Hamilton DC cast

I think the women of the case held up to the original broadway cast better than the men, but they men were still impressive. The DC cast Burr played the role with a weaseley tone of voice that bothered me at first (being used to the smoothness of Leslie Odom), but it grew on me and it still fit the character very well.

I thought the DC Burr was whiny. Austin Scott is a much better singer than LMM but LMM has emotional expression and nuance that Scott doesn’t even touch. Work!

Completely agree with both of you. Although Scott is strong musically, no one inhabits the character the way Lin does!

Everyone in our section was giddy and excited before/during/after. Lots of participation.
Also, lots of applause for “immigrants get the job done”.

What do you mean by "participation"?

When Jefferson and Washington encouraged the audience to clap/respond.

DP. I haven't seen both to compare, but the Angelica tour company is fantastic, they definitely didn't feel like a tour company. I saw it with a friend who's a professional musician and who saw it on Broadway first, and his sacrilegious opinion was that Austin Scott is a better Alexander Hamilton than Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Sorry to ask the obvious given context, but...

Is Austin an immigrant?

We're all immigrants, except those of us who are descended from native Americans.

I think you must mean, "Is Austin Scott non-white?" Google is your friend.

No, sorry, you are very confused.

It's not the same to be an immigrant than to be a descendant of immigrants.

And Hamilton was an immigrant, which means he probably spoke with an accent, something like LMM does, and which Austin doesnt.

Are you xenophobic by any chance?

Everyone at that time spoke with what we would today consider an accent. And as an immigrant, Hamilton was by no means unusual- the majority of people living in the colonies were immigrants at that time.

Interesting. Jefferson and Washington did not do that at the performance I saw.

Some early Americans didn’t even speak English. The Dutch colonists/Americans continued to speak Dutch for generations. President Van Buren grew up speaking Dutch as his primary language.

And the English spoken at that time is closer to our current American accent than the current British accent.

Going to KC to see it in 2 weeks. I've never listened to the soundtrack. Do you think I should just go in blind or get to know some of the music before I go?
