I really enjoyed the show. Hamilton was excellent; he had a beautiful singing voice and delivered his monologue in “Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story” with great emotion. And this despite the fact that he was just a stand-in and technically part of the ensemble. Eliza was good—I don’t have anything else to say about her. Angelica was outstanding; she sang “Satisfied” superbly. The longing she portrayed was impressive. I really liked Peggy/Maria. As Peggy, her portrayal of the “third wheel” was truly believable—you could practically feel her naivety. As Maria, she sang beautifully. I didn’t like Burr at all. I don’t expect a Leslie Odom Jr. performance—that would be asking too much. However, the actor mumbled every line, which was reminiscent of mumble rap. This was particularly distracting in “Dear Theodosia,” “Wait for It,” and “The Room Where It Happens”; he seemed to have “main character syndrome,” and I felt like he was desperately trying to play his own interpretation of the role just to set himself apart. He succeeded, but it just wasn’t good. Lafayette/Jefferson was fantastic. He had charm, vibe, and his performance was witty. I wouldn’t have thought that a portrayal of Lafayette/Jefferson could come close to Daveed Diggs. The chemistry with Madison was very good, and in Act 1 with Mulligan and Laurens, Mulligan/Madison was just as good; his slightly comical interpretation wasn’t over the top and was very good—his energy and strong voice also appealed to me. Laurens/Philipp as Laurens was good, as Philipp he was fantastic. You really bought into his portrayal of the child without coming across as silly. As Laurens, he didn’t stand out, though, and had no flaws. King George was too silly for me, as if he were performing for elementary schoolers. Sure, he’s supposed to seem a bit childish and naive, but for me it was too much—he and Burr were the weak points of the musical, even though he was at least somewhat amusing in parts. In general, two lines were also changed: in “Take a Break,” instead of “John Adams doesn’t have a real job anyway,” it was “Vice President doesn’t have a real job anyway,” and in “Your Obedient Servant,” instead of “Weehawken Dawn Guns Drawn,” it was “New Jersey Dawn Guns Drawn.” This confused me. The theater is extremely impressive.

Hamilton was amazing!!! The tickets arrived the day before and I had no issues getting into the venue. Highly recommend. I would, however, spend more on centered tickets, the view posted required me to lean and reach my camera out over the railing, most of the stage was blocked (not just the right) if you didn't LEAN the whole time. These were grand circle box seats.
