I saw Hamilton in London in 2018 (which was a little odd. They LOVED the King . And they had to change some of the jokes). I think the movie came pretty damn close to live theater, and I liked that I could see facial expressions (totally missed Eliza’s “death” at the end live) and the way it was lit (The lighting design) was awesome - I couldn’t see that as well in the theater.
I also watched the movie and thought “Eliza just died, how did I miss that live?!”
But apparently there’s some debate on what that moment means. Some think it’s her last breath, some think it’s Eliza breaking the wall, seeing the size of the audience, and realizing that people still tell/know their story and that their legacy is secure.

Apparently LMM didn't write into the script what that gasp means and it's up to each Eliza to decide for herself.
I watched it for the first time Saturday and loved it.
Today I had it playing while I was working and loved it even more. I have a feeling I’ll be playing it on repeat all week since I’m the only one working in my office.
I wonder when Evita first opened if people were obsessed with the historical inaccuracies. It was never meant to be a history lesson. It's a piece of art.

Another Suitcase in Another Hall will always be a favorite.

He has problems, but female roles get some great songs in ALW shows.
I know its a real deep cut, but Take that Look Off your face is another one of my ALW faves. When he is good, he is good. When he is rotten, he is awful. lol
ALW also has great cello parts in most of his shows. That's what happens when the composer's brother plays the cello and discusses that there are no great cello parts. My cello playing friends do appreciate it.

I thought this was interesting - I’ll have to watch it again and pay closer attention:

Yes! I read about the Bullet after the first time we saw it, and now when I watch - she always stands out right away. I find myself constantly watching her in the background! It's such a neat aspect to have in the show.

"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
Does Groff play a part in the chorus. For the final bow he’s in the same costume as the others, but I didn’t spot him in any group numbers. Guessing it’s just for the final number?

They are all in similar costumes except a few at that point. Note Jefferson’s last second change to it
I know it's just me in here but ... you guys are the best listeners
"Room where it happens" is a fucking revelation! Of all the numbers it makes so much more sense with visuals, and the motivation of Burr, the outright snubbing he perceives are hinted at in the audio, but it made so much more sense on screen.
