Complete: 1. See Hamilton

It was amazing.

While fantastic, the cast album just doesn't do the play justice. It's really only half the story. It was so cool to see the action that accompanies the music and get the full picture. The turntable stage is superbly utilized and the choreography was amazing.

It was interesting to see different actors playing the roles, and getting their interpretations of the characters. It was also super weird because I love the recording so much.

Hubster likened it unto a book-to-movie adaptation where you get certain images in your head and then you see how they interpret it. Along with that, there were a lot of "surprise" moments that you just don't get any sense of with just the music. I don't want to spoil anything, but they were just great.

There were also many tears shed. That orphanage!

Overall, it was super great. 10/10 would recommend. We might just have to see it again when it comes to Utah. :)
