Jamael and Ash would both have to be out. If Ash was sick on a Monday, they might even call in Jamael to do Monday's performance before using an understudy.

Not a lot to say that hasn’t already been said but this is a bloody good do isn’t it? Everything (almost) about it is quality and feels like time has been lavished on it. Not a duff performance amongst them, and some that will stay with me forever. I particularly loved George Washington and was ready to stand up after ‘One Last Time’ it was so affecting...alas nobody else did so I had to hold it in. Marsha was on as Peggy, otherwise a full main cast. Yes the women are underwritten a touch, yes I zoned out maybe once in a tuneless rappy bit but I would blame any negatives on the evil slab of unyielding concrete that I was sat on.
Why spend a fortune on refurbing a theatre only to make the most guest facing facility so damned uncomfortable? And don’t get me started on the stupid seat backs! I know that I’ll be back but it’ll have to be in a box or slip next time to sit on a chair, not some medeival torture device. The actual legroom would have been ok if not for that; but 6’4” people do go to the theatre y’know Cameron!

If I use a credit card that expires before the date I am going, can I still swipe the expired card when I get to the theater or do I need to change my credit card details with TM? I have read different things in different places?
Has anyone swiped an expired card when you've gotten to the theater and it's been fine?
thanks so much for any help

Forgive me for asking this if it's already been asked. I'm in the US - and went to see Hamilton Wednesday afternoon (It was a Birthday & Christmas gift for probably the next 5 years from my brother). Had kind of checked out of all the Hamilton hype and had no major intentions to see it because of the hype - and only heard a few clips of the show which I wasn't overly impressed with.
Anyway - since Wednesday I've been insanely obsessed with the show. Absolutely loved it and was blown away by how much I was moved by the most tender moments (I never imagined I'd be crying watching Hamilton)
My question - have you heard if they're intending to make a cast recording of the London cast? This might be really anathema but I find Miranda's voice on the recoding annoying

This might be really anathema but I find Miranda's voice on the recoding annoying I seriously doubt there will be another cast recording. The OBC has sold to unbelievable records and acclaim, and pretty much catapult it to become the global success that it is. It will be impossible to top off (despite how good the London cast may be), not to mention that it's just about as complete as it can be (with exception to the very short Story of Tonight Reprise). The only subsequent recordings released will be the Hamilton Mixtape Volume II/aka Hamildrops where there will be a new single release every month.

Looking at it from another perspective, they're obviously milking every possible source of revenue. They've done the Broadway Cast Recording, they Mixtape, the Instrumentals, Mixtape 2 is on its way... If they can do another release, in any form, they'll do it knowing the brand is a cash cow.

I get what you’re saying.. but these new releases are standalone projects that are less and less “Broadway” and are catered for the non-Broadway ear and feature a completely different take and a non-conventional musical recoding strategy. I think for the general consumer a London cast recording (of a very very American show) wouldn’t be too tempting. The OBC might get a special re-release in an anniversary similar to what Wicked did.. maybe with more demos and cut material. On another note, while there’s no fault in the London cast, I’ve yet to hear anything about them that makes their performance so valuable and unique (esp compared to other casts) to warrant a cast recording. But.. Hamilton has also thrived in its element of surprise drops that come out of nowhere so you never know.

I’d have to agree that there is no point recording the London cast as only Obioma Uguala presented a vocal better than the cast recording, but thats not to say that their performances weren’t better.

Comparing a live performance to a studio recording under perfect acoustic conditions isn’t exactly a valid comparison

My question - have you heard if they're intending to make a cast recording of the London cast? This might be really anathema but I find Miranda's voice on the recoding annoying Nothing has been announced. I wouldn't hold my breath for a London cast recording, although I also wouldn't rule out the possibility. I saw the London production on Thursday afternoon myself; I'm familiar enough with the performances on the Broadway recording, and was pleased to find the London cast haven't simply been directed to give the same performances as their Broadway counterparts (for example, Giles Terera's Burrs is far less Teflon-smooth than Leslie Odom, Jr. was in the role, at least from what I can tell from the recording). I don't know if there'll be one, but I'd certainly buy a London recording. They've put together a superb cast for the London production, and their performances deserve to be recorded - and the show's fan-base at this point is such that I'm guessing they'd quite easily sell enough copies to make a recording profitable. And certainly, Michael Jibson's King George is on an entirely different level than Jonathan Groff's very, very unfunny performance on the Broadway cast album. Groff is dreadful (he usually is), and sells his song short (it's a shame it wasn't recorded at the Public, while Brian D'Arcy James was still in the cast); Jibson is wonderful, and it would be great to have a recording of the show with a performance in that role that doesn't stink.

Some price increases with the new booking period, all valid for performances from 30th July onwards...
The existing £89.50 seats will become £100. The existing £100 boxes will become £125. There will be additional £250 premium seats on Fridays and Saturdays.
So, the first show to hit the £100 barrier for standard non premium seats. Discuss...

Will all premium seats for 250 on Friday and Sat or are some 200 and others are 250? thanks x
