BURR SOUNDS LIKE MR MOSBY IM CRYING
sarcasm central GET OUT OF MY LOBBY
AHAHAHAA
Thank you!!!
I was wondering why that voice sounded SO familiar
FUCK OFOF I CANT UNHEAR IT
NO RUNNING IN THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS
It's so hard for me to think of anyone other than Leslie Odom Jr as Burr anymore. The energy he put into that role....
Ratcone IKR it was really weird not seeing the Original cast performing.
Doesn't help that Leslie is not only a great rapper and singer, but a fantastic actor as well. He's hard to replicate.
frr😀🤚🏻
same
Look up Nik Walker. Not as good, but when I saw him play Burr in 2018, he stole the entire show. Aaron Burr was somehow the most amazing part of the show when he wasn't played by Leslie Odom Jr.
I love how on west end Eliza is really small and Hamilton is like 7 ft tall
Lol
In this case I’m Eliza 😂😂
@Kunaya nah i've watched it and jamael westman just towers over her
Kunaya No dude, I saw them live. He’s a mountain next to
Her haha
Can I just say , this comment rhymes and I love it.
Their kissing scenes in the show mustve been awkward 😂
We fought with him,
Me I died for him,
Me I trusted him,
Me I loved him,
And me.... I’m Kanye west.
Imma let you finish but Chicago had the best opening number OF ALL TIME!
Kanye West: an american musical
Coming to West end and a theathere near you...In probobly never
And Peggy

Did nobody else notice that Alexander Hamilton is a freaking giant?
Dont mind me yeah, he’s 6”4 lmao
Which is weird because in real life he was known as the Little Lion
It fuckin scared me
Lol
Wonder if Washington is still as tall
My god, the actor for A. Ham is so tall compared to everyone which is cool because he's usually played by shorter actors
Rylee Correa omg yeah. Lin is 5'9 and i think Javier is 5'10
How tall is he, I really noticed his height when he was standing next to Washington and when Eliza was putting his coat on?
Chocolate Anders he’s 6”4 I asked him and he is just a giant
Oliverisjustsocool !!! Oh my God!
Alexander Hamilton's height is shorter compared the other founding fathers though (the only person I recall, amongst the founding fathers, shorter than him is James Madison)
I love how Eliza is like 5 ft tall and Alex is like 7 ft tall
I just noticed that. She give him his coat and she looked sooooo tiny 😂😂
Aint Rachelle Ann Go like.... 5'8?Tbh thats pretty tall but Mah dude according to the website is like 6'4 wth
THIS ELIZA SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE ORIGINAL AND I LOVE IT
shes rachelle ann go ❤
The vocals maybe, but she was holding the notes to long, and it was irritating
ALEXANDER AND ELIZA'S HEIGHT DIFFERENCE OH MY GODDDDD
c'est le feu IKR lol
yES ELIZA IS ALREADY SMALL BUT DAMN JAMAEL AS HAMILTON IS JUST SO FUCKING TALL ITS CRAZY
When Hamilton stood from the chair I was likkkee wooooaaaahh GrEeN gIAnT!!
HE TOWERS OVER HER OH MY GOD 😂
SOMONE GET ELIZA SOME DAMN PEDIASURE
So no one's gonna talk about how fucking tall Alex is next to Eliza like she almost couldn't put that coat on him.
Janina awwwwwww!!
ITS SO ADORABLE I LOVE IT
You're so positive I love u
YASSSSS Rachel (Eliza) looks so smol it's adorable HAHAHAHAHAHA
Just saying unlike Americans we don’t naturally have American accents in Britain
Many singers lose their accents when singing. And we Americans tend to forget these characters lived in the 1770s - they would have had British accents ;).
Heidi Christensen That actually isn’t exactly true. Back then the British accent sounded more like and American accent today
Sounds like this writer disagrees. outofthiscentury.wordpress.com/2010/01/21/early-american-accents/
Kunaya yes I’m serious. The idea that Brit’s in the 18th century had “American” accents makes no sense. If it is NOT true, please explain to me how every British colony still had BRITISH sounding accents, not American sounding ones. You will never convince me that Aussies, Kiwis, South Africans, Indians, Irish, Welsh and Irish accents developed after the Revolutionary war.
Believe what you want, but Shakespeare sounds better with an American accent
Lin Manuel Miranda: So i created a musical, who should I cast?
