So I saw Hamilton last night.

My god it was one of the best experiences I've ever had watching a musical. The music was amazing, the actors in it were amazing, words can't describe it until you see it live. Oh and the soundtrack doesn't really do it justice once you've seen it with a full band backing the actors. If you ever get the chance it's totally worth it.

I prefer more lyrical melodies..ala Rodgers and Hammerstein or Lerner and Loewe..not really onboard with any of the newer composers

Usually, if a play is highly regarded I really enjoy it (even if I thought i wouldn't like it and resisted going).

They know exactly what is next, and start cheering and clapping before a song starts, making it hard to hear. It is more of a happening than a play.

I have the soundtrack and have listened to it multiple times so I knew what was coming but hearing it performed live doesn't do the soundtrack justice.

Paying scalper ticket prices though blows.

We really want to take our granddaughters. They love the soundtrack. Is gonna still out so fast we are thinking of becoming members so we can get advance ticket sales. 75 bucks a year to get a shot at tix 2 days before general public. I think it'll be worth it as I'm seeing Willie Nelson there in a couple weeks and there's other shows, band, orchestras, etc that we'd be interested in.

Maybe next time I'm in the States. It took me long enough to get tickets to see The Book Of Mormon, but I eventually did. With a little luck, I'll get to see Hamilton, too.
