I screamed so loud when the announcement came about it coming to Disney+ that my husband thought I hurt myself. His response - oh thank god we don't have to keep paying to see it. Wrong answer on his part. The live theater experience is different.

FFWC I have never seen, nor even really listened to the music of, Hamilton. I'm very excited to finally have a chance!

enchanted, thanks to this thread I now love you more than my husband and kids. Not sorry about it. I have tickets to see Hamilton in December when it comes (my mom is giving me her season tickets as a birthday gift) and I am really scared it will be cancelled. I actually teared up yesterday when they announced the release on Disney+. Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum on PBS does an episode on Alexander Hamilton. My oldest son always yells "Mommy, it's your favorite!" when it comes on. Anyway, this is the greatest thread of my life probably. Everything I've seen so far WRT theater schedules has been postponement, not cancellation. I hope you get to see it.

If you haven't seen it before, I definitely recommend familiarizing yourself with the story and probably a little bit of the lyrics because uh, it moves fast, lol

She bought the soundtrack after the performance for the car ride home and forbade us to sing along with it so she could focus on the words. She said she felt like she missed so many details because it was a lot to take in.

Some friends of ours here bought tickets knowing nothing about it other than it was super popular so they had to go. (Which, I rolled my eyes, but whatever.) Anyway, then they bitched that they had no idea what happened because it was too fast paced. I rolled my eyes more.

It's really dense though. A TON happens.

I've listened to the full soundtrack dozens and dozens of times and have a large portion if it memorized and yet I still catch new things each time. It's truly amazing. LMM is a lyrical genius.

We saw the Angelica tour when it came to Detroit last year. I actually saw it twice because after spending way too much money on tickets for my birthday, I ended up winning the lottery a couple weeks later. Omg seeing it the second time from the second row was 1000x better. I had a hard time seeing anything the first time with someone's big head right in front of me. I missed so much. Being up close you can see and hear the moments between the ensemble like during the rap battles. I actually enjoyed watching them.
And I'm not sure if we got a good Aaron Burr but I thought he was good. He was the understudy. Later on I was looking up the real Aaron Burr and had to do a double take because I swear he looked like his twin. I'll have to try to find pictures.

When we saw it here, we had an understudy do the part of Angelica. She was absolutely amazing, don't get me wrong, but I know people around us were grumbling about it a little bit before the show began. I was reading the playbill in the car on the way home and it turned out, she was from our city, which is why I assume she went on instead of the principle actress. Late to the party but when we saw it the second time in DC we had the standby for Hamilton and understudy for Burr, Angelica and Mulligan/Madison and the show was still FANTASTIC. The standby quickly became my new favorite Hamilton. He’s now Hamilton proper for the Angelica traveling cast and is just amazing at emoting.

We won the lottery last summer and I took my 9 year old (who is Hamilton obsessed). We met them at the stage door after and they were all so nice to her. A few of them said they saw her in the front row. She was in heaven.

I ordered the Hamilton book this morning, and I am so excited for it to get here Wednesday! It's the one about the play with LMM's notes in it. (I think there was a pic of it earlier in the thread.)

Does anyone know if there's a place to watch the PBS documentary? Apparently H didn't watch it with me before but I can't find it. I think PBS has it unavailable until they actually play it again.

I haven't been able to find it. I'm about to set my spouse on the hunt. If he has any luck, I'll let you know.

I still have it in my DVR from when it originally ran, so that's how I watch it. I just went looking and couldn't find it either.