Lin Manuel Miranda: I know... Me
Edit: Wow, thx for the likes I never get this much
He couldn't think of anybody XD
I love how this is commented on the one where lin isn’t hamilton😂
I MADE THE 666TH LIKE AHAHAHA
@@yanfeismug4355 it's 669 lmao
They picked the wrong person to be Hamilton he is to tall
2:48
holy shit! this Eliza is so small compared to Hamilton!
Look at her! she is adorable!
¡OMG! ¡YEEEEEEES!
Vi Ca she's a Filipina. A proud Filipino.
OHMYGOD WHEN I SAW IT LIVE HE WAS MASSIVE
She’s so adorable!
Noga Halbreich yep i know but still she’s so cute!!
*When Burr Hits Puberty*
AHAHAHAHA SO TRUE
or when mr mosby is casted in hamilton
I spit out my fig bar
I mean like... he was already a adult when he met Hamilton
puburrty
Honestly, this cast is really good too. I have to say though, even though they might sound different because of their accents doesn't mean ya'll can say stuff like "They don't sound good" or something along the lines of that. Also, the cast was probably picked for how they carried out the part rather than how they can sing. Keep in mind that most of the actors can't sing or rap in the original cast, but they're amazing because of the emotion they put into the lyrics.
Yeah, well none of them sound like New Englanders in the 18th century, so there!
Je
Are you actually trying to police what people are and aren't allowed to say?
People "CAN'T" say they don't sound good?
This Burr may be a good singer, but his rapping is objectively a huge weakness compared to both his cast mates here as well as the American Burr. In a play primarily based around hip-hop and rap, casting a lead actor that isn't a good rapper makes no sense.
I just them live two days ago. They were ALL amazing!!! In every way. Acting, singing, rapping, charisma... I am absolutely blown away!
I saw this cast a few months ago and everything was absolutely perfect! They've really improved since this performance and it felt no different to the American cast
The head bob from Burr during "I'm the damn fool that shot him" just made him my favorite Burr.
Yessss ı've been looking for this comment
Ha!! I LOOOOVED it too. Head bob was AMAZING!!
lol
I agree he did so amazing in that role
I love how Rachelle Ann Go is playing Eliza! It really suits her, and as a fellow Filipino, it makes me proud how she made it this far!
I knoww!!! I'm proud that she is a Filipino,
💜 i know
im from the Philippines, and seeing shin in this really makes me have hope for more asian representation in today’s society which doesn’t have much of it, one day it will change
KawaiiBunnBunn YES!
I agree
okay but the height difference between Alexander’s actor and Eliza’s actress it just adorable
plant mom Hahahahahaha
The guy that plays Burr was literally amazing. I was lucky to see the show live and it was really strange at first because he was so different, but seriously, he blew us all away!!
Is that a pun?
Is this comment a joke
I give em a 7 out of 10
Leslie gets a 20 out of 10
@@nginamandouma4246 Search the room where it happens west end, your mind will be blown
@@nginamandouma4246 he won the Olivier award (UKs version of Tonys) for best actor so I imagine he was probably really good!
@@nginamandouma4246 well you have to think about it if you’re talking about his voice. The west end cast is from London and since most people from London have an accent and Hamilton is an American musical they have to try to have a American accent while singing at the same time.
Of course I prefer the original cast, because that was my introduction to this brilliance. Then again, I tend to prefer the cast or makeup of nearly any musical or band that introduced me to anything I've grown to love. These people are amazing on their own merits.
Love to the British Hamilton cast from America.
And peggy
IMO West End usually outdo Broadway even in a Broadway original like Hamilton, except probably Jonathan Groff’s King George
@@Dan-gi6tf Love the irony that the exception is the British monarch being played by an American actor.
@@ErisRising omg yes 👏 I didn’t realize that!
The height difference in Eliza and Alexander is so cute ngl
Daniel Lestowell because Actor of eliza is filipino..
Cherry Cardines Lorejo she’s actually 5”8 lol
Isabelle Teh if she’s 5’8 then he must be like 6’8 wtf
Trash Ball lol look at 3:27 he looks like a giant compared to the other peopl
Isabelle Teh lol he does
I was shookt to see Rachelle Ann Go as Eliza 😮
For those who don't know her, she was a huge recording artist in Philippines who chose to leave career to follow her dream, to go broadway. I grew up watching her on local tv back then here in Phil. So happy for her
kaichi zoldyck she also played Gigi in the recent revival of miss Saigon and killed it
kaichi zoldyck iKRRR❤❤❤
kaichi zoldyck Same I'm so happy for her!!
