Let's talk about the new hit broadway musical, Hamilton!
Favorite songs?
Characters?
Personally, I like King George's numbers a LOT. I was kind of slow on Angelica and Eliza's songs, but they've grown on me, especially Take a Break. I literally LOL'd at a handful of parts my first listen -- especially when Lafayette comes blasting in spitting hot fire with a French accent.
-
I would see this

Me too. Unfortunately it's sold out on Broadway for the foreseeable future. Tickets for Chicago go on sale soon.
In the mean time, Spotify has all the songs.
-
hey dlew,
i think this is the best musical since les mis.
wait for it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReTP6x_sDiM) is my fav.
your obedient servant (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1NmdB_kXO8) is hilarious.
i can't wait for the gE pak where we tailgate this show and riot down michigan avenue afterward.

I've been listening almost exclusively to just Hamilton over the last week, and there are 15 or so songs that I think could be in my top 3 songs from the show.
-
I'd bet my life that Pete and michigancat and 8mp will love Hamilton.

I missed this thread, but DLew was telling me about it the same day. WOW! Really good stuff, can't wait to see it on stage.
-
It looks really good. I would see it.
-
Would also want to see it. It and Book of Mormon back to back would be a great time.

Is Hamilton like a serious musical or is it more like Book Of Mormon? Do you think Gooch would like it based on the quote below?
I would see more musicals if they were funny and said "eff" and talked about clitorises.

It's definitely not Book of Mormon, but it doesn't take itself quite as seriously as Les Mis or something like that either. It's not so much funny as it is clever.

I really love the suite of songs starting with "Burn" through "It's Quiet Uptown"... So heartbreaking

"Best of Wives and Best of Women" is equally heartbreaking.
-
Yes! Burn and It's Quiet Uptown are mostly what I've been listening to lately. The strings in it's quiet uptown at the "forgiveness, can you imagine" part are so good.
-
PurpleBear4 has told me that he just has to show me a song and then played the opening song of Hamilton the last 8 times I've seen him.
-
I'm basically in love with Phillipa Soo and Renee Elise Goldsberry and all of their songs

Take a Break is probably my number 1 song
-
Great performance last night. Loved how crazy the audience went for it.
-
Broadway shows are the best. I've got some great stories from trips there.
-
My brother saw it last month and was telling me it was one of the best current musicals. Maybe my brother is a secret Grammy voter :surprised:

it's the best musical I've ever heard. and I like a lot of musicals.
-
Heard a lot of talk about it but haven't listened or anything. I'm guessing I'd enjoy it a lot but it seems like a big hassle to get tickets and stuff.

spotify, son. it's basically an opera so you don't miss out on much by just listening to it.
-
yeah this thing is incredible. Satisfied is my favorite song. also the cabinet battles are pretty enjoyable.

if you really wanna get a full experience (stick with me here) it might help to read the lyrics while listening. I remember on my first listen I was a little confused as to who was speaking sometimes.
-
So the conservative am radio lady this morning was calling for a boycott because the casting call asked for non-white actors only and she's sick of reverse racism and asked what would happen if there was a musical of mlk and it only used white actors
-
tried to get tickets for November, appears to be totally sold out and cheapest available on ticketmaster is $400+ so no thanks.
-
Is the whole thing singing or is it like Frozen where there is some talking and some singing?
-
King George is played by a white gentleman.
Is the whole thing singing or is it like Frozen where there is some talking and some singing?
It's essentially an opera. All singing. Think Phantom of the Opera, Les Mis, Rent....That sort of thing.
I'm seeing it in November with my mom. :shy:
-
it is not an opera, dlew :lol:
-
I'm seeing it in November with my mom. :shy:
well aren't you sooooo special

We're slumming it in a matinee performance. Hopefully the other cretins in attendance don't ruin it.

