Hamilton - The Thread Where It Happens

Yeah I was thinking along the lines of $40 at the show.

 

$250 for a recording?

 

feel like it's something Netflix would pay $100 million for.

 

•f•r•i•e•n•d•s• went for $85mm/year. Not sure if that’s relevant.

 

I think 40-50MM would be more around what they'd actually pay - which is still nuts for a single show.

 

yeah i mean i kinda just threw a number out there. I just think it would be a lot and a good fit for a streaming service.

 

Not it's really not. How many episodes of Friends is there? There would only be 1 Hamilton. It would compare more to a movie than a TV show.

 

I LOVE the show and listen to the soundtrack daily. I can’t imagine watching a recording more than once.

 

Not sure if there’s a lot of crossover Harry Potter/Hamilton fandom but this twitter exchange was enjoyable

 

I would imagine there is a lot of Harry Potter/Hamilton crossover fandom.

 

Leslie Odom jr is performing at ND tonight. Just about to head in to grab my seat. I'm thinking we'll hear wait for it and a few others tonight. Can't wait

 

Is he just singing w a band or something?

 

Yeah if it's like when we saw Renée Elise Goldsberry here, he'll sing solo and with backup singers. Do some original stuff and some from Hamilton. Just a mix of everything. Should be fun

 

That’s awesome.

 

Here we go

 

I am so jealous

 

At intermission. So good. He actually started with Wait For It. He's an amazing performer and singer

 

that was great. he did covers. he did some hamilton. he did some originals. he did a song from rent. packed house (~2000) and a great night. if he happens to come to your city and you are free to go, i definitely recommend it

 

Finally got to see this bad boy for the first time in chicago after having the soundtrack memorized for years. Seeing it in person though felt like I was hearing it for the very first time.

 

Went to Chicago last night. Nothing new to say. Just great. The amount of movements in and out amazed me and the timing is superb. Wife was trying not to sing out loud.

 

Been playing the soundtrack a lot lately. What are everyone’s top 5(ish)most played or favorite numbers?

In no particular order:
Right Hand Man, Guns and Ships, What’d I Miss?, Cabinet 1, all of king George. AH and 10 duel commandments after that.

 

8

 

Already listened to “wait for it” 10 times this AM. Amazing depth at the show. I can’t imagine Leslie live.

 

Not a big fan of wait for it, but I think that it could be a pop single with very little tweaking.

 

Wait For It is probably my most played.
Yorktown 2
Guns and Ships 3
Alexander Hamilton 4
Schuyler sisters and Satisfied right there too

 

Whatd I miss
Helpess...very catchy

 

Wait For It
Dear Theodosia
The Room Where It Happens
Yorktown
Guns and Ships

I love me some Leslie Odom Jr. I also listen to his Christmas album during the winter

 

Same except nonstop for yorktown

 

Nonstop was a tough omission for me and may actually be listened to more but I don’t know how to see actual number of listens.

The World Was Wide Enough and It’s Quiet Uptown would also show really well

 

BTW, I didn’t cry. You cried.

 

My sister “How was the show?”
Me “It was amazing.”
S “I’ve heard it’s a love it or hate it thing”
M “I’ve never heard that and I will fight anyone that says that IRL”
S “Oh, I just heard it is edgy and turns some people off”
wife from the other room“It turns off boomers and Trump supporters tjsblue. No one that actually goes doesn’t like it.”
”Oh well that checks out. May be too many to fight but a promise a promise”. Awkward silence.

W After my sister leaves “I’m starting to question what circles she runs in”
M “agreed” (MarkCubannotetaking.gif).

 

The only people I have heard that don't like it are offended racists that don't like the all minority cast. Some people aren't interested because it's a musical and they just don't like musicals. Which I find ridiculous but can at least understand.

 

I tell you what though as much as I love the soundtrack, I sure am getting tired of "Aaron Burr, Sir." Every time I plug my phone in to charge in my car is plays and so I've grown to hate the little drumroll intro.

I'm sure there's something I can do about this but haven't got around to it.

I am able to recite the "I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours..I may have punched him. It's a blur, sir. He handles the financials?" really well now though.

 

Name it zAaron Burr Sir

 

I'm not asking you to solve my problems daggum it racer just to share a sensible chuckle.

 

What if someone just doesn't like musicals at all, and still went to see it because they thought it could be the musical that changed their minds' about musicals, but sadly still didn't like it that much? Asking for a friend.

 

Go fuck yourself.

I have the honor to be your obedient servant.

They wasted a lot of money.

 

I had that same issue for a while. My new car defaults to the Podcast app which is nice.

 

I'm kidding -- I've never even heard of it outside of this thread. Looks good, but musicals aren't my thing. I'm more interested in people getting their panties in a wad over the style of music.

 

Yeah I’d think that would actually be the one, but they would all be a letdown after that as the first in my opinion. Seeing Rent after Hamilton would be not great Bob.

 

Got these tickets for xmas. Hurray. Think they got them for free, but apparently they cost $700 per?

 

You can get in for under $100 if you're patient. IDK what they paid but some are very expensive

 

Or be like me and win the $10 lottery for row 2

 

Copped tickets this morning for Jacksonville in March. Further back than I wanted but it's all I could find available on their site during launch. May sell and move forward.

 

GF got me tickets in NYC for my birthday next week and I am super excited. Any suggestions for dinner nearby beforehand?

 

If you like Sushi, I ate here when I went to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Really good Sushi and shockingly affordable by Manhattan standards.

Thanks for the reminder, bud. Just got mine.