There goes the Pinoy pride post again.
The Buko Studio yes i'm pround of her being a pinoy but am not bragging about it, did i mention anything about being proud?? what i posted was just a fact, just an information. Improve ur reading comprehension dude.
That woman that played Eliza was great omg
OMG Alexander is so handsome and I love his voice. So manly. I love Eliza's ( Rachelle Ann Go) voice. I love Lin manuel Miranda's voice too. His singing voice is like anime. So charismatic.
johnvijavier i agree!
"alexAnder HAmelten"
"scAmen"
"plAnin"
The British accent is bleeding through XD
The Frøst Dragøn i thought this too lmao
The Frøst Dragøn *welsh
😂😂😂 i thought the same thing!
Yea I thought so too, is it Welsh or Scottish?
The Frøst Dragøn I can't unhear it now that I've read your comment
The ensemble vocals are flawless 👌🏼
yesss omg
Kieran Murphy IKR IT'S AMAZING
When I saw this production live I had no idea that the ensemble would give me so many chills, they’re absolutely amazing 😍
When they say "you never learned to take your tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime" its so good and its how I grade 'Alexander Hamilton' covers/remakes
they were actually the best part of the performance. not sure how to feel about that.
Why am I just finding this the British cast is amazing they are very different from the American cast and that's epic
Пчела Полиция not all, Eliza, Rachelle Ann Go, is a filipino
Yeah, I prefer the British cast singing
Nesh Uy its still the british cast
@@neshuy4126 if they were born in in England they're English. Nationality is where you're born, ethnicity is where you're "from"
Ok so I REALLY hated the cast when I saw this- but then I saw them live (mind you I saw og ny cast as well). I loved them even more! They all portrayed their characters so well. I found that they made it more humorous. There were certain lines that were never considered to be funny, and I found myself laughing, whereas in NY it was just another line. They all added little tweaks and gestures which made it brilliant! Now burr and Hamilton: this Hamilton knocks Lins Hamilton out of the water! (Is that the right phrase?) He was amazing! Yes I love Lin, but this guy not only had a great singing voice but had this poise to him that was brilliant! He managed to convey Hamilton's childishness and arrogance, but then showed perfectly his character growth he is became a guilt ridden and more experienced man. He also made him quite funny in the first act which I loved (funny not in a dumb way, but in a sort of childlike way Which fit perfectly). Now burr: I am a huge fan of Leslies voice, it's smooth and great. BUT this burr is just as great. His singing is different, VERY, different but he made it worked. He's certainly improved since the beginning of the show (I've heard audios of the show when it first started, and there were certain lines he didn't deliver well, but that must have been at first, because when I watched him- 10 months after the show started- he delivered them well). He also added a touch of comedy which was lacking with Leslie, again a comedy that fit (hard to explain if you haven't seen). He also managed to show the character development in a way Leslie didn't. I'd argue Leslie has a better singing voice (this one does too, you get used to it but I do love Leslie. And I think it's brave of Giles to be preform with a lisp) and that Giles has better acting .
Also you must realize that you are all used to the soundtrack, so hearing something different is strange. But when you see the full show you adapt. Nonetheless both are great
But that’s the thing the show wasn’t meant to be how you have portrayed it in said comment. See you were supposed to see it in Hamilton’s time where it was serious with the war and such. I believe that’s the way they sung didn’t quite sound right. Mostly the person portrayed Burr. His voice seemed to squeaky and the original cast just looked better also
@@jorden5508 but that's the thing- the first act IS meant to be somewhat funny. They're all young and wild. Making the first act a bit funny makes act 2 even better as it shows their character growth. It makes sense, Hamilton was always very wild and impulsive. But as the show progresses he becomes more serious
The Chicago production also gets different laughs. Chi-town also has the best A.Ham in Miguel Cervantes. His singing and acting are superb.
All I got out of this was jealousy for seeing Hamilton live twice
how dare you Lin-Manuel Miranda is the greatest and will continue to be the greatest person who ever played Hamilton
*PEGGY IS BACK*
Niff Peggy is my spirit animal
That's Angelica
3:49 (left to right) Angelica, Eliza, Peggy
You called?
