[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saw it last night (also saw with original cast in NY). Loved Hamilton, hated the effeminate Burr, except for his solos when he stood/sat mid-stage  (has a great voice!).  Fantastic production, I laughed, I cried, BUT: my biggest challenge was the lack of height in many of the lead characters.  Dumb, I know, and maybe it's because of having seen it in NY where Washington and Jefferson and Burr were so strong/present/commanding/TALL, but I struggled with their lack of height/strength last night.  Maybe because DCs Hamilton is so tall compared to Lin Manuel Miranda? I don't know, but it definitely bothered me.

The ladies all wowed, especially Peggy/Reynolds.  Had the understudy for Angelica, and while she could sing, she didn't articulate very well (and I know every word, every note, every character), and was difficult to understand.[/quote]

I noticed the height thing also. I agree it’s because the DC Hamilton is much taller than Maranda. Although I think that works better. He is supposed to be such a ladies man and while LMM is obviously incredibly talented[b] the whole idea of the women being struck down by his looks and charisma[/b] isn’t really there for me.

I think if you met Lin in person than you would see his charisma and charm.  He may not be your type but, he is cute and better looking than the majority of people out there.[/quote]
