Aw! You made it in! Did you end up sitting or getting SRO as mentioned planning on the Cancellation Line thread. I wish I could have wheeled my mom's hospital bed to the line!
You've been there several times recently, how many shows are you up to so far?
I need to treat a nurse friend of mine to the show because she was able to advise me by phone on what was going on with my mom more than the nurses at the hospital with her! She's been waiting to see Hamilton and when mom gets out and into rehab, I may need to do a cold night on the line as a thank you! At least that way, I get to go again =)

I was there! Absolutely incredible performance from him, as usual. You could really feel the power and weight he was putting behind every word this time. He got really big applause on his entrances both in the opening and during Right Hand Man. He seemed to be very emotional the whole show and I could see him tearing up at some points. One Last Time, especially, was just something else last night. People applauded as soon as he sang the line "one last time" for the first time in the song. His riffs at the end were amazing, and everyone leapt to their feet right after for a long ovation that had to be cut off by the start of the next song, otherwise I think it would've gone on forever lol. He got a solo bow at the end of bows tonight, as well as an ensemble member (not sure of his name) who must have been leaving that day as well.
As for the rest of the cast: Thayne Jasperson was on for King George III (for I believe the second time?). I thought he was hilarious and did a really lovely job. His facial expressions were crazy over the top and funny, but physically he remained very poised and statuesque, which I thought was a fun take on the role.
Javier Muñoz as Hamilton was great as usual, although I was disappointed that he was on since I had been hoping to see Michael Luwoye, the alternate who usually performs on Sundays. Lexi Lawson is fine as Eliza - she does a nice job, but nothing about her stands out to me. Mandy Gonzalez as Angelica is absolutely incredible. Her riffs on Satisfied are out of this world, and I think she brings a really nice emotional take to the role. Seth Stewart as Lafayette/Jefferson is not good in my opinion and is the weak link of this cast. Brandon Victor Dixon isn't my favorite as Burr, despite how talented he is. His voice on Wait For It and Room Where It Happens is amazing, but I don't really like his acting choices in the role.