Wheatos actually its mariah reynolds cuz their played by the same actress and peggy didnt love alexander
Mr Dusty Musty, yes, Peggy loved Alexander like a brother. The whole point of those lines is that they apply to both characters played by each actor: Lafayette, Mulligan, Jefferson and Madison all fought with Hamtion, but in different ways; Angelica, Eliza, Peggy and Maria all loved him, but in different ways; Laurens and Philip both died for him (this last one is a bit of a stretch, but you could argue that Laurens would not have been involved in the revolution at the level he was had it not been for Hamilton).
You could say that the actors are playing both of their parts simultaneously for this song, hence the neutral white outfits.
50% of the comments: Aaron Burr
20% of the comments: Rachelle Ann Go doing a good job for pulling of Eliza
30% of the comments: Just Hamilton talk
1% (that's me) of the comments: I LIKE WHOEVER DID JOHN LAURENS
That adds up to 101%, you fucking idiot!
@@NaiYT watch your mouth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@talesofnoriko4242 you watch yours

I’m just loving the girls outfits!
Absolutely in love with this Eliza, Mulligan and Washington and ensemble
Thats what i thought
Everyone is too busy noticing burr and ham's actors but bro the others are awesome
HOLY SHIT ELIZA MULLIGAN AND WASHINGTON ARE OUTSTANDING
SO PROUD OF RACHEL ANN GO FOR PULLING OFF ELIZA 😍😍😍 the role definitely suits her
Sheirida Miranda No it doesn't.
MagicalTorreira 11 and the reason is?
Sheirida Miranda Race.
MagicalTorreira 11 what has race got to do with her having the role?
MagicalTorreira 11 Troll???
I love their Eliza though. She sounds so beautiful.
She’s Rachelle Ann Go a Filipina. She also did Gigi in Miss Saigon Broadway and West End and Fantine in Les Miserables West End ❤️
No one:
British Cast: aLiXaNdUr HaMoLtIn
P.S. no offense the cast is amazing and I'm just amused by their accents
Reggie Reyes tbh me too Hercules mulligans actor was the best accent
Eh tbf they do the same when Americans try to do English accents 😂
stanford0711 yeah I mean have you heard American Matilda their accents are terrible 😬
Eliza’s voice was pure perfection
The eliza SOUNDS SO FRICKING SIMILAR
Eleanor Barkla she sounded like Philipa in this part.
debatable
I LOVE HOW DEEP THE MULLIGAN/MADISON’S VOICE IS FJFMFM ITS SO SMOOTH
I saw the British Hamilton in London yesterday and the cast were outstanding! King George stole the show, Alexander and Burr were fantastic. This video doesn't do them justice
I saw it this week. There was a different Burr in our shows 'cause Giles stopped last year
This hamilton lowkey looks like old school justin timberlake
For sure Eliza, Mulligan, Washington, and the company sound the best😍
Edit- didn’t realize my comment would get so many likes😊😦
IKRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Mellow AvaJules 💯💯💯
And Laurens was AMAZING - he’s not as good in this clip but when we saw it in London he was perfect
Not the best.. Original was
I personally didn't like Washington! He's a beautiful singer yes, but he sounded far too angry for my tastes. Ruined Right Hand Man a little for me a bit. But I'll admit when he did One Last Time that was amazing
If any of you had watched the live show in London, you’d realise how incredible the guy who plays Burr really is.
Alex Bradley he really is. I want a full London cast album so bad
Alex Bradley he sounds like a cartoon character
I agree, when I first watched this video I was skeptical, but after going to see it I take it all back! He suits is so well! In fact, the ENTIRE cast suites it! I LOVED Lafayette and Jefferson (played by the same man), and Washington was crazy good too! This is an insanely well chosen cast, gg
He sounds awful I miss Leslie odam jr
if there will be a "Mulan" musical play.. rachelle ann would be perfect for the role..
hhaaaaaaa... what a dream it would be..
😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪
but mulan is chinese and rachelle ann is phillipino :(
@@aliciaphoebe3550 eliza is american, rachelle ann is filipino.. gigi is vietnamese, rachelle ann is filipino.. fantine is french, rachelle ann is filipino...you get what i mean? beside, rachelle ann is half chinese...
@@agentcycy yeah, but a big part of hamilton was giving parts to POC to show what a real america looked like- and mulan is one of few POC disney princesses whose race shouldn't be changed. i get that shes half chinese but idk, mulan is just such a strong chinese female character that so many girls like me have loved for being that, and im not saying that rachelle ann would make her less so but its just that chinese representation is already so limited and mulan is one of the only opportunities for fem chinese
@@aliciaphoebe3550 dear
..when it comes to musical plays, race has nothing to do with the character's performance. as long as she can pull out the emotions and deliver the beauty of the songs, it wont matter. when it comes to movies, yes. race plays a big part indeed.
