Have you guys listened to LOJ's new solo album yet? I checked it out yesterday, and I've been listening to it off and on today. It all sounds like lullabies to me. I feel like it doesn't showcase his voice.

(Sorry if it's already been discussed, I can't always keep up.)

Yes! It was finally available on Google play on Friday so I downloaded it. I told wambam I thought it sounded like the live jazzy music you get when you go to a fancy restaurant. It's nice background music but it doesn't really have any club bangers. It needs a "Guns and Ships"!

My brother has gotten really into Hamilton thanks to my incessant rambling about it. So much so that they named their new Corgi pup Hamilton (that's true). For your enjoyment:

Agreed re: background music.  I could listen to it at bedtime every night.  I like it, but it's just not catchy enough for me, I guess.  It's not what I was expecting.  I think his voice sounds SO DIFFERENT than when he's A. Burr.  A. Burr is all low and smooth and buttery, but LOJ as himself is significantly higher pitched, and every song seems really similar except for that one Brazil song.  I just don't think the album captures all that he is capable of.

Chris Jackson is going to be on A Capitol Fourth on Monday. Looks like Sutton Foster, Amber Riley, and the cast of On Your Feet are there too.

LOj is going to be hosting the Philadelphia July 4th festivities. I'm sure it's a good time, but unfortunately (?) for me, my dad has a lake house where I have spent every 4th of July possible throughout my life. I'm leaving tomorrow.

[Miss Phryne Fisher]

OMGAAAHH my friend Erin is at Hamilton tonight and SO IS HILLARY CLINTON! And BILL! She posted a pic on FB. Damn, I am so jealous of her right now. She is having the best birthday evah.

[Vespasia]

Apparently a cousin works for some fancy firm. A while ago his work took 600 employees to Hamilton and they had a Q&A with the cast afterwards.

Clearly I am doing life wrong.

[jennybee1018]

So July 9th is rapidly approaching and I'm curious to know who's replacing LOJ & Phillipa! Also, feeling mostly confident that everyone else is staying!!!! (Fingers crossed)!!!

I'm seeing it today unless my stubhub tickets aren't legit! I keep having fears that LOj won't be performing.

Most of the original cast isn't performing today

No LOj, no David Diggs, no Philipa Soo.

I would riot if I had tickets and didn't get to see LOj and DD. Philipa Soo and LMM, I love, but can do without if I have to.

When we were in line for last week's show, we were standing next to a family who had bought tickets that morning after seeing it the night / day before where most of the leads (including Christopher Jackson and Renee, I think) were out. Can't imagine how much they spent on two consecutive days of Hamilton!

[fortnightlily]

Yeah, and we paid a lot. But intermission report - everyone's great. It's hard to match Daveed tho :/. Will see how he does as Jefferson. Glad we have Renee and Chris.

Who is playing Daveed's part?

[orangeblossom]

I've been bitten by the Hamilton bug. I'm finally listening to the soundtrack courtesy of Amazon Prime Streaming.

I love it.

[Miss Phryne Fisher]

I can't stop listening to the John Adams rap. It is brilliant. I hope it makes it on to the mixtape.

(A few reasons, the change to cut time in the middle, the little historical tidbits in there, Jeffersons, and it really easily illustrates how he gave no fucks)

I don't think it plays the whole album anymore! I had to buy it to get the whole thing now.

I'll have to check. I downloaded it a while ago and am just now listening to it.

Seth Stewart. He was fine but didn't have the same stage presence. I'll post the sheet later. Can't figure out how to embed an image from my phone.

My sister gave me a little Hamilton gift pack. The shot glasses are my favorite.

He's DD's understudy?! That surprises me! He's cool and all but seems like an odd replacement.

I'm so jealous.

Also the guy that played Toby Ziegler on West Wing was there too.

[fortnightlily]

Ok, here was the cast.  The girl playing Eliza was new so she might be the permanent replacement.  Vocally, she sounded almost exactly like Soo.  I thought she could've conveyed a little more personality.  The guy playing Burr was very good.

You got all the other ladies!

My main takeaway here is that I failed both of my children by not naming them something as badass as Voltaire Wade-Green.

Alysha is the usual understudy for all of the Schuyler sisters, I think. I have heard fantastic things about her. And the guy who did Burr is usually Phillip Schuyler/James Reynolds/the doctor.

I didn't see a bio for Alysha in the program, and I know a different girl has gone on for Eliza in the past.
