Sound was not great. And it does lose something out of context. It looked like Lin was trying real hard to bring energy

I am one of the ones who have no interest what so ever, to see Hamilton. Tonight did nothing to change that. Glad people are loving it. Anything that gets butts into theatre seats is a good thing.

Damn, Jessie Mueller slayed that. I have / had no desire to see Waitress (friends want to see it)... but damn.

I'm basing my opinion off the performance I saw. That wasn't that great. Mueller just DESTROYED that song. Like, in a good way. Incredibly heart wrenching performance. Man, some great female performances this year.
I just hate that a lot of great shows and performances are getting over looked. Aren't we all about inclusion?

It's not going to piss anyone off, dude. It is a sure thing and obviously deserves it, but some people see it as the end-all-be-all. There have been great musicals before this and there will be great ones in the future.

They're on the way out. What else are they doing?"
Are you kidding me? Obama is still the President, in a very fragile and volatile country which sees acts of terror on a frequent basis. Michelle has actually also been a very active FLOTUS who's been shaping this country's nutritional habits. Their continued efforts will affect this country and generations to come. "What else are they doing?" is not only ignorant, it's genuinely disrespectful.

Waitress and the Color Purple had the two best performances of the night. Let your divas SING other shows!

I have no desire to see Hamilton, the number they did assured me I don't. I'm not bragging about not caring for it. However, really, people paying thousands to see it? No show on the face of the earth is worth that to me. No show is even worth $100 to me. HOWEVER, lol, I'm very happy that theatre art is doing so well!
Long live theater!!!!!

I do really want to see Hamilton because I feel like I am missing out on something just seeing these performances and listening to the cast recording. I don't hate it, but it doesn't excite me as much as other shows I have seen such as School of Rock or Shuffle Along.
And Waitress just made me want to see it again.

Yeah people don't care about the Hamilton hype but they're falling all over themselves to say how much they don't want to see it

I've seen that performance on the bootleg, and I think it loses something when all the lights are up and you can see the entire stage. In the show they use spotlights to highlight certain dancers and it's very effective. And yeah, the cast seemed kind of out of breath and nervous.
But, I'm really enjoying the evening so far! There's a lot of positive energy in that theater tonight.

So thrilled by that Waitress performance. Loved seeing Sara on stage and Jessie just slayed that number as usual. Just shows you again how deep that Best Actress category is this year.

If the album doesn't grab you then I don't know if seeing it is going to change your mind.

Would have been nice to hear Bebe sing the ending of JAZZ.
