I enjoyed the vitality of the music and the production, and the audience cheered the performers along giving a standing ovation at the end. I need to find out a bit more history of that time- intrigued about the characters. It was a bit too long though, some scenes maybe could be cut to move the story along. Nice tear- jerker at the end, worth waiting for.

Victoria palace is a gorgeous theatre right in front of Victoria station. Seats A37 and 36A are cheap but you can still enjoy the show since visibility is almost perfect. The cast delivered an incredible performance, from the main characters to the ensemble, thanks to them my longtime dream of seeing Hamilton the musical became true.

The show was amazing, the music, performance, atmosphere, everything. It's the only show I saw more than once and I would love to keep coming back to see it - the different cast changes the show a bit each time.
