Great vocals and harmony
"The rapping was a bit fast so didn’t get all the words but got the gist of Hamiltons life. The important thing for me was the music and vocals and choreography that was amazing. Everyone was on pitch and gave an emotional performance. The band was amazing and synchronized perfectly. Will return. "

Best Talent on Broadway!
"Hamilton is HANDS DOWN the best show on Broadway! The talent is out of this world… AMAZING!! We laughed we loved we cried… truly a remarkable show, a once in a lifetime experience.
Recommend for kids 10+ IF they’re interested in history or love Broadway in general. (Not an average 10 year old.) Took my almost 10 year old who is VERY into history AND moreover wants to be on Broadway someday - this was unequivocally the best day of her whole life lol. Enjoy!! "

"after all the fantastic reviews this was all those and more. from the opening I was entranced by the performances, the costumes and the sheer craftsmanship of all involved. I laughed and I cried. I do not think a musical has ever moved me to tears as this performance has and was with me for well over 24 hours. i am emotionally exhausted in a wonderful way
Thank you to all. This is what art is about!"

Absolutely Breathtaking
"Trey Curtis, Tamar Greene, and Jin Ha delivered unforgettable performances filled with power, heart, and authenticity. Their voices, presence, and emotional depth brought the story to life in a way that was truly moving. The energy on stage was electric, and I left the theater inspired and amazed. This was my third time seeing the show and the second time for my kids and we're already thinking about seeing it again this summer. "

Awesome Cast
"Our family didn't get the chance to see the original cast, instead watched on Disney +. We fell in love with the show and planned a trip out to NYC to see it on Broadway. The cast was so good you could have taken any of them and put them into the original cast and not loose anything in transition. A few of my favorites were Aaron Burr, Thomas Jefferson, John Lauren/Philip Hamilton, and King George. Although all were fantastic. Only criticism is that of the venue itself, the lobby area was so narrow and tight. Theater seating was a bit cramped too. But once the performers took stage everything else faded away. Would definitely recommend. I read the same book as Lin-Manuel Miranda did and am so blown away by his creativity in reading historical literature and able to transform that into one of the best Broadway shows out there. "

Rap Revolution
"We found it incredibly entertaining. The talent was exceptional. Choreography top notch.
Singing , dancing and Story telling thru music was fun!
The rap music was so fast I often couldn’t hear what was being said but it did not deter at all from the show"

Beyond Expectations
"Hamilton was my first Broadway play, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I had heard that it was good, but those claims didn't do the play justice. The acting and singing were phenomenal. The music was brilliant. I don't know if I'll get the opportunity to see another Broadway play, but anything in the future now has an extremely high bar to clear. Hamilton was fantastic."

Totally Surprised
"On a recent trip to NYC with my daughter and 15 yo granddaughter, we decided to see Hamilton at my granddaughters request. She had seen clips during a history class. I thought it might be a good time to catch a nap in a nice warm theatre. Much to my surprise I was pulled in immediately and found myself crying a few times near the end. I would totally recommend this show to anyone \ it was brilliant. "
