The show seems so tailored to those specific performers. I'd think they'd have to update the material somehow?

I think I had this idea in another thread...

Never seen the movie, so I think I'll try and catch this at CST. But oof. 

It was pretty easy to snag last minute Sunset tickets at a reasonable price so we shall see with this. 

Seems interesting to go traditional proscenium for this show given its run at Arena. If it’s back to a traditional staging what makes this revival special?

I think I agree. Except in Act 2 when the show sort of drags and I wish we could break up all the brown. But it totally works for the show. 

I'm assuming the production is too big for any of the Public's spaces so it was probably deemed unnecessary to do a downtown run. I always wondered what Hamilton would look like if it had done a regular out of town try out and not been stuck with the limitations of the Public's space. 

It started at the Yard so I’d imagine it would stay that way but I’d love to see a whole new take.

He was excellent in Chicago and loved seeing him as a big fan of Next Fall (I think that’s the play?).

regardless, I think this is a good theater for it. A lot of the gags are to do with sight lines and this theater doesn’t have the boxes and stuff. 

So quick! Glad to see it! 

There have never been standards. It's business. 

Excited that that theater is getting some new life. Now we just need something at the Briar Street theater!

London is a different beast than NYC. Wages wise, Union wise, etc.

Six would need a Stage 42 vibe, it’s still a pop concert. I don’t think it would work as well in a tiny theater. I could see Oh Mary eventually shifting to maybe the theater across from The Public? Running for awhile on a variety of names. 

That's a pretty damn stacked creative team! 

I think we are also - which may be because of the current model - lacking in new composer talent. Besides Lin Miranda, there doesn't seem to be any big composers making new musicals. It's all teams of people we don't really know about - like Death Becomes Her. There does not seem to be anything exciting in the pipeline besides Sara B's new musical. 

Sure. I can understand your point, but I also don't think I get it? Like why be negative? This is a big deal for the Tony Awards and Broadway. So why cast a negative light on it? She's amazing. She's talented. She clearly cares for the community... I'm not seeing why you should have a negative opinion about it? 

Also she's still selling out the same places those artists are playing so..

As a non-Stan, yeah she would crush it. Too soon but def.
