This is an interesting article looking at words per minute for cast albums of various musicals. Hamilton has about twice as many words per minute as the others. The article also looks at specific fast portions, and finds Getting Married Today and Guns and Ships (the fastest part of Hamilton) are very close. The author gives the "speed prize" to Getting Married Today, because the fast portion is longer.
The fastest portion of Satisfied isn't that far behind. Renee Elise Goldsberry is so good at what she does, though, that every word is crystal clear. |
