my theater going cohort and i had 2 things to say in unison before i told her to get out of my head. the first was "heartless" and the second "fierce" in regards to that blonde dancer. the dance style now seems 'slick' to me :frenetic but pointless and didnt come near to creating a mood or futhering the story like in the heights did for me (thats a generalization bcs i liked some of it-the eye of hurricane comes to mind). Hamilton's choreography felt like a step backwards. speaking of in the heights , fr me the musical similarities became grating and annoying and i missed the soaring voices ITH intertwined. for me act one was interminable but things picked up when jefferson got back from france. i liked the rap throwdowns with mics. i thought angelica was awesome. the 30 yearsvof history felt like a history lesson. so much talking at me. im also wondering how much seeing hamilton back to back with Allegiance colored my perceptions. the heart , the crushing acting in that show and the glorious voices are what i prefer. those elements were present in In The Heights but not as evident here. that said im really glad it will draw flocks of people to the theater. but i wont be seeing it again.
