The musical Hamilton has been something of a big deal for the last 5-6 years but I had not seen it yet. Last week, a movie of the original Broadway cast performing the musical was released on Disney+, so we sat down as a family unit on Friday night to watch it. I guess I should mention that our family digs musicals. Dallas has a very active group that works to bring to town a diverse program of musicals every year and we try to see at least one. Obviously this year has been a bust.
Anyway, with all the hype around Hamilton, I was excited and prepared to be wow'd. However, when it was done, I have to admit to being underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong, I thought it good and I still want to see it live. However, with all the hype, I expected it to rival Les Mis or Phantom and it just didn't get there. Now I am left wondering if I missed something.
Anyone else see it? If so, thoughts?
