| That's funny, complete reverse for me. I don't quite understand all the breathless reactions to Milky White, though, I agree Kennedy Kanagawa did a lovely job. As for Fat Ham... not to rub salt in the wound, but you really missed out. One of the most consistently entertaining evenings I've had in the theatre. Clever, but not overly clever in its parallels between Hamilton and the 'Fat Ham' family, a universally excellent cast and a charismatic lead actor who felt like he could be on the verge of a big career. That said, I believe someone on ATC who claimed to be in the know said it was coming back (perhaps as a Broadway transfer)? |

| I was surprised strong her acting was. She has really honed her comic sensibility over the years, especially while on Girls5Eva. And the vulnerability she brought so beautifully to Mary in JCS Live was put even to better use here. I only wish that the wider audience had gotten to see opposite Neil Patrick Harris with whom I thought she had much better chemistry than Brian D'Arcy James. |

| Yes, to all of that! Not to mention how beautifully she sang the role. She managed to imbue a touch of her modern singer-songwriter tonality while staying true to the character. Her 'Moment in the Woods' received a long and enthusiastic ovation the night I saw Woods... almost stopped the show. I don't recall thinking that she and BDJ lacked chemistry but I also have no frame of reference having not seen the pre-transfer Encores presentation. |
