Finally in the room where it happens! Yes, I finally got to see Hamilton. I have been trying to win lottery tickets to see the musical for years, but family friend Janet got us tickets when they went on sale months and months ago. So this past Friday September 28 Janet, Mom, Sloane, and I went to see Orpheum Theatre to see Hamilton! It was a wonderful musical and certainly one of the best musicals I have ever seen (up there with the live musicals of Phantom of the Opera, Mary Poppins, and Mamma Mia!). Did I care that it plays fast and loose with history. No, I don’t care. I am not Neil deGrasse Tyson complaining about the placement of the stars. I just want to be swept away in the music and the story. Enjoy it for what it is- a very fun musical that makes people happy.
Although I was angry the first 30 minutes of the first act, because they had all the songs out of order. Was someone sick? Why where they messing up things? Then I started to think about what was going on and I finally realized that the copy of the CD I always listen to must have been burned out of order and at intermission we brought up the playlist and yes, I had been listening to them out of order. Seems the musical makes a lot more sense and is a lot funner when you have everything in the order as Lin-Manuel Miranda intended them to be. Haha!
