Review: Hamilton

Hello everybody,


I'm so sorry I'm the worse. I hope it'll get better once I'm finished with my lessons. 

Now let's talk about Hamilton.

The show was absolutely amazing. Better than I ever expected it although my hopes were high from the beginning. I went on a Saturday afternoon. There was a queue outside but we were inside very quickly. The staff was just lovely, very helpfull, friendly and everyone had a smile on their face. The Victoria Palace Theatre is beautiful, very majestic. 

I can't even explain to you how much it means to me that I was able to go and see the show. When the tickets first got released at the end of last year. It was already quite hard to get good tickets to the show that were affordable for me. And I was hoping so much to be able to get them. I think I've never been that nervous before to get tickets to anything and when I finally purchased the tickets (which were about £56 each). I screamed of happiness. I couldn't wait to go there. When I walked into the theatre one of the first things I did was going to one of the merch tilts. I've bought a hoodie which I absolutely love it's so soft and warm. I've also bought a bag and the London programme. But there were so many more things I wanted. Then it was time to first get into the actual theatre I was very astonished on how great the stage looks. I mean I've seen many different videos about the show on YouTube but seeing it live and in person is a whole different thing. I couldn't wait for it to begin. And then the show started and throughout the whole show I laughed and cried and I was singing to every song in my head. Even tho I've listened to the soundtrack many times before and still do it I just never get bored or sick of it. But I guess the best thing is that now when I listen to it I have the visuals saved in my mind and I keep playing them back in there and it feels so much more complete. But this wouldn't be possible if the actors and everyone else from the Victoria Palace Theatre wouldn't do their jobs as great as they do them. The cast was perfectly cast, the choreographies are amazing as well as the costumes and of course the songs. 
I sat at the stalls and I had an amazing view on the stage for the price I paid.
The only thing that was a bit negative to me is that either there weren't enough toilets in the basement/in general or the interval was a bit too short. Because I just made it to the toilet stalls when there was only 5 min of a 20 min interval left and there were still so many people behind me. I don't know if this is like that on all floors or just there.

But all in all, it was amazing and one of the best days of my life and I'm so happy that I was able to see the show and I would recommend it to everyone whether they heard of it before and are fans or they haven't heard about it at all. If I get the chance I would definitely go and see it again.

Love, Steff xxx
