Hamilton on Disney Plus this Friday....who's excited!!??

[WorldOfPooh]

Alexander Hamilton . . .

 

[SaintsManiac]

We are waiting in the wings for you!

 

[mom2febgirls]

Anyone else get choked up during One More Time? It's the one part that made me full on cry when I saw the show.

Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story is that song for me.

 

[WorldOfPooh]

My name is Alexander Hamilton . . .

 

[holden]

We are doing a "Rocky Horror" style viewing party (not really a party, just a few neighbors) outside. I have prop bags for everyone (water guns, little American flags, crowns to wear when the king is on, croissants to eat when Jefferson returns from France and a few other things). We have a big outdoor screen and will show it with subtitles so everyone knows what they are saying. My family has seen it several times (with the original cast), but I think it's challenging if you don't know what they are saying. Can't wait (for it)!

This sounds amazing and I’m jealous.

If you watch it and have never seen it before, turn the Closed Captioning on if you can. Some of the lyrics go by VERY fast!

Oh man...we're coming to your house!! Unfortunately we're only able to do a "virtual watching party"....with my sisters and their families....we're all huge fans. My one sister lives in our town, but we're all very much following the rules as both of our husbands and my niece has varying degrees of asthma. What a great party you're having though....have a time! And yes....."waiting (for it) is killing me! One big advantage to viewing this at home, is that we have *way* better wine than they have in those sippie cups at the theaters...haha. Hoping that our surround sound kicks in "when the cannons go BOOM!!" We're going to do some heavy hors d'oeuvre...make it fun.

Yes...this is why it is an advantage to listen to the soundtrack a few times and maybe read some of the lyrics....some of them are super fast.

Do that the second time you watch it. The first time just let it flow...

 

[WorldOfPooh]

And there's a million things I haven't done . . .

 

[AlohaNow]

I think @WorldOfPooh is the most excited!

 

[SaintsManiac]

I think @WorldOfPooh is the most excited!

I'm at the same level. Been singing the songs for 3 days straight and making my family insane.

If you don't mind - why?

I've never seen it. I've only seen advertisements for it. I'm not impressed with the "music" in the show, but that's most likely because I don't think rap, or hip-hop, or whatever that style is ranks as music.

I don't like rap/hip hop either. And not from lack of exposure, since my teens play it all the time. But I love the show. I saw it for the first time in Boston and liked it, but had a hard time following because it's fast paced and I never heard the soundtrack. After seeing it, I started listening to (and loving) the soundtrack. So I saw it again in Chicago. Really loved it the 2nd time. I'll be watching July 3rd.

To those planning to watch, enjoy, but I feel like the only person in the world who couldn’t care less.

Well, there's me, too

It's not all rap/hip hop though, that's a big misconception.

What I'd Miss is classic show tunes.
One Last Time is Gospel.
King's stuff is operatic.

You should listen to Hamilton: The Revolution audio CD and LMM explains where each song came from.

Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story is that song for me.

My husband and I saw Hamilton in SF earlier this year and I was full on ugly sobbing during this song. I am very excited for Friday to see the original cast on Disney+.

 

[WorldOfPooh]

What time on Friday can we see it. 12:01 AM?

 

[OKW8297]

I. Ant wait. I love the soundtrack and read the book.
