I love this show. I’ve seen it six times in NYC and once on tour. Last weekend made it the second time I’ve seen it with this specific cast, and I just… am so sad.

Perhaps it’s a hard show to get right. Perhaps America was going through an awful time and that weighed on everyone. But both times I’ve seen it with this cast the energy has just been…not there.

This past time, Eliza’s (Morgan Anita Wood) vocals and Washington’s (J. Quinton Johnson) vocals carried the entire show.

Hamilton’s (Trey Curtis) overall performance felt lifeless.

The biggest disappointment was Angelica’s (Stephanie Umoh) vocals. I am convinced she was sick, or had something else going on the past times I’ve seen her as well). I was so bummed. There were times where you could barely hear her and certain vocal choices felt deliberate to protect her voice.

Peggy was also noticeably flat several times during Say No to This.

Burr’s microphone also completely cut out towards the end of the show.

I have been reading other people’s comments in this subreddit about it so I just wanted to get anymore insight others might have. It’s hard as we travel in from Canada to see this show, and I was really hoping it would be better this time. I had plans to bring my parents to NYC to see it but I find myself waiting for a recast.

What are your thoughts of the current cast?
