This is Mom with her half priced happy hour wine in her collectable Hamilton glass.
Her were are with the obligatory Playbill picture post...
They have bumped up security (long time overdue, in my opinion) and they now have metal detectors and lines to enter the venue. All this said, you have to get there a lot earlier to get through the security lines. One tip: do not take a purse or a bag and there is an express lane. I just put my cards and ID in my coat pocket and we got right in.
They also mentioned in their email that security will now be at all Pittsburgh venues so make sure if you are attending anything in the Pittsburgh Cultural District, go early!
Onto Hamilton...
I enjoyed it but was slightly disappointed...I wanted to love it and be obsessed like everyone else but I was not.
It was entertaining...great story, great singing voices, dancing and acting but so are ALL of the other shows I have ever seen. I love musical Broadway and I have never seen a bad musical.
The show is all performed through singing...be is slow medleys or rapping so the time goes quickly but I was expecting SO MUCH MORE after all of the raving I have heard. Also, when the show went on sale (I already had tickets through my subscription) people waited for HOURS for tickets...I thought it would be the show of the century.
Hamilton did not stand out to me as the best thing ever like I have heard. I loved Cats, Phantom and Chicago...this was good but I would not even put it on my best list like everyone else.
I am really confused about what everyone is raving about to be perfectly honest...maybe it's true about expectations...if they are too high then they will never be met?
Have you seen it? What did you think? I am sooooo confused!! What is your favorite musical? Do you even like musicals?
