Much like the rest of the world, we can’t seem to stop talking about the Broadway sensation, Hamilton! This iconic musical tells the story of Alexander Hamilton, the American Revolution, and the impact he continues to have on this country. Blending traditional sets and costumes with hip-hop and rap, history (or at least a version of it) unfolds right in front of your eyes! This Lin-Manuel Miranda musical is an absolute well-oiled machine, bringing consistent high-quality theater to a city near you while on its North American tour, all of which we’ll talk about in this second part of our Hamilton discussion!
In this episode of the BSB Podcast, hosts Brian Kitson and RJ Miller-Zelinko break down the music and stagecraft of this incredible production. With both of our hosts having seen Hamilton before, how did this tour compare to the others? Was it just as strong this time as it was previously? With so many songs packed into the three-hour show, which ones were standouts? Who gave it their all for the performances while it was stopped at The Fisher Theatre as the final show of ATG Detroit’s current season? Give this part two discussion a listen to find out!
