For Real Questions From My NY Trip Last Week — Page 2

1. I've seen Hamilton three times, but all with Lin, so I can't compare Javier's Hamilton to Lin's. But I thought Lin gave an incredible performance every time. The breadth of his character, how he showed the different facets of Hamilton's personality, emotional range and subtlety in different scenes-- incredible. Yes, he is a less gifted singer than Leslie, but looking at these two performances specifically I personally would go with Lin over Leslie.



I also loved the Crucible. It took me a little while to sink into the production and lose myself in it, but then once it clicked I was spellbound...er...ok, bad pun. But I thought it was great and am seeing it a second time this week.
