Views on Hamilton? Saw it at the weekend with my 16 year old daughter and we absolutely loved it.
Interested in others views?
We will be going again!

Love love love it. Watched it a few times on Disney plus in late 2020, played the soundtrack to death and have seen it 3 times in the west end since theatres opened again post-Covid. Still play the soundtrack a lot. Fabulous!

Loved it. I particularly liked the snorkelling in the bays and the pink sand.

I've only ever watched it on Disney+. We were obsessed with it for a while, and I've always thought Daveed Diggs just lit up the stage whenever he was onscreen. I would have loved to see that cast live.

It's an interesting story that is only known because a woman wrote his biography. I would have liked her to have been the narrator of the musical instead of his killer. Hey ho.

Ah I found it long and quite boring! I have no real interest in the founding fathers nor much knowledge on the subject so it was a bit... dull.

Me too, everyone I went with loved it so thought it must just be me!

Which show did you watch? We saw Saturday matinée, I wondered if he was an understudy, I really enjoyed.

Yes same! I think he must have been an understudy and Burr too.

Loved it, but was glad to watch it on Disney+ first as didn't follow it at all first time. We had the understudy for Burr come on at the interval, not sure why but he got sound loud and very well deserved applause after his first song.

Glad I have seen it to tick off my musical list but wouldn’t rush to see it again. Was good (and yes glad I watched on Disney first as my knowledge of the founding fathers is fairly limited) but don’t feel I need to see it more than once live

I prefer In The Heights if going for a LMM show

Loved it. Going to see again on tour next year!

Hated every second of it...
when I first watched it, during lockdown, on Disney+, I didnt make it past act 1.

But I did go and see it live, in London, less than a year ago.

It sadly did not improve on my first impression. I hated the music, thought the lighting design was pretty weird and awkward, the choreography was also bizarre.
It is also not a subject matter I have a particular interest in...

It just wasnt for me at all