Alicia Phoebe Actually in the movie in Mulan it was a Filipino who was singing her songs in the movie 😉
I saw Giles Terera as Burr in London's West End, and he was fantastic. Every time you looked at his face, you could see the wheels turning in Burr's head as he calculated every action - but he still managed to melt the audience with "Dear Theodosia." Unforgettable.
I think because the soundtrack is so popular people forget that different people perform broadway shows (such as the 500 or so cats revivals) I wish I was lucky enough to see this version of the OG. But all I can hope for is that eventually the show comes to Australia
Chloe P right? I always forget there are different versions and casts
Same! I am hoping for it to come to Australia too! This show with the different casts give the show such diversity and no matter where you watch it it will be the same show but portrayed in different ways!
Same tho 😂
Same here! If only...
I've seen it 3 times and it's been different every time. The 1st was more of a carbon copy of the OBC in Chicago. The last two I feel like the casts can play with their characters more. I also have a not bootlegged at all copy of OBC if you'd like 😎
You might not hear Angelica in this clip but in the musical...... SHE IS SO FUCKING GOOD! Of course the others were good but god damn she's amazing.
Alab agreed
Eliza is better
@@princessunicornia6771 eliza is better?
I can confirm! I saw the London version (no understudies, just main cast) and she and Eliza honestly had the most wonderful voices. They were spectacular.
@@princessunicornia6771 And Peggy!
This Burr gives his "I'm the damn fool that shot him" line with swagger.
This cast is great. It’s cool to hear the occasional British accent coming through. Love Rachelle Ann as Eliza
Eliza though 😍
and.rosie RACHEL ANN GOO
She looks great
Why?
This Eliza is really pretty! Literally every Eliza is though.
Man, if only!
This is why I live - to appreciate British Hamilton Cast 🙏🎉
Same. :)

ah yes,
Alexander *Hamulten*
maxlovestheatre leave our pronunciation alone
He was Scottish so that's how it would have been pronounced.
I'm crying
maxlovestheatre LMAO
LMAO
It baffles me how a show which is all about diversity somehow prompts people to be extremely negative towards every little thing that is different than what they're used to. Yes, they look and sound different, they have different accents and different ways of pronouncing words with various imperfections. And it's AMAZING!
If you are bothered by such differences as Hamilton's height, Burr's lisp or that they are not copying the original cast, you didn't get the point of this show at all.
PandaMonika yes thank you!!! exactly what i’m thinking
PandaMonika 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Well said!!!
THANK YOU (I thought that Leslie Odom Jr had a lisp too?.)
YAHH!!! GO RACHEL ANN GO!!! YEEEE!!! I KNOW I'M REALLY LATE BUT WHO CARES!!! IMMA SHOW LOVE FOR RACHEL ANN GO!!!
Alexander hamilton.
*big pause*
Mt name is alexander *hom* ilton
The emotion in Burr's voice as he says 'and me...I'm the damn fool that shot him' gave me chills!
You can hear the pain and regret....this cast is amazing!!
Leto S yes I agree so much!
Ok I can see it
You can hear his voice wavers a bit and it adds so much to that line!
Leto S Finally! Someone who likes the Burr
Madeline Adair
You mean to tell me there are people who don't like this Burr?? Jesus, that's sad.
Everyone may hate on burr but he's the one with an olivier award for best actor so 🤷🏾
True dat
having an award wont determine one's perspective
It's not the original actor.
TheNoneUploadGirl
No, I mean because she said that he was the one with the Oscar. I'm just correcting that it's the original actor that has the Oscar. Sorry if you misunderstood.
I prefer him as Burr, I loved his performance in London last week
Eliza is fantastic.
I just saw this cast in London and I have no words. They are amazing, all of them!
Eliza is soooo cute and her voice is outstanding ❤️
IKRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Filipinos are very good at singing
Shaena Cabacang no need to brag
Idk why but to me the guy who's playing Hamilton gives off more of a Lafayette vibe
ANGIE MOON BRO HE DOES THO 😂😂
Bcz hes scottish/irish
Nah cuz he's a giant
*IM TAKIN THE HORSE BY THE RE-* -send help-
YESSSSS
Sorry I can’t take Burr seriously 😭🤣😂 especially when he says “I’m the damn fool that shot him” 😭😂🤣
I cried
This particular version of the opening number of Hamilton is absolutely stunning!!
