Everyone back together again after 30 years, us taking one last look at the Hamilton steps they walked down on - they won't be coming down those stairs again. Michael Grief's staging of the numbers been OBC and newer cast felt a bit Follies ghost esque. As did the conceptual mirror between the RENT set and the Hamilton set. Watching the OBC inhabit the character at this old age and not forgetting the past feels very Old/Young dynamics happening at the same time. Some of the emotions were so strong it reminded me of John McMartin in The Road You Didn't Take at the Sondheim birthday concert. I did find the whole thing very overwhelming. Stuff like this rarely happens and who knows when if ever, it will happen again.
