As I've seen both Sydney and Austin as George Washington (and having read here how Austin is as Burr) I wonder how Sydney is as Burr.
I've been fortunate to see Leslie, Sydney, and Austin as burr. Sydney was fantastic. Going of what SleepWalker said, I found that Sydney was the perfect blend between Austin and Leslie. His acting choices were superb and his voice stood out above others. His voice may not be as silky smooth as Leslie's but it's still passionate, beautiful, and powerful. What I loved about him was he showed Burr's insecurities in a way most people do in real life. From the beginning he was cockier and less genuine when putting on a smile, covering up for how Burr really feels. But then after Room Where It Happens that mask comes off and you see the 180 burr made. Sydney's Burr before that change made the entire development more dramatic and I loved it. Leslie is a little more tender and subtle in his portrayal, almost like he doesn't want behave this way or make this change but feels like he has no other choice. Sydney, however, seemed more out of control like he could not stop it from happening. Both incredible. With Austin, his indecision and hesitancy came off as bored and just going through the motions. It lacked energy all over.
