7/2020 review: on TV – streaming – Mrs. Q says: Saw it again. The other half wanted to see it again—-so. The best thing about this time: IT WAS FREE and you can be in your favorite chair/enjoying your favorite libation. Mrs. Q still thinks it is over-rated but this time not overpriced. Also, during the live performance at the theater, the orchestra, at times, was too loud and made it more difficult to understand the performers. The at-home movie, without the live orchestra, made for a better experience regarding understanding some of the words.
2017 review: Q-tips say: Way OVERPRICED (Don’t care if you got discounted tickets, it is still overpriced) & OVER-RATED.
Mrs. Q says: See it if you must. If you like rap and hip-hop, this is the musical play for you. The “man bun” contingent in the audience must of thought is was great with all the “Yahoo’s and yelling after each segment” even when someone just steps on stage before he said or did anything. It is very loud, and many times you cannot understand what they are saying(singing, rapping, screaming, etc.) However, Mrs. Q DID like what they did with the stage and stage lighting. The best part of the evening is going to “Shaw’s Crab house” for dinner.
Lin-Manuel Miranda, the playwright and lyricist, is laughing all the way to the bank with wheelbarrows of money. If there is Part II of another play like this, count me out! Spamilton??? No, Thank you.
