Hamilton - The Musical

I just finished watching it. Speechless…

My sentiments exactly. I saw it Friday and then watched it again Saturday! Then bought the cast recording and have listened to THAT almost twice through! I cannot get enough - forty some-odd songs and not one of them is bad!

Alexander Hamilton speaks to us even now:

“There are seasons in every country when noise and impudence pass current for worth; and in popular commotions especially, the clamors of interested and factious men are often mistaken for patriotism.” - Alexander Hamilton (Oct. 26, 1778)

I bought the cast album last night so I could keep listening to it without streaming it on Prime. The album is the entire play, all 2 hours plus. I think the only thing not there is the bit where the letter arrives from John Laurens’ father, telling Hamilton of John’s death.

I wonder if Disney plans to sell a DVD of it. I’d buy it …

That, and Eliza’s scream.

Have y’all heard The Muppets do Hamilton?

Act 1

Act 2

I caught those. They were neat.

The whole structure of the poem reminded me of Hamilton a bit.

We watched the movie “Hamilton” on Disney+. I hate musicals, and I loved it. :blush:
