We just finished it. Had not seen it in person. It's pretty good. Jefferson and King George were the highlights. King George basically steals the show.

It's definitely one of the better plays to come out in the last 5 years, but I don't think it rises to the level of all the clamoring about it. Glad I didn't go crazy trying to get tickets for this.

I know he created it, but I honestly thought Lin-Manuel Miranda was the worst actor on the stage. He did fine, but the other actors definitely stole the scenes he was in.

ETA: As for downvotes, I think people are tired of race swapping only being okay in one instance.

i do think musicals have a difficult time translating to a production like this. but i enjoyed it even if i thought it dragged after the intermission at times. i dont think they did a good job at all with the political drama aspect

however, the establishment of hamilton and his relationship with eliza were very strong and worth the watch. happy i didnt spend thousands to see this though
