Hamilton in London is a thrilling mix of history, hip-hop, and heart. The cast gave outstanding performances — full of energy, precision, and emotion. The staging and lighting were slick and creative, and the live orchestra added so much depth. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is that some lyrics were hard to catch at times, and the pacing can feel a bit overwhelming if you’re new to the show. Still, it’s a brilliant and unique production that’s absolutely worth seeing!

The music and stage performance is both brilliant!! The casts are very good; expression and voice are fantastic! Though it didn't replicate the original cast, which isn't a problem since they have their own expressing method. I love it! 10/10 would recommend at least going for once!
