Expectations: exceeded
Jun. 23rd, 2017 08:52 pmSo, back last year when a block of "Hamilton" tickets were released, I managed to snag tickets for the NY production of "Hamilton" for this week. Fourth row, front mezz, house right, so pretty good seats, and the tickets were priced at face value. ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
clauclauclaudia and a few friends (who I don't believe have DW accounts) and Claudia's brother and my stepmother all took the train down to NYC on Weds, and most of us stayed overnight at the Paramount hotel (pretty much across the street from the theater, which was good as my stepmother has some mobility issues) and then took the train back on Thursday afternoon.
The show was everything I hoped it would be - exceptional, and the choreography and staging were a delight (one advantage of the mezz seating over orchestra is that I think we got a good view of the pattern-making in use on the nested turntables on the stage). Quite literally: I laughed; I cried; it was better than "Cats."
Hooray!
