Nothing could possibly live up to the hype.

I was underwhelmed by The Producers, Spamalot, etc because of the hype.

I saw HAMILTON just before the word of mouth got huge and I thought it was a work of genius.

I thought In The Heights was a work of genius and I'm beginning to think with Hamilton, they seem to have settled in to (or stumbled across) a formula that worked and went with that... I can't put the thought into words yet but the slickness of the staging, choreography, the lighting (an entity in itself that is NOT subtle) seems to be a step back for me, not a step forward. I can't really articulate what I'm thinking so I should just shut up..

"Nothing could possibly live up to the hype."

But (even assuming hype is the right word-I think it is not) many people have said here and elsewhere that, for them, it did live up to what they had heard, and then some.