Well the entire thing is sung/rapped. That's pretty much an opera.

pretty sure there's white people in the original cast. :dunno:
-
Fav songs depend on the day. Lots of good ones. Listening to Stay Alive, One Last Time, Washington On Your Side a lot. Love switching between the war songs and the politics songs.
Favorite part right now- ATTACK! RETREAT! ATTACK! RETREAT!

Interesting. I'm not a huge fan of any of those numbers, with the exception of stay alive. OH I'M SORRY, IS THIS NOT YOUR SPEED?!
Non-Stop has to be my favorite. Quiet Uptown is definitely top 5. Lately Who Tells Your Story has been a frequent listen.
"In their eyes I see YOU, Alexander. I see you every time." :bawl:
Also, I can rap the entire first verse of My Shot. Pretty boss.

So this is the theatre thread, cool.
-Just left Book of Mormon, imagine my surprise when looking at the Playbill and seeing half the cast being black. It was hard at first for me to get past Mormons being the butt of the joke, but I got over it, the show was awesome.
-I've heard some of the music from Hamilton and have seen a few clips and it looks like I may be overrated, but I will be seeing it here in DSM this year.
-I saw Wicked in London, it was awful, I hated it.
-Rent is the best musical I've ever seen, just amazing music.

Several other GE'rs saw BoM in Des Moines this weekend also :surprised: .
I don't know what to tell you about Hamilton. I was hooked from the very start. Maybe it's not for everyone.
Rent is awesome. I listen to the songs very often. Although I prefer the movie OST to the original stage production.

What's your favorite song from Rent? I think mine is probably Another Day.

We went to BoM Thursday night in DSM expecting to have a blast and we did. I'd seen it before but didn't enjoy it any less. Elder Cunningham was exceptional, better than the original and the one I saw in NYC, imo.
-
-Rent is the best musical
-
-I saw Wicked in London, it was awful, I hated it.
:sdeek: I love Wicked. I saw it in Wichita so I would assume the London show was even better. Actaully it is coming back to Wichita in October so I will probably see it again. (I also the read the book and the musical is MUCH different but I like them both.)
I would like to see Rent but when your husband doesn't like musical theatre (or any theatre) it makes it more difficult to go to shows. :frown:

Elphaba had an amazing voice but the story line was waaay to syrupy, when the Wizard of Oz has a harder edge you have a problem. The end to Wicked is the most outrageous thing I've ever seen. If I were prepared for Wicked to be appropriate for my 5 year old I might have thought differently about it, it was essentially a cartoon made into a stage show. Speaking of cartoon made into a stage show, have you seen the original Broadway cast? :surprised:
Tell Gooch to stop being a dumbass about musical theatre, like movies some are good and some blow. Rent is a modern story, compared to most musicals anyway. It has someone getting his ass kicked, pretty women, aids, death, etc. If you like NYC and I know he does, you'll like Rent.

Yeah, the story covered about 5% of what happened in the book plus they changed a bunch of stuff. The actual story of the book is much better/darker/more developed.
But I like all the songs in the musical.
Gooch did like Book of Mormon but he was meh about Avenue Q. Those are the only two that I have talked him into seeing.
-
i saw Wicked on Broadway in 2011 and it was v good
-
I talked about this in the movie thread, but I watched Carousel the other night and I would not recommend it.
I'm trying to brush up on some of the classics that I haven't seen. I think West Side Story is next (embarrassed that I've never seen any version of this), then maybe South Pacific.
-
I have performed as an adult in junior versions of Into The Woods, Wizard of Oz, Schoolhouse Rock Live, and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
-
Into the Woods was a stupid movie.
Was pretty LOL in that my wife hates musicals and we were at the theater and they start singing and she was like, "wait, is this a musical?!???" :lol:
-
Its a great show that didn't translate into film very well at all, not sure why anyone thought it would have, bad concept.

this is one of the great numbers in musical theater, imho. right up there with One Day More and Climb Every Mountain and Can You Feel The Love Tonight.
-
best musical experiences:
1. Once, The Musical - this show will shake you up. it's not a love story, it's a life story. is that cheesy? eff you, you haven't had feelings till you see this musical.
2. Newsies - it's good cause it has tons of action and you wish you had a cause and could dance.
3. Les Mis - you wish you had a cause and a love story for the ages and could sing.
4. RENT - a person could see this show eight times and it would mean more every time, i bet. it's about "friendship" and "love" like Shawshank Redemption is about "redemption."
5. whatever - other stuff has pretty songs, but no rough ridin' heart.

