• Brilliant!!! When you know the story and the music in advance

  Know the story in advance I saw Hamilton twice, slightly different cast, different seating, both times a fantastic experience. First of all, Mirandas score and lyrics are absolutely fantastic! To enjoy the performance, people should absolutely make themselves familiar with the story and the music on beforehand - otherwise, it must be really overwhelming. I heard the music several times, saw the film once and read part of the Chernow book, and all of this heightened the experience. The London cast was fabulous! On the first night, Jay Perry as Aaron Burr and the Adam J Bernard (understudy) as Hamilton. This was my favorite night. The second night, the Manaia Glassey-Ohlson as Aaron Burr and Alex Sawyer as Hamilton. They were excellent, I just personally favored the interpretation of Perry and Bernard. Of other actors, I was so very impressed with * Hume as George Washington! He absolutely embodied Washington, as general and as president * Yeukayi Ushe as Jefferson (and Lafayette) * Jordan Caste as Hercules Mulligan. His elegance & comedic wit!! Emily-Mae and Bente Mulan were excellent, their roles just give less possibility for the kind of individuality that other actors got to display in Jefferson and Mulligan. A note for Miranda's next work, maybe? Seating: * In early January, it was NOT hot! * I personally preferred being in Stalls, row B - I loved being so close to the actors and I had no problem with vision. I am tall, though, and did not have a tall person in front of me. Good leg space (am 175 cm) * Second night I was in Royal Circle, row B and that was uncomfortable leg space-wise. There were a few things that I saw better than from the stalls, but there were also things I saw from stalls that were not visible when in Royal Circle. Do go watch it - unless you dislike rap and political history!

  Unbelievable, never seen performance like it. Would recommend reading up a bit about the history first in order to follow the story.

  Our first ever west end musical and it literally took our breath away. The talent on strange was unbelievable. We laughed, cried and got sucked into every single word. We have already looked at our next show and can say for certain we will be watching this again. The venue was beautiful, it looked like something from a museum or historical stately home. All staff were friendly and helpful. Only downside was the queuing for the toilets but that’s to be expected for any venue/event like this.

  

  

  

  

  

• Clever but not for me

  Hamilton the musical, well thats debateable bar a small portion the whole show is pur over as a kind of rap which unfortunatly at times was incoherant and difficulr to understand and after a few hours of this i found it to be just noise, that said the breaks from the rap from king george and liza were welcomed and very good, the cast as a whole are very good, the concept of he show is a clever idea being a rap but the subject is quite dry was i entertained, partially, would i see it again ..no. could i reccommend it, not with any conviction.

  My wife.and I attended for a Matinee performance. My wife enjoyed the performance more than I did. I thought the rap type dialogue difficult to follow and muddled. The cast tried their best, but if its entertainment your after for me this is not the show to see.

• Hugely Disappointing Indeed!!

  Don’t Bother!! Booked for my husband’s 40th and we were both looking forward to seeing this. Well, I lasted about 30mins in there and ducked out to the foyer, my husband got to the interval and we jointly decided we had seen and heard enough and left without looking back! It was loud, the singing and rapping was so unclear the story line is impossible to understand and follow. The acting is like what you’d expect from second year drama school students and one of the lead female singers had a really edgy, screechy voice. It was a real disappointment for a West End musical and a waste of time and money. There’s many good productions in the West End so don’t waste your time with this one!

  I expected to see the stage with my front row seat but it was HIGH above me! Without a view of more than heads it was a crushing blow to what should have been a highlight of my trip. Acting and music were fabulous!