My thoughts on this version of the song:
- I love this Alexander. Bless him.
- Laurens is awesome. He is softer than Anthony but I think that he is great! He now got my award called "Good Actor, bless".
- I love Lafayette. OH GOD, HE'S AWESOME. PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE THIS GUY RECOGNITION.
- Hercules has such a deep voice omg I expected him to be like the original but he's deeper. I'm curious how his Madison sounds!
- Eliza sounded like her mic kind of broke for a second? Nonetheless I love her and I already knew it.
- Washington is just great.
- Burr... Well... he is different than Leslie. A lot different. His voice is kind of strange but he isn't bad. He is actually really good, you just have to get used to the voice. I ADORE the "There woulda been nothing left to do" part. He is wonderful there.
Also, like, people get super mad about the accents? I can't see a difference between this and an American accent but that's probably because I'm really bad at defining accents.
Yukuro Chan loved your take on this version. I saw the show in February and I thought Tarinn Callander was amazing as Mulligan but even better as Madison. I can see why people who haven’t seen the show are a bit unsure about Giles as Burr, but he’s absolutely phenomenal. He doesn’t overplay Burr, his acting is incredibly subtle. Cleve September is also great as Laurens, and his Philip is utterly heartbreaking. His acting as Philip is dying is frighteningly realistic.
How about Jason? I'm curious, is his Lafayette better or maybe Jefferson? Also, people complain a lot about Alexander, is there really a reason to be concerned or is that just obsessive OBC fans?
I am also really happy because today I saw my dad looking at the tickets, so we might go and see the show in December.
+Yukuro Chan Jason's Jefferson is AMAZING he's so so funny as Jefferson.
lucy burrowes That's good to hear!
Okay so the actor playing Alexander when I saw it in January was the second for the role but I do think that Jamal Westman makes a great Hamilton (forgive me if I spelt his name wrong). Tarrin and Cleve have really stepped up the game for me in both their roles as mulligan/Madison and Laurens/Phillip especially Phillip as Cleve Septembers raw emotion in the death scene is extremely realistic.
Lafayette's actor (forgive me I forget his name) is so perfect in the role that for me it's on par with Diggs', even as Jefferson the personality shines through.
Gilies plays a great burr for someone with a lisp and Washington's actor is a force of nature in the role, like holy shit especially in one last time.
Kinda ironic that it is being performed in England don't ya think?
Irok 121 😂
Better in america
O yeah xD
Not really considering all of that happened over 200 years ago
Literally nobody in the UK cares about the conflict anymore
Yo this Burr is phenomenal!!! Love the uniqueness of his voice
Why is everyone hating on burr I know he did it different to Leslie but I'm sure if it was the other way round and he was the original and Leslie was in this one then people would hate on Leslie because he was different. They both played the roll with their own uniqueness and they are both amazing burrs
Could people stop bashing this cast. I mean they were chosen for a reason. They’re talented. Even so It’s not like they a replacing the cast recording with this
Danix. Good point and also these can not be compared to the other casts. Unfair on all our original west end casts beeing compared to Broadway
Ikr don’t determine the quality of the actors by comparing to the originals
dayjah32 the problem is you're not substantiating your opinion with any fact. You're just saying it feels a bit icky. If you're just shouting 'BOOO' there's not any point to that. If you were to say 'Well this character struggles with fast rap sections' or something people would be more inclined to take you seriously
same thing for the original lion king, when heather headley was replaced as Nala as well as the others, people FREAKED, come on, they go on to do other shit, let them be...
Rolling my eyes at people who just can't appreciate talent and different renditions of a production or a character (w/c is the most interesting part of theatre!). I've never seen fans of a musical so obsessed with its OBC. Don't just appreciate Hamilton, appreciate theatre itself folks
i can appreciate different renditions of a character and still think a particular one sucks.
I'm talking about the knee-jerk reaction of "no one can replace the obc you all suck," the complaints of "why did he do it this way when it should be done that way according to obc," and the refusal to acknowledge that each actor have their own artistic interpretation of a character
Yes god knows a rendition can suck but saying it sucks for no other reason because it's different from the obc or that an actor is too tall or has a lisp or pronounce things differently is stupid - that's what i mean with the obc obsession
ugh same! people are such dicks
zipzapkpop it's my opinion bitch
I just hate how they made them do American accents, they're bad and it bothers me. When they sing it's great, but when they speak it grinds on my ears. Should've made them keep their British accents. Yes, it would be weird especially how it's kinda about the American Revolution, but it would've sounded TONS better.