I was asking whether the list you compiled only consists of musicals you've seen live.

The Phantom movie is better than Moulin Rouge.

Has anyone seen the musical BIG FISH?

That's a garbagey line up. Hooch, I'm begging you not to go to Wicked, you'll want to walk out and it only gets worse, the finish may ruin musical theater for you forever. Once is good and Stomp is near the top of the list of shows I've never seen but I wouldn't consider that musical theatre.

Refer Madness was pretty good last week except for the one weirdo ponytail guy that was twice as old as everyone else on the stage. #PED's were a clutch add to these shows.
Edit - I even agreed to go to another one in December!

Which side? Those making a plea to their elected official to treat all ppl equally, the elected official leaving while being addressed by his constituents, or the president elect demanding an apology from his constituents for making a plea to be treated equally? Which.is pathetic? Maybe this should be a poll to let gE'ers fully understand who understands the roll of govt.

Obviously the hamlet cast. Duh.

I thought what the cast member said was very well reasoned and said.

Nope, very divisive language

Yeah, I listened to the "slam" that was being said, and of course it was nothing but a well said and reasoned statement, but of course wackybutts gets butthurt about it.

It's not the statement itself but the context. I take no offense at what was said, and it was well reasoned. The problem I have is it is one of the most direct examples of people in the entertainment business using their entertainment platform to express their personal beliefs.
They have every right to express themselves freely, and the statement was thoughtful.
And people have every right to feel that entertainment and politics should be kept separate.
This is a difficult time is America. It seems that everyone has reasons to feel aggrieved.

what reality are you living in? It's inherently a political show. It's a show designed to give voice to actors of color. It's a pro immigrant show. One of the leads is an openly gay, HIV positive, performer. All of these people are directly targeted by Pence's history of hate legislation. Go look up what that assailed tried to do with Ryan White health legislation and tell me they should not speak their mind when the veep is in their audience.

eff that. people with a platform are obligated to use it. the confluence of politics and entertainment is nothing new, going all the way back to Aristophanes and even further. there is a large segment of our society that doesn't have a voice, nor a platform to speak from. the cast of Hamilton wasn't only speaking for themselves but also many others and their message should be heard.
-
shame on them for luring him there and making him go to their play.

I find it kind of odd that he would want to attend that play, knowing what it is. Pretty sure this whole thing was a 5D chess move by Trump to take attention away from all the horrible things he is doing.

We saw "Beautiful, the Carol King Story" on Sunday and it was absolutely incredible, second best musical I've ever seen. The music was great, I really didn't know anything about King going into the show but she, her husband, and her friends had massive influence on music in the 60's, 70's, and 80's; they seemingly wrote for everyone in pop music. Anyway the story was decent, it wasn't suspenseful even though I knew nothing about the woman. But as previously mentioned the music was amazing and the set design and costumes might have been better, writing was also good.
Beautiful, was just an amazingly fun two hours, watch it.

Anyway the story was decent, it wasn't suspenseful even though I knew nothing about the woman. But as previously mentioned the music was amazing and the set design and costumes might have been better, writing was also good.
Beautiful, was just an amazingly fun two hours, watch it.
Great to hear of new top notch show, glad you enjoyed it.
I saw RENT in Ft. Collins on the 3rd, I've been in the production before but hadn't ever seen it on stage. The cast was excellent, Maureen was sublime. One of the many things that makes RENT so great is audience participation. People were yelling and encouraging all of the numbers that called for it and you could see how much it added to the performance. I'm really hoping to catch the tour in mid-May in Chicago. ChicagoPak anyone?

