HAMILTON to Perform on This Year's Grammy Awards! — Page 3

What! I have to post with a "no-sarcasm" tag now? LOL! No, my comment was completely genuine and maybe just had too many superlatives, lol.

I purposely avoid show content so that it can still feel fresh when I eventually get to experience it live. But I do watch interviews, Ham4Ham shows, etc. It may be years before a reasonable price is easily accessible on Broadway. Accepting this truth is less heartbreaking for me, so I've decided to be patient instead. :)

As a relative newbie to theater, I'd never heard of Lin before last year (well honestly, I hadn't heard of MOST people before last year). How many times did I watch Lin's cameo as the Loud Hailer? And "Button Gwinnett" with Stephen Colbert? Too many times. And 2014 Tonys opening and ending, I practically had that on repeat and sure as heck didn't know Lin wrote those back then!

This performance will probably be the only Grammys-related thing I watch.

Maybe they'll include James Corden and Rosie:

The Late Late Show.

But people want to be in the room where it happens. Clearly CBS wants to bring the room to anyone who wishes to.

Good for you, Hamilton.

BRAVO and well said.

Certainly, anyone who has seen "too much" Hamilton can use that time to fetch an adult beverage and prepare for another segment of the show. I, for one, will actually watch a television program I haven't bothered with in a long time in order to see this. How is that bad (for anyone)?

"My Shot" is rather poetic in its lyrics, especially in the Hamilton monologue chunk.

Which Hamilton track would you say could be used as poetry reading? Some friends are holding a poetry night and since I don't write I figured it'd be neat to share one of the Hamilton tracks as a reading. I get that the songs were written to be rapped/sung but hip hop is so poetic in itself I figured it could be done. Thanks for the help!"

How about The World Was Wide Enough or at least part of it? Hamilton's part after the shot is fired already sounds a bit like "spoken word."

Lin was pretty clear on Twitter that by opening number he meant "Alexander Hamilton" not opening the Grammys. But it's pretty funny think the show would be upset over Taylor Swift upstaging them.

Speaking of "Alexander Hamilton" I think that would probably be the best song to do at a poetry reading. Don't forget, Lin debuted the song originally at a poetry event in the White House.
