Alexander Hamilton: Stay Alive

I thought hamilton was an incredible play! I loved the cast, the set, and most of all, the expression and the story. The set and the lighting was fantastic! I was amazed how creative they were even though they didn’t change the set to much, unlike any other play I've seen before. Although each scene was changing, the structure and props didn’t change too much. I also love how there was a part of the stage that could spin. I think that was a really cool feature, especially when they were doing tableaus. When the tone/vibe changed, the lights changed too, to match the mood. For example, during a part of the play Alexander Hamilton went crazy, he yells these curse words. At the same time the lights turn totally red and everybody freezes. I really enjoyed the cast in Hamilton. Their acting was so amazing; it looked like they were actually living the life of the person they were imitating. I especially saw this from, Lin-Manuel Miranda (Alexander Hamilton) and Leslie Odom Jr (Aaron Burr). They were very emotional and very expressive throughout the play. I also enjoyed how some actors played two roles but were still capable of showing emotion

They make me feel so emotional and powerful. The songs in Hamilton are so exaggerated and meaningful. Every single time I turn on the song “Stay Alive” and “Burn”, I start to tear up. It is so amazing how the emotion sometimes changes from happy to sad in just one transition from one song to another. As serious and dramatic this play is, they still managed to add humor. For example, King George (Jonathan Groff) made you laugh in all three of his songs, even though he was threatening to “kill your friends and family” it still managed to make you laugh because of the upbeat melody and tone. I love the choice the writer (Lin-Manuel Miranda) made by keeping the same melody in all three of King George's songs, but changed the words based on how he was feeling at the different time