That Chicago stop is a different tour that came here a couple of weeks ago. The tour that came here had ensemble actors singing the solos in seasons of love, I found that to be odd.

Sure!
Also, I guess it isn't technically musical theater, but I'm going to see the Joffrey Ballet's Nutcracker on Saturday! :billdance:

Just saw Kinky Boots in London, wow wow wow wow. The music was great, the story was fun, and the choreography was elite. Must watch for anyone.

Won the lottery tickets to Hamilton Chicago tonight!
-
Cool, I anticipate your review. I really don't trust everyone else's.
-
My kids started listening to the Hamilton soundtrack and I kind of hate it but it's always stuck in my head. So I listen to Life of Pablo to get it unstuck.
-
Like, something about Broadway-style rap just rubs me the wrong way.
-
That's the stuff I'm looking for, I feel like liberalism/white guilt is driving the Hamilton hype train. I heard a clip of one song and I was like :rolleyes:
-
Cool, I anticipate your review. I really don't trust everyone else's.
I thought it was really awesome. Then again, I've loved the music since I first listened to the soundtrack all the way through. If you don't care for the music, maybe you wouldn't like it? I love the story, the music, and the interwoven political and love stories.
It was really my first Broadway scale musical, all the others I've seen have been local (Theater in the Park / School / MAC) shows, so this blew that away. The staging and costume changes and dancing were all impressive. Wayne Brady as Aaron Burr was interesting. He's about a 7 singing next to a bunch of 8-10s, but he was a 10/10 performer. He's also only been on the production about a week or two. For me, George Washington and King George were the biggest surprises. I didn't think that much about them from the soundtrack, but they were both incredible. Hamilton played by Miguel Cervantes was great, a powerful singer and performer packed into an itty bitty tiny little person. Angelica and Eliza were both awesome singers.
The lottery tickets were front row, which is below stage level, so it was hard to see anything going on towards the back of the stage, so I'll probably go again in better seats, but I still had a great time. Mrs. 8mp is about 5'3", so she had an even harder time seeing what was going on.
That's the stuff I'm looking for, I feel like liberalism/white guilt is driving the Hamilton hype train. I heard a clip of one song and I was like :rolleyes:
I don't think that is what makes it a great show, but it probably helps with the hype. Certainly not worth judging on a clip of one song though.
:blah:
Tl,dr: Laughed, cried and enjoyed an awesome show! :th_twocents: :eye: :Woohoo:

if you go listen to "Satisfied" (no context necessary), and your emotional needle remains idle, Hamilton is probably not for you

I don't love the schuyler sisters numbers all that much. The "I've been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine" part is like nails on a chalkboard to me for whatever reason.
But I think it's a great musical, and like 8mp, I got obsessed with the soundtrack months and months before I ever saw it live. That said, if you're on the #fence about it, I'd definitely err on the side of seeing it.

Huge Hamilton fan. Don't really care for the love story parts. Ol' Lin took the most historical license with those, it appears. However, I believe he did a great job capturing the essence of many of the historical conflicts. And he did so in a fun way. Restoring with a new verse the ancient rhyme, as one famous turncoat was wont to say.

I haven't read much of this thread but knowing it was he that played Alvy on house makes me chuckle.

I saw Cats (revival) on broadway this week. I cried. Memories got me, man.
Saw School of Rock as well. Those kids!
Saw a really awkward improve murder mystery with like 20 other people off broadway. Won't do that again.
Seeing Phantom of the Opera Thursday afternoon to close this thing out.

Phantom and Cats are great, that looks like an excellent theatre trip. I've never seen School of Rock, kinda scared I won't like it even though I love music.

