'she relays the mending of the even more deeply broken hearts of A and E." with 'eloquent words.' So are you saying a secondary character informed me of the rending of the relationship and the depth of their pain? If so , that might be why I wasn't drawn in to Hamilton as so many were. I prefer to be swept to that painful place with lush orchestrations and severe acting and for whatever reason, I didn't experience that. I bought the cd (before I went in) and intend on listening so maybe I'll soften up on it.

Are exquisite. The piano prelude in "It's Quiet Uptown" is simply perfection. So haunting, eloquent. Musical theater at its simplest and most evocative. Perfect, and not in any way less than the form demands.

But listen to "Take a Break." This score is in many ways very traditional. Yes, I said it.

I've started to listen... i think 6 of the first 9 songs end with the same button. it's annoying... by the way save your money on the cd.. I bought it thinking there would be show pics and tidbits in the packaging... but the only thing in the booklets are the lyrics.. not a photo.. NOTHING. just down load it...

Did you see Dr Zhivago? Sounds right up your alley. Painful, lush, and severe, lots of emotion all over the place, not remotely Brechtian.
