HAMILTON National Tour — Page 9

I wonder if Austin Scott will be moving to the Broadway company after Michael Luwoye leaves. Edred Utomi is absolutely wonderful as Alexander Hamilton.

I wouldn't be surprised given Michael's last performance is in about five weeks.

Edred was wonderful when I saw him. Glad he's getting to be lead Hamilton

Would love to know how Alexander Ferguson does as Hamilton.

Tre Frazier is the new Hamilton/Washington/Lafayette standby on the Angelica tour.

Finally saw Hamilton for the first time last Saturday night. (Ironically my computer died when I got home from the show and reading about it on Wikipedia). I really enjoyed it more than I thought. I did not go in with high expectations and my 4th row balcony seat was a better view than I thought. Was there times during the show that I didn't know what was going on due to the rap and/or historical events? Yes, but those were minor, and it was easy to follow the plot of the show. I enjoyed the music, especially the many reprises of the only song I knew and loved "Look Around" (Not title). The performances were top knotch especially the performers playing Burr, Eliza and Anjelica. I had Joseph Morales for Hamilton. Although he was very good, I felt our Burr was stronger. The only complaint I had was at times during the show, the woo girls and boys felt it was more important for them to scream out. I don't know if this is something that is consistent at other performances. Would I see Hamilton multiples times like many others on here? No, but I would definitely go back if I won the lottery and/or the tickets prices started to lower.

Saw the Angelica tour in Cincinnati last night. It was my third time (previously saw it in Chicago, and the Philip tour in Cleveland). Overall I thought the cast was wonderful (the only understudy I had was for George Eacker), but the standouts to me were Bryson Bruce as Jefferson and Paul Oakley Stovall as Washington. Paul Oakley Stovall especially. I was blown away by his performance, he was just the right mix of gravitas and levity. And his stage presence was outstanding, I was drawn to him every time he was on.

So, I saw the show again last night. Three in NY (Munoz/Dixon, Luwoye/Breaker, McFerrin/Breaker), Atlanta with Angelica tour (Scott/ Christopher), and finally, last night, in Dallas with the Philip tour. Most of the cast was intact except for Eliza and Hamilton (Sunday night, natch). Walker was excellent as Burr but I have to say that standby Pierre Jean Gonzalez was absolutely tremendous as Hamilton. Ten times better than McFerrin was, for my money. Right on time with all the spoken and sung parts, with a convincing and nuanced portrayal of the character. I also thought that Elijah Malcomb made a very, very good Laurens/Philip. Someday if Medina (whom I love) leaves the NY cast, I would not be unhappy to see this bundle of young talent end up there. he also has a beautiful singing voice (not hear that much in this role, of course).



Is five times enough? Or will I buy tickets again in Fort Worth next summer? To be determined...

I kind of went through the process, so I hope my opinion helps. When Hamilton went on sale for Orlando, I was in the waiting room, but it was a wait of at least two hours. I could not devote that much time so I disconnected. Found out later the system crashed, (which it could happen in Oklahoma City) and I would have wasted all that time sitting/ waiting. My advice is to go to the box office (which I couldn't do, due to a 4 hour roundtrip drive). Although you won't be guaranteed of your spot in line, you are kind of more in control of whether or not you are able to purchase a ticket.

Miles, when I first logged on, it only took a minute or so, to enter the waiting room. I thought to myself, well that was easy. Once I was in the waiting room, (if I remember correctly) it said your wait is over two hours. It never gave a specific time. Of course I could have been there for hours and nothing happened. Later I read before the system crashed, people were waiting well over 5 hours.
