The Daily Something

So... I've mentioned a few times that I kind of like Hamilton... just a little bit... lol. JK that is an understatement... I LOVE it! Anyway, I really can't say enough good things about this play or the cast... it's just even better than the hype! I saw it on a Sunday... and Sunday is a little bit different for Hamilton. They have a different actor playing Hamilton... which is pretty cool actually. The guy that I saw was AMAZING and it was his Broadway debut! So it gives actors that are lesser known a fair chance to be a star on the hottest show on broadway. The cast was pretty star-studded in general if you ask me though... maybe not the biggest stars, I'm sure they all will be big stars when they're done with this... but yeah. Jordan Fisher was in Greece Live and he was in a Disney Channel Musical, he played John Laurens and Phillip Hamilton. Taryn Killam from SNL played King George. The woman that played Angelica was Nina in the original cast of In The Heights....

So I know its not easy to get tickets to see Hamilton... but I've listened to the soundtrack a few times and I have enough of a feel for it. I didn't think I'd want to see it live because I'm not a big fan of rap and I can't always understand it... and I figured I'd listen to the soundtrack, and I'd get to know the music so that sometime if I ever can get tickets I will understand it better. And listening to a soundtrack isn't quite the same as seeing a play... but it is pretty close. And its as close to seeing the play as I'll get for the time being. So right now, I feel like there are some things I didn't totally get, some characters I didn't really get to know very well that are probably featured more prominently in the play. There's a song about Burr's relationship with his child and there's mention of Eliza teacher Phillip how to play piano... and little things that I can't see so the characters aren't as well devel...

So I think this is the first time I'll ever have a play review on here... and thats pretty cool. I kind of got into blogging when I went to see the play Avenue Q with my sister and  I wanted to talk about that day and stuff like that... so blogging about plays is pretty special to me. This play is also kind of special to me. I've wanted to see it since I saw the commercials. I thought "This looks promising." Then I saw the performance on Jimmy Fallon and I loved that Shakespeare was in it and he was really hot and just really funny and I needed to see it. I've been following the Facebook page for a while. I knew by the time it was my birthday the original cast would still likely be in it and it just looked so cool and funny that I needed to see it. So I wanted to go mostly because I love Shakespeare, I've studied Shakespeare a lot. I've read 12 of his plays I think some multiple times (I've read Othello like 4 times and that's my favorite.) I k...
