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.

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.

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?

Quote from: Gooch after watching Book Of Mormon

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.

DQ12 · « **Reply #13 on:** January 20, 2016, 10:16:05 AM »

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.

hatingfrancisco · « **Reply #18 on:** February 16, 2016, 11:01:34 AM »

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

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.
