He is talented and charismatic but let's not act like he's getting these parts solely because he's more capable than anyone else that may star in Hamilton over the years. He's young, attractive and a popular name of the moment. His talent is the icing on the cake. "

 

I don't think it is because he is more capable. I think he

Two years ago, Diggs was flying back and forth across the country, on his own dime, for Hamilton workshops. Now he's got some interesting opportunities, and the movie - while it doesn't excite me all that much - could turn him into a minor Hollywood star.

There are three pairs in very good locations (rows F, H, L) available at the premium rate of $549. That's original sale, not resale. I wonder if those are house seats that they don't think will sell on the cancellation line? Are they just putting cancellation/house seats on ticketmaster now? "

I know. Really. There are even Amex premium $849 tickets sitting unsold from the last block. It really will be interesting to see how this all transpires.

Okay, if no one else will then I will... Calling c

After Eight said: ""Why is there so much snarky nastiness on all the Hamilton threads? If you don't like Hamilton or its fans, why participate in the threads?"

 

I think it's easy to understand. Many people are sick of the gargantuan hype and overpraise accorded this show, and are stating as much. They also chafe at the groupthink nature of the mega media push behind it, and that is also given expression in these threads. No
