I already have tickets to Hamilton in LA, but since we were in Chicago for a long weekend, I decided that our first time seeing Hamilton deserved a smaller theater than the Pantages.
We loved the show, of course, and were ecstatic at how well we could see the stage from our right box seats. I was initially apprehensive because they were "limited view", but the only things we couldn't see were bits happening on the far right side of the stage.
The only person out was Daniel Breaker, and Colby Lewis covered his part. From reading through this thread, people have seen Lewis as Layfayette, Washington and Madison, but no one has mentioned his Burr, so I have no idea how often he's done it. He screwed up the words a few times, including during Wait For It, which took me out of it a bit. But other than a few lyrical missteps, I liked his mannerisms and the way he played Burr.
I loved Karen Olivo as Angelica (and was so glad to catch her before she leaves on Sunday), and Chris Lee was a perfect Jefferson. And while I am sure most of the people on this board have seen the show before, it was really thrilling to see the staging for the first time.
We see the LA cast in a few weeks, so I am eager to see how they compare!