That eliza tho is amazing
People are saying they're not feeling this Burr.
Yeah, I agree, but you know who I feel even less? Alexander Hamilton. The actor doesn't have the intensity required. And Burr doesn't sound angry or salty like he usually does.
Tess Crelli the intensity might not come across in video, but trust me on stage he’s got it in spades.
Well Hamilton isnt to hyped on this song for some reason. If you look back on Lin Manuels performances on this, his face is very relaxed but that fit the role quite well. I can see where you are coming from though.
Live its 100 times better
Well he was fucking INCREDIBLE when I saw him. Like my god, he is amazing
I agree
dAYUM that eliza is amazing hEck
Honestly, I'm not feeling this Burr...
Eliza, Washington and Mulligan are amazing though
my friend watched it about two weeks ago and r e a l l y didn't like the burr - apparently loads of his really big lines (think the world was wide enough, when he says 'this man will not make an orphan of my daughter') were delivered really weakly/monotone and he didn't have the emotion a lot of the other burr's had.
Nurpus I’ve seen this here in London and this is a different Burr - not a fan of him, but the one I saw in the show was amazing!!
Same. Burr needs to be switch out
Nurpus Lmao this Burr just won an Olivier for it
Reminds me of Steve Urkel
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Eliza? I mean holy crap, her voice was absolutely amazing!
I watched this performance on TV a couple weeks back and I was left mind-BLOWN! Its so incredibly created and I fell in love from the beginning to the end
I was shocked when I got the news that Rachel Ann Go left Miss Saigon to be a part of the Hamilton cast as Eliza. Still proud of her though. Go Rachel!
Yes, she is good - agree
As someone who’s seen this in London, Burr is f***ing incredible. He’s an amazing performer and his renditions of the finale and room where it happens are breathtaking. He carries the whole show, so happy that i got to see him in this role. I don’t know how long Hamilton will stay in the West End, but if anyone gets a chance to see it, DO IT!! Very different but just as amazing (and even refreshing) to see and hear our renditions of the story and characters. The actor who plays Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson is amazing too, very funny, and almost Prince-esque (and I’m basically in love with Daveed Diggs so it was big shoes to fill!) - and yes, the King George segments are ten times funnier when performed in the UK. It just is. 🇬🇧
AreYou NormalBass people are really upsetting me cause they are like “he has a lisp” like yes he does it doesn’t matter that he foes
Yay! I'm seeing it in the west end and I love Burr, Lafayette and King George!
See it's not even that bad a lisp. I think Giles is amazing.
ike
I saw about 4 weeks ago and it is amazing. I spoke to people involved and found out that they slowed down the songs/rap just a little for us, which is great! The actor playing Burr is AMAZING!!!! King George stole the show. Hahaha!
One additional reason why i have to go to the UK again. For this! ❤❤❤❤
His lisp is the cutest thing ever
(Saw this last year and it was amazing)
I absoutly love this cast. Their American accents are so nearly there to. I mean American accents came from British accents so they do sound quite similar but great jobs anyways
swift firebolt they are suppose to have american accents lmao
They’re trying their best American accents, but sometimes you can here it bleed through lol
Sabrina Martinez hahhahahah aint that the truth the way they said scammin i was like yeh very british
Apart from Rachel Anne Go, the rest of them are doing American accents...
Bethany King So what? She is the best singer of them all though...
Amazingly performed, painfully short. 😭
ugh, this was mediocre. I can't believe people would say this is great.
I love this Burr’s interpretation honestly, none of them should be exactly like the original cast.
That little moment of surprise after "you gotta fend for yourself" is everything.
Ensemble: `Hamilton, you gotta fend for yourself!`
Hamilton: u wot?
It makes me kinda sad seeing the comments of ppl not liking Burr. I thought he was one of the most unique one out of all of them. The way he portrayed Burr was whimsical and just perfect! And I guess its cuz ppl listen to the soundtrack so much they forget these ppl are different and aren't used to "change." Which I totally get...I was one of those ppl myself...until I was fortunate enough to see the show performed by the Hamilton National Tour. Then my perspective changed altogether. Give them a chance! I love all of the ppl in this vid. Tho I have to say the way he says "hamilton" like "Hom-mul-tun" made me tilt my head a little LOL I think the British accent took Hamilton to a whole different level! Hopefully I can see this one day! :)
Carol ASL. Thank you!
