David, I should have read your review of Hamilton before I sent mine - I
could have just said “ditto”!

Here’s my problem. I like musicals. I like old musicals and newer ones as
well. I’ve been in musicals, watched them live and helped produce two over
the years. But....
I can’t get through Hamilton. Don’t like it. Lyrics are way too fast and
couldn’t understand a lot of it without subtitles. It has nothing to do
with the subject matter or the cast, I just don’t like it.
Hawana thinks that it’s the best musical in years and has watched it
numerous times on Disney+, and I have started it several times, but within
30 minutes I just can’t stand it anymore. She keeps telling me that it
gets better later on and there’s beautiful soloists, but I can’t muster up
the time to watch the rest.
It’s like Fight Club and Bruce Springsteen. Only watched Fight Club after
starting it over 5 times because I was invited to a birthday party where
everyone watched it and it was the b-day boys favorite movie. Never liked
or tolerated any by Springsteen then or now.
So, of all the crap we could argue over, this is a wedge of like vs
distain for. Guess I will knuckle down and try again tonight provided we
have power and satellite.

I read Chernow’s biography of Hamilton first, then bought tickets to
able to see the play at home on Disney+ (and I watched it three times).
You can watch a video of the live performance many times for the price of
one live ticket, and closed captioning is helpful too. I liked it very
much and recommend it.

you dislike, like or rave about what you saw?
Have any of you watched or been to a live production of Hamilton? Did
