My first and only thought on this: Just no.

Same. The toxic mix of awful translation, incomprehensible foreign performers and ludicrous prices in combination with absolutely ZERO interest in Alexander Hamilton will kill this stone-dead within a month.
If anything, this should be sent on a continental European tour with stops in some big cities and done in English with subtitles, the way Book of Mormon is now gearing up to.

Alexander Hamilton... Ich heisse Alexander Hamilton... Eine Million Dinge noch zu tun... Warten Sie, warten Sie!
(sorry if I failed miserably, I studied German almost 10 years ago and I've lost most of it lol)

i cannot imagine it having success in germany so many actors/actresses have a lot of accent while talking, and with fast rap like that i don't think anyone will understand anything at all - on top of it , who will be able to pay the horrendous prices Stage Entertainment wants for tickets, cannot imagine the young generation more than maybe once - and the people 50+ will never be interested in german rap
not even talking about the translation - it will be a translation like BooH, rhyme or die without any sense

Alexander Hamilton... Ich heisse Alexander Hamilton... Eine Million Dinge noch zu tun... Warten Sie, warten Sie! (sorry if I failed miserably, I studied German almost 10 years ago and I've lost most of it lol) You’re doing great, dear! You should work for Stage Entertainment.... 😂 I can only agree to everything that has been said on this thread already. Stage will butcher it. The translation will be horrible but it won’t matter in the end because nobody will be able to understand a word of it anyway. ^^ This is going to be hilarious...

If only there was a country that is racist. Was colonised by Britain. That speaks English. That could have this?

"Splashy pop-spectacle shows, whether for a date night or part of a hotel’s weekend getaway package, sell far better in Hamburg than almost anywhere else"
""[T]here are plenty of high-quality international productions which we regrettably have to decline showing over here," Jaekel confirmed. "Sometimes the subject matter of the book lacks relevance for Germans, sometimes the score uses musical patterns too far away from what we are used to, sometimes the title just leaves German audiences bewildered, and most of the times it's a mixture of all," he observed."
So what in the world makes them believe that Hamilton has any chance whatsoever in Hamburg in German?