Love the English version of Burr seen it twice and he just has so much charisma and charm
Planetary Go! Me too! I saw hamilton in London about two weeks ago and I thought Burr was really good
Burr is incredible, I've had the privilege to watch him for the past 2 weeks and I would say he is one of the reasons to go see the show.
I really enjoyed how he changed some of his enunciation and singing. I'd love to watch the whole thing with this cast!
Can everyone stop bashing this cast because of their accents. Yes I'm not overly impressed with the accents but shall I remind you of the Kinky Boots Original Broadway Recoridng where the majority are American but they have to sing in a British accent. It was horrific. So please stop hating on this cast, they all did so well.
Yes!! I doubt Americans could fake a British accent as well as these British fake an American accent.
I don't hate them because of their accents, I just don't, personally, enjoy how they sung this song. The Ensemble, Alexander and Angelica have amazing voices, yes, but the others... My aunt saw it and she said it was an amazing cast, but from what I hear, I just don't agree. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's just not my cup of tea. The accents have hardly to nothing of importance.
yes yes yes preach!!!
There is no such thing as a British accent, it is called an English accent.
a single white female that's nothing to do with the point she's trying to make lol
Saw the show last month in London and had no complaints with the casting or performances. That's my British understatement. The American in me says, "This was a brilliant musical that was flawlessly and passionately performed. Instead of comparing to other productions, I encourage you to assess this production on its own merits." Bravo, Hamilton!
Kinda sad they didn't sing You'll Be Back 😂
Just when I thought I couldn't fall more in love with Eliza...
Eliza Sounds So Pretty! My God! I wish I could hear her sing Burn or Helpless!
Lps Valeria that’s Rachelle Ann Go ❤️❤️❤️
Coconut Nut Peenoise?
there's some audio on Tumblr
pinoy pride!! :))
Lps Valeria listen to the first burn she’s in it
Eliza sounds like the original singer someone of them sound like the original cast :3 the background singers sound like the original too o.o
Mulligan, Lafayette, Eliza, and Washington rocked it
I was lucky enough to see them perform last week and I was really struck by how great Burr was. You know those studious, thoughtful slightly awkward guys who somehow end up with really hot girlfriends? Burr was one of those guys. When you see the show it makes so much sense and really gives the character a depth.
Ooshy I also think he made Burr less "villainous", he brings a lot of humanity and nuance to the character
Jonathan NGO VAN DO I agree! He was super relatable.
dayjah32 Different doesn't always mean worse. Personally it seemed like an improvement for me.
dayjah32 I don't understand how their cuteness really plays a factor tbqh...
Evelyn Burgos Isn't the whole point of these stupid thread that people think they aren't cute enough? If that's the case then clearly they aren't picked based on looks.
Awe Rachel Ann Go is so smol
I like Laurens, Madison, Eliza, and Washington. Burr, Jefferson, and Alex I'm still not used to.
R/B The Toku Hufflepuff literally like this just ain’t it
Wherever this show goes it never fails to be amazing!
Not gonna lie... I like the original cast the best. I may get hate comments, but it's just my opinion.
Eliza Redding you don't deserve hate comments i understand the feeling but in heathers
but i love the new cast too
Heishi Rida thank you. I really appreciate it
I do have to agree. I like Schuyler Sisters from this cast but I definitely prefer the original Aaron Burr. And nobody could ever beat Lin at playing Hamilton so I don’t even think it’s fair to compare anyone to him.
Theres no need for hate comments here. You stated an opinion nothing wrong with that. At least you weren’t bashing the London cast like others are. I also agree.
I TOTALY KNOW HOW YOU FEEEELLLLLLLLLLL
They pronounce their r's very defined
Neko Marieee remember that they are British and have to use an unfamiliar accent
I know- not trying to be rude, but just stating lol :)
In what line
When we speak we skip the r's in almost every word if the r is not at the start of the word . The is a slight r sound but its not as defined as Americans say them , so this is probably something they was told about and told to be more defined with the r's. Honestly they said a few words differently to the original cast and it really stood out.
Neko Marieee lol ya cuz they actually pronounce them 🤣
To everyone saying "this Burr isn't as good as the original": I thought that too when I saw it on West End. And then Room Where It Happened happened and honestly now I think he's better.
Guys, any cast of Hamilton is amazing
