Hamilton (2020)

Poster for Hamilton (2020)
4.0 / 5

I’m shocked. This had no business being this good. Nonstop emotional rollercoaster with a huge splash at the end.

Outside of Lin Manuel Miranda, the casting was so good! Diggs and Leslie Odom made this. I wish more focus was on Eliza pre tragedies as they made her seem very aloof and then at the end you’re like wow she has a really cool story. I missed this 10 years ago but like Hamilton lowkey does this all to himself while Aaron Burr is kinda legit. Idk I found myself really liking Burr. The songs all hit hard but Satisfied is particularly deep.

This is not a well-written review but I want to say the actors were all, but one, amazing and the songs were great with genuine moving scenes. I didn’t expect to enjoy it nearly as much  as I did
