Badd Medicine here and its Hamilton musical reaction time
Hamilton narrates Alexander Hamilton's life in two acts, and details among other things his involvement in the American Revolutionary War as an aide-de-camp to George Washington, his marriage to Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, his career as a lawyer and secretary of the treasury, and his interactions with Aaron Burr which culminates in their duel at the end of Hamilton's life.
Jeffrey Seller and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Miranda, who wrote the music, lyrics, and book for the musical, also stars as Treasury Secretary and Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, along with the musical's original principal Broadway cast, including Leslie Odom Jr., Phillipa Soo, Christopher Jackson, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Daveed Diggs, Anthony Ramos, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Okieriete Onaodowan, and Jonathan Groff.

Watched it during lockdown with my 11 year old. We had to cover eyes and ears during Maria Reynolds’ song hahaha I did musical theater in high school and wish there was something like this when I was doing it! Still, Rent had just been made into a movie when I was in school, and Wicked was all the rage. The King is portrayed by the same actor who plays Kristoff in the Frozen series! The moving stage blew my mind when I watched it for the first time. I absolutely love how there is almost no dialogue and it manages 2.5 hours of straight songs. Also during Washington’s resignation song, “One Last Time,” I’ll always remember my husband leaning back and saying, “George Washington was a real G for this move.” Lol

If you decide to see more musicals, I beg you to watch proshot (live stage musicals that are professionally shot, as this was) and not Hollywood adaptation. I don't know why, but the Hollywood versions are usually really lacking - like with some of my favorites ("Into the Woods" or "Sweeney Todd"). If you need a Hollywood adaptation, I'd stick to "Chicago" or maybe "Cabaret." Btw, you've heard Lin-Manuel Miranda's work before in _Moana_ and _Encanto._ He's delightful!

When a friend of mine told me to watch it, I was like "nah, I prefer musicals with more dialogue and acting in between the songs. I really don't like the musicals that go from one song to the next and the next without a break." And then I watched Hamilton and was blown away. With the rapping it really doesn't matter that they aren't talking, because they are having their dialogues in rap form and then there are the other songs in between.

Some extra info: Alexander and Eliza actually had 8 kids in total. Phillip was their first son. Their first daughter “Angelica” became severely mentally ill after her brother died and needed 24 hour care and never moved out. At the time of Alexander’s death Eliza had just had another child who was 6 months old, a son who they named “Phillip” after their first son. Eliza was left alone with 7 children one who was mentally ill that she took care of and refused to lock away. She lived for 50 more years and never married again. She outlived her both her sisters, her husband and two of her children.

I don’t know if the presidency would be like it is today if he hadn’t done that.

It's such a beautiful concept that the play does where it's about teaching the nation how to say goodbye to a leader when everyone is so used to a monarchy just sticking around until death and then passing it on to the next kin. But to have the foresight to see how important it was to purposefully leave and guide the nation through this process for the first time to set the tone for other leaders who come behind you was crucial.

Yes. The conductor is in a spot where he or she can see both the orchestra and the musicians. The performers on stage can see the conductor depending on where they are, but there are also tv screens usually positioned on the balcony so the stage performers always have a view of the conductor. That way they don’t have to look down for a cue. This is customary, but now it’s getting more popular to have the orchestra visible… sometimes they’re even on the stage and in costume. I can’t wait for someone to make the pro shot of Hadestown which does that so well.

LMM does some incredible things with the structure of this musical! Angelica is the only female character who raps, indicating how she is just as ambitious and clever as the men. Compared to typical musical structures where the protagonist sings an "I want" song early in act 1, Burr is the one who gets an "I want" song that also functions as his villain song, and it comes in act 2 because of how long he "waits for it". Similarly, throughout the entire musical Hamilton is characterized by not throwing away his shot while Burr is characterized by waiting, and they both do the opposite in the climax: Burr doesn't wait, and Hamilton literally throws away his shot. There's dozens of tiny little brilliant details packed into the story and music that I can't even list them all here unless I want to drop a wall of text!

Les Mis was my favorite set design, utilizing a moving stage as well.

Even opera houses often sell tickets to their late rehearsals (full dress, orchestra, lighting, etc. but sometimes special effects involving things like explosives won't be used) at affordable prices. They're the performances that school groups go to see. When I lived in NYC, I used to buy tickets to those, because I could never afford the Met otherwise. Casual dress is perfectly okay for those rehearsals, and it's a great way to see opera if you're on a limited budget.

Even the opera you can go with not being dressed up fancy. I've been in sports trackies and a hoodie for a last minute watching of a matinee (side note my mum used to work at the ROH so i have seen plenty of performances), there is no dress code, but with operas and some shows i do feel like it is nicer to go dressed up a bit.

