    BROADWAY’S HAMILTON: Review and Houston Ticket Lottery

    Review by Christine Thompson

    Hamilton
    Orpheum Theatre
    HAMILTON CO. – HAMILTON NATIONAL TOUR © Joan Marcus Cast:Michael Luwoye, Joshua Henry, and Rory O’Malley, RubĂ©n J. Carbajal as John Laurens/Phillip Hamilton; Jordan Donica as Marquis De Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson; Amber Iman as Peggy Schuyler/Maria Reynolds; Isaiah Johnson as George Washington; Solea Pfeiffer as Eliza Hamilton; Emmy Raver-Lampman as Angelica Schuyler; and Mathenee Treco as Hercules Mulligan/James Madison, Ryan Alvarado, Raymond Baynard, Amanda Braun, Daniel Ching, Karli Dinardo, Jeffery Duffy, Jennifer Geller, Jacob Guzman, Julia Harriman, Afra Hines, Sabrina Imamura, Lauren Kias, Yvette Lu, Desmond Newson, Desmond Nunn, Josh AndrĂ©s Rivera, Raven Thomas, Ryan Vasquez, Keenan D. Washington, and Andrew Wojtal.

    An incredible amount of detail is lobbed at you so if you are going to see the Houston HAMILTON Broadway performance, I suggest you brush up on your history lessons in order to fully appreciate the brilliance of what you are about to see.  There are many reasons this play is getting the rave reviews from all over the country, but chief among them is Lin Manuel Miranda’s writing, which makes historical characters so…contemporary.  Is it the fact that they are singing with rap, rhythm and blues, and pop sensibilities?  That may be part of it, but it’s the transcendence through time, allowing the realization that our founding fathers,  who’ve existed as figureheads mainly seen/not seen as portraits on U.S. currency,  were in fact very much alive and driven by the same human drama and emotions as we are today.  In fact, this is a play that you can see more than once and take away something fresh to ponder each time.

    The rave reviews you’ve been hearing about the original play which launched the careers of Lin Manuel Miranda,  Leslie Odom Jr., Daveed Diggs, Jasmine Cephus Jones (you can see her starring in the upcoming movie “Blindspotting”) and many others are well deserved.  In fact, Miranda, who wrote the book, music and lyrics, after departing the show in 2016, went on to host an episode of Saturday Night Live—which earned an Emmy nomination—and earned an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song for Moana.  Then he wrapped filming as the leading man in Mary Poppins Returns; and composed and recorded the new theme song to Netflix’s cartoon reboot Magic School Bus Rides Again.

    The Houston cast starred Edred Utomi as Alexander Hamilton, who gave a fine performance as the nuanced, driven and eager young immigrant on fire with the possibilities of change.  As the familiar names in your history book came to life one by one, any pre-conceived notions or mannerisms ascribed to familiar names like George Washington, Aaron Burr, Thomas Jefferson or the Marquis de Lafayette (played with humor by the same person, Chris D’Sean Lee) are swept away as ambitions and circumstances reveal the humanity of these legendary figures.  All the dazzle and all the feels are stolen at the end by Eliza Hamilton, played here by Dorcas Leung.  HAMILTON is well worth your time.

    There’s a digital lottery for the remaining performances of HAMILTON, so if you want to go, check out these details:


    Producer Jeffrey Seller and BBVA Compass Broadway at the Hobby Center are pleased to announce a digital lottery for HAMILTON tickets will begin in conjunction with the show’s first performance (April 24) in Houston at the Hobby Center.
