So good.
I've only listened from end to end once, and seen the movie release end to end once. Otherwise, it's mostly been hearing this song or that song here and there and all over the place.
The show was GOOD. I just sat and enjoyed it from start to finish. I have another two sets of tickets (yes, I went and bought multiples as soon as they were on sale) and I will be using at least one set again, so...it'll be good to see the second time.
Actors: frankly, I liked them all, but I'm not hugely picky when it comes to performances. I don't pick things apart unless there's things that don't work, and all the major parts worked really well for me. Burr kicked ass - in spite of the show being about Hamilton, it really hangs on this actor, and he did AMAZING.
It's interesting, how the energy changes when you're in the theatre compared to watching on a screen or listening to the song. You're so much more present in the moment. There were parts when everyone joined in, of course ("Everybody!" "Dat-dah-da-dah-dah!"), but it was really enjoyable - and the rapping parts were, I think, a bit slower than in the original recordings, which made it easier to understand.
The theatre was crowded as, zero social distancing although with masks on. To be truthful, we were about as careful with masks as, well, the worst of the freedumbs.
Yes, it was a risk, but a calculated one based on current numbers.
And good to support the arts since our government won't.

A small home drama when the show finished: my sister had messaged me to say that one of our chooks was missing! She couldn't find her when it came time to put them away, and thought maybe she'd been stolen.
I got home at 11pm, did the rounds, and found her perched up on a 1.8m fence! I have no idea how she got up there, but apparently she did. Got her down, put her into her chook house, closed everything up. I tried to carry her down but she was having none of that and at one point I dropped her. I hope I didn't injure her, because there was a lot of 'trying to get comfortable' happening when I finally walked away from the chook house.
So, show watched, drama done. Long weekend imminent.
So tired.

I'm also glad you found the chook, though the mystery of how she got to the top of that fence remains. (grin)

I'm very envious. I'm going to see it for my birthday – but right now that's two months away, and it feels like FOREVER.