100%! And I’ve had coworkers from my day job come to some of my performances and they say “and we won’t make ANY noise”, which they’re always surprised when I tell them they’re allowed to make noise, and laugh and cheer, just don’t have a full out conversation during the show 😂 React naturally as the show happens, and you’re good! (I love telling the story of how one time during a performance of A Little Night Music, our Count Carl Magnus was booed off stage after an unsavory interaction with his wife, and it took everything in us to not absolutely lose it on stage. One of my favourite audience reactions to this day)

To answer a question, the "microphone in the hair" is just the way they do it on Broadway. You usually can't see it if you're in the audience, but on camera they get a lot more visible. How long or short someone's hair is also has a lot to do with it. Also, for this video they ran through the show twice, once with an audience and once without. They wanted to capture the audience reactions, but the second run-through without an audience is where they got all the shots where the camera is right up in the middle of the action

This is a work of art that is unmatchable. It is brilliant. It was nominated for 16 Tony awards (a record) and won 11. It won for Best Musical in addition to Leslie Odom Jr. (Aaron Burr) for Best Actor, Daveed Diggs (Marquis de Lafayette) for Best Featured Actor and Renee Elise Goldsberry (Angelica) for Best Featured Actress. The film was made over two days. The close ups were done on a Monday (Broadway is dark on Monday) and in front of a live audience for the full stage shots. The choreo and the turntables are incredible. One fun fact, if you watch the brick wall at the back of the stage, as the nation slowly builds the brick wall goes higher.

"What's going on" at 12:04 (I think it's hard to tell from the video) is that the center of the stage is actually a giant turntable, so it's rotating counter clockwise (I think?) to show time going back. Which y'all recognized later in theshow. It's incredible in real life. Also, just a reminder (in case y'all don't remember, because it's just accepted as inevitable now), the British army had NEVER been defeated before. They had won every single war and squashed every single rebellion up until that point. It was really a miracle that we won, and it took a hell of a lot of bravery to openly fight against them. Another fun fact: I seriously doubt y'all have seen it, but this is the same King George depicted in the Queen Charlotte series on Netflix. So when he says, "I'll go mad," it's like...yeah. He did. That happened. (not because of us, but still)

Totally blown away by this play! Lin-Manuel Miranda is a legend, seriously. The guy not only crushed it as Hamilton but also wrote the whole masterpiece, plus the hits for Moana and Encanto. Having the original cast recording is a privilege. Seeing it live is something else, but this cast? Unmatched. Caught it in NY last year-awesome experience by the way. Yet, this recording hits different every single time I watch it. Just wanted to add, about Eliza's final gasp at the end of the show, I'm with those who believe that as Eliza wonders who will remember her and her story, Lin-Manuel Miranda (not as Hamilton, but as the playwright himself) takes her hand and brings her to the front of the stage to see the audience witnessing and hearing her story. It's the acknowledgment of her legacy, and she's moved. That's how the play wraps up, and I absolutely love it! :)

I LOVE THIS MUSICAL!! Great reaction as always. There are quite a few changes from history, notably: Burr, Jefferson, and Madison were not the people who Hamilton told about the affair, they found out through the Reynolds Pamphlet, it was three different people. One of them, Charles Monroe, was challenged to a duel by Hamilton, but Burr (who was Monroe's second) managed to stop it before either of them were shot. Philip died after the Election of 1800 not before. The tipping point wasn't Hamilton voting against Burr at the election, that was only part of it, it was actually a few years later when Hamilton staunchly discredited Burr's running for governor despite them going for the same ideals. (He also supported a smear campaign by the party's rivals). Maria Reynolds was being abused by her husband and he was threatening to kill their daughter, Susan, if she didn't find someone to have an affair with and then blackmail. She was considered very respectable and married a doctor after her husband was arrested. Hamilton actually supported 'positions for life' and was at first considered a sort of royalist (his views did change over time). Angelica was already married when she met Hamilton, she also had several brothers. Adams didn't fire Hamilton, although they didn't get along, Hamilton had already been discreetly let go from government when Washington was still President. At the duel, Hamilton fired his gun, it missed Burr. It is unclear if he was intending to hit him or not, because he didn't miss him by much. Also: If you want to check out other proshots like this I recommend the proshot of Into The Woods! Bernadette Peters is a queen and it's free to watch legally on KZfaq.

