southsider2k5 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 It debuts on Friday on the Disney plus streaming service. Anyone else seen the show live and/or looking forward to this as much as I am? The previews seem like it will do the stage version justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really liked movies that are just the staged musical but I've heard this does a good job and obviously is cool for people who never had it play near them.

As a literal Hamilton junkie, I was kind of thinking the same thing when this was announced. I was excited to see the original broadway cast (I saw the show in Chicago 7 different times, 3 by winning the lottery, but never saw it in NYC), but thought it would kind of be the same staging as is typical of the filming of a broadway show. The previews they have ran so far give me a lot of hope that they are doing to do the show justice by utilizing tons of angles and not just the simple ones typical of these shows. I have gotten WAY more excited in the last week. The Trib's critic said it was literally the best staging of a broadway show to movie he has ever seen.

Yeah the trib article was what made me think I would tune in, otherwise I'd probably have skipped it. I was more than happy with the chicago version, and was lucky enough to see the original aaron burr before he left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our first time we actually got to see Wayne Brady as Aaron Burr, and holy crap was he incredible. We saw 4 different ones over the time the show was here, and he blew everyone else away.

I think Burr is always the star of the musical since it's such a good role but he was incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have watched him his entire career starting with when Whose Line is it Anyway came to the United States. I was still blown away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron883 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Man, I regret being so lazy about the Hamilton lottery, seeing as you won 3 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I didn't think it was for me but it is pretty incredible. I was more into the choreography and structure than the actual story. Just so flawless and quite the feat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I watched it friday. It was a very good film production. That said, it feels a lot longer watching as a movie than at the theatre, where the intermission also does a lot more for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I can watch Jonathan Geoff portray King George for hours on end. "You'll be back" was my favorite song. Overall it was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
