Hamilton in Chicago — Page 23

I saw the Chicago company shortly after it opened. To date Josh Henry is in a tie with Nicholas Christopher as my favorite Burr, and Karen Olivo is my favorite Angelica. I hope to get out there to see it one more time before it closes.

How was Paris Nix as Lafayette/Jefferson?

Paris Nix is FABULOUS. I saw him on his very first night and was impressed that he debuted so strong. Then I went at the end of May and he was even more amazing-- just so charismatic and equally good in both parts, which I think a lot of people struggle with. I think he's currently my second favorite in Chicago, behind Miguel Cervantes. I really hope he's able to transfer after Chicago closes.

Is this the dreaded seat behind a pillar?



I tripled check to make sure it wasn't and I still don't trust it. Haha"



Looks like there will be a pole in your view in at least some capacity:

Seat 2 shouldn't be directly behind it but it'll definitely obstruct some of the stage.

Saw this tonight for 1st time & have to add to the chorus - very impressed by both Miguel Cervantes and Paris Nix. Audience adored Tamar Greene (Wahington) and Andrew Call (King George). Sandra Okuboyejo was on as Angelica & I heard some people complain, but I thought she was good - but I only have the OBC recording to compare her too. Robert Ariza was on as Laurens/Philip & he & Cervantes look a lot alike, so they really felt like father & son.

Liked how with merch they have a special t-shirt that riffs on the Chicago city flag, as on a walking tour I did with 2nd City theatre (this is my 1st ever time in Chicago, so doing all the tourist stuff) the guide talked about what a big deal their city flag is locally.
