So
I just started listening to Hamilton this evening HOLY SHIT. Can any
Hamilton fans link me to a performance of this song???
I’m sure it will get air time at the Tonys but I don’t live in a
place that gets new musicals and I WANT TO SEE THIS SONG PERFORMEDAnd
y’know if you want to hear a different musical approach to american
history might I recommend Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson? (which is
kind of an emo rock musical).Sadly, I don’t think there’s video of any of the songs in their entirety, but if you watch the compilations you can get a decent sampling.
Definitely watch the CBS video from this Hamilton Primer post; it’s got the biggest chunk of “My Shot” that I’ve seen.
And then join the rest of us in lamenting that we can’t see this show live, because most of us can’t afford to go to New York, plus it’s pretty much sold out through February anyway.
They’re hoping to do a National Theater Live version of it sometime! Let’s keep our fingers crossed that they do, and before March when Lin leaves the show.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just started listening it to this morning and holy crap it’s amazing. I also straight up cried at one point. I’ll need to check out that primer.