Another musical I think you guys would enjoy is Come From Away. It's about a bunch of people trapped in a few small canadian towns during 9/11. The USA closed their airspace, so everyone on planes got diverted to Newfoundland and were stuck there until the airspace re-opened (days later). It's a really heartfelt musical that gives such a different perspective to the main media coverage of 9/11. It also does a great job at balancing emotional moments and fun/humour. The other cool thing you'll find is that it has a pretty small cast (especially compared to most broadway musicals), with everyone playing multiple characters throughout the show. Also, based on your comments about the staging I think you'd really appreciate how Come From Away uses lighting and props (like chairs) to completely change a setting from one scene to the next. They professionally shot the stage musical and it's now on Apple TV. I've seen it both live (not on Broadway, unfortunately) and on Apple TV, and I highly reccommend it. One of my favourite musicals, especially because of the staging.

There are a million tiny details regarding the songs and what style they are written in, how Lin Manuel Miranda wrote everything ("My Shot" took a year to write on its own!), even dozens of guesses about why Eliza gasps at the end. The intricacies of this show is amazing. LMM is the Mozart of our day. This show crams in 4-6 hours of songs into 2.5 hours. Several of the actors are in LMM's Freestyle Love Supreme and this was their first show ever (Daveed Diggs was one of those). This "musical" is so much more than a typical musical... so totally understandable Oak was surprised! This show wins over those who hate musicals and those who hate history. And yes, if history was taught this way for everything, we would know our history! History classes all over the US now use Hamilton (acting it out themselves!) as a lesson during the whole year along with everything else.

Will they tell your story?” Then it’s implied she passes on (“I can’t wait to see you again. It’s only a matter of time…) Time passes as the chorus repeats “Time…” until those on stage are caught up to the present day. The last phrase of the show is “Who tells your story?” as she looks out into the auditorium. She sees the stage and audience and that his story is being told and then gasps out of happiness.

He also was brave enough to watch this in London with Prince Harry (his 6 times great grandfather was King George). Do add his first musical In the Heights to your list of performances to see and if you want an older Broadway musical about the revolution try "1776". Older and a different style but you will pick up a bit more history fairly painlessly. Thank you

Les Mis is a MUST. It takes place in the French Revolution which is mentioned in Hamilton!

Les Mis is actually not the French Revolution - it's a smaller failed uprising

The other person got to it first:) not the French Revolution. It actually makes it more powerful in a way:) because you know they could never succeed. It is French for “the miserables”.

The music director's head is basically the only part of the orchestra that is not buried beneath the stage. While conducting, he is also playing keyboards. By the way, Lin-Manuel is a fan of classic musicals like Les Miserables. From the time Les Miz started in the mid-80s until a few years ago, the set featured a gigantic turntable. This turntable allowed for actual motion and the ability to flow from one scene to another seamlessly, without stopping the music, just like a movie. I believe this is where they got the idea for the staging of Hamilton.

Hamilton has such a special place in my heart I listen to the soundtrack in 2016 everyday all day I knew this musical front and back. I was so lucky to be able to see this with the original cast in New York, while also getting callback audience for the tour. All this to say I love this musical, which fun fact it is not a musical at all because its an operetta meaning everything is sung like opera just not in the operatic style. This show was so special because it had never been done before n with it color blind casting and rap, hip/hop/ r&b in a musical that was not about that style of music already like the Tupac musical " Holler if Ya Hear Me". Lin said he waited to tell the story of America by America today. The theming and double entendres throughout the story/songs with things like " Aaron Burr Sir, Satisfied, Look around, Wait for it and more" are just brilliant. One of my favorite examples is in the first song " Alexander Hamilton" when they says " we fought with him. (Lafayette& Hercules fought with him in war and when they are Jefferson/ Madison they fought with him in politics), " me I died for him ( Laurace/ Phillip died for him believing for the same cause and defending his dad honor) ," and Me I loved him" ( Eliza loved as a wife, Angelica as a friend/ family, and Maria who we think is Peggy at first as a mistress) all have double meaning because the cast plays two parts. Lin-Manuel Miranda who wrote all the music is also the lead Hamilton. Lin also wrote the song for Disney Moana and Enconto, you should check out his first musical " In the Heights" where he also plays the lead and the actor who played Washington, Christopher Jackson is in it as well. One of the things that I love about this show is Aaron Burr narratives the whole show and and is one of the only people to get an " I want song" actually 2 with" Wait For It and Room Where it Happens.' Which never happens with the antagonist as well as Angelica being the only women to rap in the show, to show she is just as smart as the men and Hamilton's Equal. The last thing I just love is theme of Burr waiting and Hamilton constantly moving and when it really matter they switch Burr doesn't wait and Hamilton throws away his shot.
