My son saw Lin_Manuel from the front row on Broadway and though he was one of the weaker performers. I love him when he's rapping, but agree that his singing voice isn't that strong. What I absolutely love about him is that he so mad talented as a creator. To write and compose such an interesting work, such a very cool show, a show based on historical figures, with so many complexities, is just phenomenal. I'm fascinated by him as a person.I’m watching Hamilton now. I’ve seen it 3 times: 1x on Broadway, 1x in Chicago, and 1x on tour. I think I’m in the minority. While I didn’t see him on stage, Lin-Manuel Miranda is not my favorite Hamilton. At this point, he probably ranks 3 of 4. The rest of the cast? Some of the original cast are my favorites! But Lin-Manuel Miranda isn’t. I’m surprised by this, but I’ve liked other takes on Hamilton so much better!
It's been 15 months since I saw the live production. Loved watching the film to remind me what a great show this is. I'm going go watch some of the White House videos with the original cast now.
