My Hamilton Review

So I had the ability to go see Hamilton in Dallas recently and oh god, it was lovely! Everyone was wonderful and a few interesting takes in this production really stood out to me in the most lovely ways!

The cast I saw was:

Hamilton- Blaine Alden Krauss

Burr- Deon'te Goodman

Eliza- Kendyl Sayuri Yokoyama

Angelica- Lencia Kebede

Peggy/Maria- Milika Cheree

Lafayette/Jefferson- Jared Howelton

Laurens/Phillip- Tyler Fauntleroy

Mulligan/Madison-Eddie Ortega

Washington-Carvens Lissaint

King George-Paul Louis Lessard

HIGHLIGHTS!:

Okay, right out the gate, a lot of the cast had more R&B voices, including Hamilton and I genuinely loved this. Washington and Angelica had the most beautiful control when it came to their voices and it was just gorgeous to hear them every time they were singing. And Lissaint as Washington had some booming growl to his voice that just absolutely grabbed and held onto your focus during Right Hand Man and just the most perfect soul like riffs during History Has Its Eyes On You and of course One Last Time.

The biggest differences in character portrayal were Hamilton and Burr, but I really liked these takes.

Krauss played Hamilton as angry. And I don't mean like quick to anger, but really has angry moments with everyone in his life, including anger towards Eliza when she explains she wrote to Washington that she was pregnant but not Alexander. But it also created some beautiful 'calm down' moments as well. When Washington calls him back, he plays Alexander as hesitant to leave Eliza while she's pregnant, even bends down to kiss her belly before he leaves. Just a beautiful touch. He played young, scrappy, playful Hamilton so well, I wondered if he'd sell the older version in Act 2 and he really did, he slides into it slowly. Makes his voice quieter, more gravelly as the descent starts and it's just so beautiful the way he progresses.

Goodman plays Burr as reserved, but you can feel this constantly simmering resentment towards Hamilton the whole way. This is less charismatic than Leslie plays him, but again, it works for Goodman's portrayal. He still gets loud during the right parts, goes full tilt during The Room Where It Happens . But his anger, his emotions are cagey, like you are waiting for the last straw to break the camels back and its goooooooood when he finally snaps in Obedient Servant. He makes you wait for that moment all musical and it delivers in the last two confrontation songs.

Howelton also has a slightly different portrayal of Jefferson. He has the same physicality and charm that Daveed has, but he has this wonderful deep gravel to his voice that made him sound older, and he leaned more into the limp in What'd I Miss? Daveed always seemed like his Jefferson was around the same age as Hamilton, but Howelton acts and sounds like he is the appropriate decade older and it really works, I constantly thought he was looking at Alexander like a yappy puppy he had to deal with and I really loved it.

Lessard as King George chewed on every song and scene he was in and I giggled at parts of the songs I've never reacted to before. XD He was a delight and we all cheered every time he returned to stage. I would love to see this man as the King every time if I could!

Goofy Notes:

EVERYONE besides Washington and Angelica are shorter than Hamilton in this production. I about wheezed when Jefferson and Hamilton square up in the first Cabinet Battle and Jefferson had to crane his neck to look up at a fucking smirking Hamilton, who had to look down at him. It was like a hilarious au reality and it made me giggle every time they stood close enough to notice. Eliza also only came to Hamilton's shoulder and he had to bend fully at the waist to kiss or hug her, but that man dipped her like a fairy tale prince to kiss her in Helpless. I bought that man loved her!

Stage Direction Differences:

The most differences in stage direction all happen in Take A Break, and I ate up this entire song because it was so different. It's all about the same till we get to the first 'take a break'. Hamilton buries the letter from Angelica. Not just covers it, he pulls various papers and opens a book to start writing in ontop of it, boy knows he is doing wrong in the letters. He's adorably affectionate with Phillip, softly affectionate with Eliza's plea for him to go with them.

