dove back into the hamilton pool last night for my sixth viewing of the SF cast. four subs were in, including for eliza and angelica, so it was fun to see the cast with different players.
Jennie Harney was in as Eliza Hamilton
Her performance was just simply show stealing.
acting 10, singing 10, stage presence 10, owned the role 10
i think it was one of her first performances as Eliza. There was much more emotion during both their sons death and the foregiveness scenes, largely due to the power of her acting. everyone around me was waterworks city.(ok i cried too)
Would love to hear more about her and why she isn't better known yet.
She appears in the playbook listed as having the role Eliza Hamilton (not a standby or understudy), so it seems she may be replacing Solea Pfieffer on the tour????
what a gift...have got to go see her again before the show leaves for LA.
julia harriman was in for angelica and she has a stunning melodic voice and plays angelica much softer than Emmy, with lots of strength and more femininity (that may have been more likely imo subject to the time period of the show being portrayed) I liked both versions of angelica and think i preferred Julia's portrayal. the sisters chemistry and singing were very good. Jacob guzman played charles lee and was great as well...lots of depth and talent in this cast.
