Sneezyone Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Anyone else as psyched as we are to download and watch? I couldn’t take my peeps to the live show but the original cast on film is great too. Edited July 2, 2020 by Sneezyone 13 Quote
prairiewindmomma Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 I haven't seen it yet---excited to finally see it this weekend. 2 Quote

klmama Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 We saw it in Chicago, and I can't wait to see it with the original cast! The Chicago cast did a nice job, but I didn't really "believe" Hamilton. I want to see Lin-Manuel Miranda's version. 3 Quote

I had family tix through a season pass (way cheaper) but couldn’t use them b/c we moved out of the area. Still sad about that. We love live shows. In the end, DH took me locally for Christmas last year. 2 Quote

Junie Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 So Hamilton drops at 3 a.m. Eastern. And I have chronic insomnia. This might actually be a good combination tonight. 3 Quote
Guest Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Looking forward to it. We saw it when it came here on tour last summer (almost exactly a year ago, in fact). DD has the whole thing memorized (and I have the vocal score on my shelf). We bought the full season to get tickets-and by the time the show got here, the season tickets for all three of us cost about the same as a single seat unless you won the lottery.

mom2hunangirls Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 We are so excited! I need some tech advice... Our internet will be glitchy I'm sure. Is there a way to download and watch later on a MacBook Air? I don't see an option like what is available for ios devices. Usually we use an hdmi cable to watch from the laptop to the tv if that matters. I don't want our experience ruined by the buffering circle of death. 2 Quote
freesia Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 We are ready here! So excited! Ds saw it in London, but the rest of us haven’t. The kids have all the songs memorized and have been breaking out in song randomly in preparation. 1 1 Quote

Penguin Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 I have a virtual viewing party planned tomorrow at noon with a friend in another state. Can’t wait! 3 Quote
Pen Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Is it only available briefly, or can one wait a few days till rush is over? Quote
lmrich Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Such a big fan! Saw it in Chicago and then got tickets for my Christmas present (like my only real present) for when it came to Atlanta but Covid happened. I listen to the soundtrack about once a week - it is a great workout soundtrack! So excited!!! 1 Quote
Ali in OR Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 We signed up for Disney+ this past weekend, not just for Hamilton, but it was the big motivator. Dd and Dh saw it last year in San Francisco. We're all looking forward to seeing the original production. 1 Quote
bolt. Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Is it only available *on* the 3rd, *for* the 3rd -- or is it beginning to be available *from* the 3rd for the next while? 1 Quote

Zoo Keeper Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 I know what I'm (hoping) to do tomorrow while DH is at work! (he is actually way more musical than I am, but he hates musicals...I married him anyway.) 🙂 Really looking forward to this. 🥳 1 1 Quote

The lyrical battles are epic. We are so excited! My son and I saw it unexpectedly in London last summer. We weren’t going to see a play, but we saw the marquee coming out of the train station and my son knew it would drive his sister crazy if he saw it first. Probably should have previewed it before seeing it with a 13yo boy, but oh well. It was tough to keep up with the lyrics, but the experience was amazing. We were both on the edge of our seats the whole time. My 17yo daughter now has it memorized. When we realized it was coming out I told her she had to finish up economics before she could watch. The 7yo has prohibited everyone from singing or listening to anything Hamilton related for the last month so the drought ends tomorrow and she plans to be done with economics tomorrow...we can’t wait 😊 1 Quote

It seems tough to put Hamilton and the Sound of Music into the same bucket even though I love them both. 2 Quote
easypeasy Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 we. cannot. wait. Feels like we've been waiting/hoping for this for a decade!!!! So freaking excited!!! We've all seen it at the theatre at least once - but I pretty much sobbed through the entire thing - it was such a profound experience and I apparently just couldn't handle all those emotions. 😭 lol And when his son died? O.M.G. I could not cope. 😭 The kids are hoping I can hold my crap together since we'll just be watching it at home this time. 😅 But, getting to see the ORIGINAL CAST? Yeah. I don't think the odds are in their favor. 😆 3 Quote
catz Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Aww enjoy everyone! We don’t have Disney and I’ve seen it twice on stage so can’t justify it just for Hamilton. We actually in theory have touring show tix for later 2021 too with Broadway season tix here. Go away Covid! I saw Chicago and the first touring company. Both my son and I enjoyed the touring show more and thought that cast had more energy. Lin Manuel Miranda is not a singer, so I’ve never had special need to see/hear him. Sat in on a few too many voice lessons. 😂 It’s ruined a number of things for me. Edited July 3, 2020 by FuzzyCatz 2 1 Quote
Penguin Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) My watch party is over, and what a splendid afternoon it was. I’ve never seen the show live but am very familiar with the soundtrack. So it filled in some gaps for me. My niece, who has the soundtrack memorized, was part of the watch party. She said there was one extra song. I can’t remember what it was (sorry) but I think Laurens was singing it. I will be floating for the rest of the day, and that is a feeling that has been very rare since mid-March. What a gift Lin-Manuel Miranda has given us. I plan to watch it again this weekend with DH and DS. PS You can only download with the app not through a browser. I had to stream but had no problems.

lmrich Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 So good! The acting was so moving; I loved being able to really see The actors' faces. 3 Quote
Sneezyone Posted July 3, 2020 Author Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) I watched it first thing this morning but am watching it again now with my peeps. Groff voiced King George III at my local show and was even funnier, mincing steps and all, but still great on film! Edited July 3, 2020 by Sneezyone 3 Quote

My SIL lives in NYC and entices them to visit with show tix, lol. This is as good as it gets without being there. Turn the volume up, watch on your biggest screen in HD, and make sure it’s dark! 3 Quote

As a Christian, I thought the song with his mistress was incredibly well done and had no problem watching with my DS. Other words (s---, wh---, etc) are still there. I stand corrected. 🤣 Quote

It's where they talk about going downtown for the girls (I think?).

Terabith Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 It was so good. We had seen it a couple years ago at the Kennedy Center, but I loved being able to see faces. That said, watching it now with the state of the nation has a different feeling than even a few years ago. 4 Quote
