Musical – Hamilton (West End)

Honestly, one of the most spectacular musicals I have ever seen. I absolutely loved it and may have a teeny obsession with it now (:’D) so much so that I bought the t-shirt and have listened to the soundtrack pretty much non-stop since I saw the show. It is incredibly clever how Lin Manuel Miranda has created a whole story using rap and made it so accessible for everyone. The skills on the actors were mind blowing; it was almost like poetry or Shakespeare how they managed to speak in time to music. What is really interesting is that the musical is actually about a real-life historical figure. Obviously, I loved the whole musical but my absolute favourite song is King George’s “You’ll Be Back” because his character is so hilarious and the song is just so catchy. Some other songs which come in at a close second are the title track “Alexander Hamilton”, “My Shot”, “The Story Of Tonight”, and “The Schulyer Sisters”. Basically all the songs are fantastic but these are my absolute favourites. I’m convinced I know all the words to “My Shot” now to be honest (:’D). I saw the original London Hamilton (Jamael Westman) who honestly was phenomenal. I adored him as Hamilton as he gave a different perception to Lin’s which was really interesting. He gave a more humble and gentle persona to Hamilton as opposed to Lin’s which I actually really enjoyed. All the other cast were also exceptional. I basically could watch this again and again because it was such a magnificent show. I would give it infinity stars if I could and would definitely 100% go and see it again.
