Hamilton: Musical review
Hamilton review
Hamilton is a modern example of a successful musical performance. It appeared on stage in the middle of the summer of 2015 and up to now has collected positive feedback. Thundered glory of this theatrical is not accidental: a good direction, an incredible combination of classic and modern trends, coupled with the performance of the actors, is so alive that you don’t even believe that it causes them any difficulty. It does not say that the musical is incredibly expensive in terms of scenic decoration and design, because it takes place on a fairly simple stage, with not the most sophisticated decorations, deprived of enchanting brilliance. Costumes on the actors were rather simple also, without frills, but clearly & quite frankly transfer and the idea that was originally put into, and the spirit of the time.
Humanity. Humanness and this, as it may seem at first glance, simplicity, gives a stunning result. We are glad that the plot and music have not slackened or overloaded with events, allowing to plunge into the story completely. From the first chords sounding, attention is riveted to what is happening on the stage, and does not allow to escape for a moment. It is impossible to want to do something else, because the plot on the scene becomes something so alive and independent, that one wants to immerse in it completely.
Like all the Founding Fathers, black actors were selected, doing an excellent job with their roles in the play. The transitions from one musical style to another aren’t smooth, which adds a charm throughout the event. Miranda is surprising. Its role in the musical is unique: he alone is a leading actor, composer, author of the play, lyrics, co-producer, and co-director. In the history of Broadway, it is one of the rarest cases. May the show be designed for fans of hip-hop, but this does not prevent it from being adored unconditionally even by not fans of the genre. Originality, brilliant directing, outstanding music, and glitter of decorations. What will happen if you take it all away? A good story of a strong personality remains, one of the great leaders of the country, drawing attention to the important things, like the past.
Hamilton was nominated for 40 different awards, of which it won 27, including Outstanding Musical, Best New Musical, and Outstanding Music. The play was nominated for the Grammy Award 2016 as Best Musical Theater Album. Tour performances in the United States were planned, estimated to begin – 2017. There is no doubt that it will be successful.