Man, I am going to win an award this year. We were supposed to fly back Tuesday, but they got a big store and all flights were cancelled, so we had a Wednesday flight. Then they cancelled that one, and can't get us out until Friday morning from Newark. It's been crazy.
-
dang dude. that's a lot of delays
-
i would watch a documentary about how school of rock went from dumbass movie to broadway runaway success

Phantom felt too long to me. It really did feel like a show from a different era, even though it premiered in 86. Gavin said that, I have been humming "Think of me" non stop.

what does spiderman have anything to do with hamilton? i just meant hamilton is universally adored with no backlash (except maybe some trumpers due to the pence dustup).
broadwayification? it was written as a broadway musical! do you like any musicals?

I've fallen behind on my reviews but I want to talk about Dear Evan Hanson. It was a very good musical. The writing is good, the music is excellent, but I'll never watch this again. It was a damming indictment of our society, how amazingly self-absorbed we've become. The thing is, I don't think whomever wrote this musical did it in mind of this being a cautionary tale. It almost felt to me that the abhorrent behavior, of literally every single character in the show, is excused. It attempts to be a dramedy but I didn't laugh one single time because I was uncomfortable from start to finish. It is the polar opposite of Wicked, which was sugary sweet with zero substance. Being the father of two tweens, and someone who works around kids, I'm already very angry about how we, as a society, have chosen to raise our kids. This was the manifestation of every awful thought I've ever had about Gen X'ers and millennials as parents.
-
Sounds like our guy MIR is "on the outside, always looking in" wondering if he'll "ever be more than [he's] always been."
Switching gears--I'm willing to engage in a good old fashioned Jean Valjean-Off if there are any Alfie Bowe-heads out there that want to get embarrassed in front of their message board friends.

I am taking the fam to London/Paris on a 2 week trip when school is out, and we are going to hit a couple shows in London. We are going to probably try and see the new Harry Potter (kids, man), and then see Les Mis the night before we depart for Paris on the second leg of the trip...get the juices flowing, ya know?

Saw Newsies at Theatre in the Park last night - it was unbelievably good. I was shocked at how good or a production it was.

Haven't caught Newsies yet. I haven't been to a show since January 2020

The over the top accents kill it for me, but songs are good and story is decent.

All musicals have choreography, most don't have dancing.

Anyway, for a “community theater” production, I was blown away that there were 20 some odd <25 year old men who could tap dance their balls off and do backflips and sing and stuff.
It’s a really fun show to boot.

I have now been to THREE musicals since moving to New York:
Company: Patti Lupone was amazing, "not getting married" was amazing, sets were great, lead and story were meh
Beetlejuice: Very funny but also very sweet and the set was great even if a few of the songs were boring.
Little shop of horrors: technically off-broadway and my least favorite. Like the sound mix was off! I'm paying $160 a ticket and I can't hear the vocals over the band???? Also the acting was bad/campy and not much landed with me. Also the plant puppet wasn't quite as impressive after seeing Beetlejuice
-
Also my family went to Chicago without me and said Pamela Anderson was really good! They said she clearly couldn't sing but made up for it in charisma
-
160 for Little Shop of Horrors? Jesus Christ.
Good to hear Patti Lupone is still doing the damn thing. Seeing actors I know on stage is definitely the best part of seeing shows in NYC. Not sure if it makes up for the prices, especially compared to prices of shows in London, but still cool nonetheless.
-
160 for Little Shop of Horrors? Jesus Christ.
It was a small theater on memorial day weekend and the lead was in the Pitch Perfect movies. Are London shows cheaper or more expensive?
-

Significantly cheaper. Like 30-40 pounds, and the theatres there are tiny and old. I'm definitely max sized for their seats. Whenever I go to shows in NYC, London, or Vegas I always use TKTS or an equivalent service.

