day too, and I think that is the show running before Hamilton. So a little closer, but still way more than a year away.

I can assure you I won't be blown away by it. I've actually played some of the songs. meh

Any word on presales? I'm a bord gais customer but no mention of it on their rewards page even though ticketmaster mention a bord gais presale.

So many modern musicals are pure garbage. Anyway, have a good night

Sure enough it was for me, tickets secured for several friends and myself. Seems to have become very unstable now though to get access to the presale screen.

I've always wondered why anyone would feel the need to come to a musicals forum - or any special interest area really - just to loudly and repeatedly declare that they have no interest in the item under discussion.

It's really rather bizarre behaviour.

Aisling(",) · 28-04-2023 10:57am

I got my tickets for a weekday evening.I think 85 each for the tiered part of the stalls but I loved the show when I saw it last,it's on constant rotation on my spotify and I knew I'd be killed with jealousy watching people go for the 9 weeks if I hadn't gotten tickets.

Are you referring to me? I love musicals.
