Did I miss something at HAMILTON?

Posted by: Kerick 04:24 am EST 11/01/15

While I do agree that it is great what has been done with the casting of HAMILTON, I just saw it and don't know what all the shouting is about.

It is very presentational with so much narrative (Aristotle: "Drama is in the form of action, not narrative.")

The relentless pace and over-energized scenes eventually became a turn off. And about a third of the words were lost to the sound system garble.

There were very few "scenes" of depth and drama... mostly they were short vignettes to move the plot along.

Don' shoot.
