A classic must-see
"From the singing, songs, and storytelling, it gives a creative history lesson in a captivating way. Not sure if kids would truly understand the story, but the music alone is entertaining enough "

Unique and refreshing approach to history.
"Having been to a few Musicals, I was a little taken back at first because of the stage and music. I found the first 20 minutes hard but then I settled in and thoroughly enjoyed the performance."

Better Than Original Cast
"We had the very best time! My husband and I went to the 1PM show on a Saturday. It was so great, the performers but their own spin on it and each one of them were so incredibly talented, we were just blown away. As we walked out I would have absolutely turned around and watched the entire show again, I enjoyed it that much. Highly recommend! "

Everything I'd Hoped For
"Seeing this show live on Broadway was at the top of my list of things to do in NYC. The casting was well done and clearly considerate of audience expectations on what we've come to know of the original cast via the theatrical version. Can't wait to see it again on my next trip!"

Hamilton
"I waited a really long time to see Hamilton and I had built up the expectation of how great it would be in my mind. I finally got to see it on 2.28.26 - and I must say, it did NOT disappoint. As a matter of fact, it was better than I had imagined it would be -- and I can't wait to see it again on Broadway."

Better than ever!
"I have seen this show 5 times over the last 10 years but last night’s performance was my favorite. My teenage daughters joined us (their second time seeing it) and we had such a great time. The actor playing Alexander Hamilton was almost as good as Lin Manuel. Special shout out to the King who was very funny and who had the stand out performance of the night. The entire show had amazing energy. It was “Kids Night Out on Broadway” and I think everyone brought their A game. Getting to sing the chorus of “My Shot” at the end was nice added touch. Bravo!"

Even better than the last time

Wow- what a cast. They really knocked it out of the park. "