Then Angelica shows up, and it's not the soft/nervous 'hi' Lin does. It's a giddy 'hiiii' and arms spread wide with 'gimme' hand gestures before Angelica even gets to him, wraps her up in his arms, etc. The back and forth between Eliza, Angelica and Alexander is very playful after that as well. During the 'tell this man/tell my wife' exchange, they stage Angelica in between Eliza and Alexander, having the married couple do a playful game of telephone with the eldest Schuyler. Alexander even taps Angelica on the shoulder before the 'Angelica tell my wife' line. It's fun and dangerous. Another change is how Alexander responds to the sisters making their final plea for him to go with them. Lin has Alexander panic pull away from Angelica first. Krauss lets that anger/frustration show here instead. He snaps at them, emphasizing the losing his job line here and storms away. I really loved this scene. It boths leans heavy into the playful family and the emotional affair between Angelica and Alexander.

I might have thrown in my lot for some Lucky Seats to see this cast again before they leave...no shame!

Since you answered that dream cast question (which A+ I love it except I also propose Eva as Cleves alt which would be very wild and good), I thought I might mention another fun casting game I like to play from time to time- have you ever considered a cast where the queens were played by women who are the same age as the queens were in the rhyme? So like Aragon played by an actress who is the age Aragon was when Henry divorced her, etc. it makes for some fun options.

Hey! Really like this one! We have some contradictory historical records on how old the queens were, so I’m going with Aragon 50, Boleyn 29/35, Seymour 28/29, Cleves 24/25, Howard 16-21, and Parr 30/31.

Aragon: Maia Nkenge Wilson (48) Boleyn: Loren Lott (30). Also really liked Courtnee Carter who should be about 29, but couldn’t confirm. Seymour: Vanessa Magula (28) Cleves: Veronica Otim (24/25) Howard: Samantha Rios (21). I also really liked Israeljah Reign and Kendyl Sayuri Yokoyama, who both should be about 21/22, but I couldn’t confirm their ages. Parr: Ari Afsar (31)

Aragon/Parr: Krysta Rodriguez (38)

Boleyn/Seymour: Julia Harriman (30)

Cleves/Howard: Brianna Stoute (24)

And just for fun....I also ran some numbers on which Six actors would be closest to the real life age of each queen. I prioritized actors who are currently in the show and currently principals. If there were multiple who fit that, I generally went for the actor who was the right age both currently and at debut. (Quick note: this was written a bit ago in advance of a few more recent cast announcements)

Aragon: No queens are anywhere near the age Aragon would have been, so I went with the closest, Chloe Hart (35).  Boleyn: Leandra Ellis-Gaston (29). Also could be Storm Lever (29 currently, but 28 at debut) Seymour: Kathryn Kilger (28) Cleves: Maya Christian: (24) Howard: Aubrey Matalon (21). Also could be Chelsea Dawson (22 currently, but 21 at debut) Parr: Taylor Iman Jones (30)  Alternates: Aragon/Boleyn: Jennifer Caldwell (35) Seymour/Parr: Multiple options here! Shannen Quan (29), Kelsee Kimmel (28) OR Kristina Leopold (28). All current and fit the criteria well so I didn’t narrow it down beyond that. Cleves/Howard: Harriet Caplan-Dean (23)

If you had to make an all-black or an all-poc Six cast (including alts), what would it be?

I did one here that’s all extremely established stars. But as far as who I would cast irregardless of how well known they are, here’s what I came up with. There’s intentionally no overlap with the dreamcast I did of the incredibly established names.

Cherry Torres as Aragon Julia K Harriman as Boleyn Shoba Narayan as Seymour Nasia Thomas as Cleves Loren Lott as Howard Ari Afsar as Parr

Jerica Exum as A/S/P alt Jerusha Cavazos as A/C/H alt Kendyl Sayuri Yokoyama as B/S/H alt Shantel Cribbs as B/C/P alt

Also went for universal swings, because boy does the US need them  Kayla Davion as A/S/C alt Isa Camille Briones as B/H/P alt Someday I swear I will make a dreamcast that’s less heavily Hamilton. Today is not that day, clearly.