Looking at TKTS for both cities, Phantom is the only show that had tickets available in both places, bear in mind it's after 10:00 there right now so their live listings are scarce, but they had phantom tickets in London starting at 25 pounds. The only phantom tickets in nyc on TKTS are currently running $83.

Won a Tony tonight!
-
I'm thrilled for her but I'd also like to point out that The Tony's are the most pretentious, niche awards ever. I love musical theatre but never watch. You have to be completely in to current Broadway shows for it to make any sense. Unlike the academy awards and the emmys 99.99999% of Americans have seen none of these shows even fewer have seen a significant amount of them. There is a whole ass awards show for a small sector of Manhattanites and mid town Londoners.
-
I think of the Tony's like less of an award show and more of like a James Beard award. I feel like the designation is a fair indication of quality, even though no one really follows or cares about the process leading up to it.
-
i have been absolutely murdering the Dear Evan Hansen soundtrack lately after it exploded into my awareness earlier this year. cannot get enough. also watched the movie version on HBO :love: haven't had a chance to see the live musical tho.

yes! all were great.
Hamilton: spectacular, no surprise.
Parade: wanted to see it because of Ben Platt. amazing vocals throughout the cast. incredibly powerful story.
Harry Potter: didn't know that much about it, thought it was a musical, nope! just a play, but amazing production. story/plot is kind of bonkers but incredible experience.
i also added Sweeney Todd at the last minute which was great, Josh Groban! but i thought Annaleigh Ashford stole the show.

hang on josh groban is playing sweeney todd on broadway?
-
yes, and Gaten Matarazzo from Stranger Things plays the kid.
-

What in the actual eff. I need to see this. Who plays Johanna?
-
my wife went to Pamela Anderson in Chicago and said she did a pretty good job! It's crazy to me how often A-list celebrities are on Broadway
-
when josh groban tries to kill somebody with a knife do they just laugh at him?
-
also an interesting New York thing is Broadway shows are advertised all the time, and the ads are always absolutely terrible and would make you want to avoid the show if at all possible. And they are all produced in like the exact same style, it's so bizarre.

I saw Newsies at the historic Missouri Theater in St Joseph Missouri last summer. It was incredibly good. And I don't even like the movie that much. It was my wife's favorite movie as a child so I've seen it many times.
I like that they talk in between songs. I don't like things where they sing the whole entire time, like Hamilton. It's like, just calm down and talk for a minute omg.

Idk if it's the proper term, but I refer to the "only singing" musicals as "operas." Phantom and Les Mis are like that too.
I saw Newsies at Shawnee Mission Park last summer and was blown away. For an amateur/local production, it was extremely impressive.

I assume that’s mostly just because over the top stereotypes are kind of their schtick. It’s definitely racist compared to modern musicals but completely typical for a South Park episode.

I didn't see this at all. I was hesitant to see it initially because, although I have some issues with this get down, I didn't want to see two hours of anyone's religion being mocked and was happy to see it wasn't that. I didn't have an issue with how the Africans were portrayed. They weren't meant to depict all Africans, just those who would be visited my missionaries.

well, you also saw it like 7 years ago. I also just read "Africa is not a Country" based on kat kid's recommendation and it did a good job highlighting a lot of the racist tropes about Africa and Book of Mormon basically ticked all the boxes.

I've been hitting some shows happening with KC Fringe Fest. I saw Tuneabomber last night which is a musical based on an alternate Unabomber who wanted to be a performer. It was a lot of fun. It probably has a few more shows over the next couple of days if KC folks were interested. I saw a couple of non-musical shows with Fringe that were both pretty meh.

got tickets to see Hamilton in London next summer. the fam is pretty excited. okay, I'm excited also.

Beetlejuice: What a pleasant surprise this musical was for me. Easily in the top 5 musicals I've seen. Just enough emotion to keep the story interesting, but otherwise a combination of offbeat comedy and catchy music with pretty good choreography at points.
