The invitation on the splash page of the show's website makes it sound like show is, but the fieworks are over the Hudson and "people can also listen to a 12-minute musical compilation of Americana that accompanies the display via simulcast by logging on to www.hamiltonbroadway.com/fireworks."
A transfer review of a show always goes by default to the original reviewer and of course it is Ben's prerogative. And there is zero chance he is going to pass the Broadway review of the most important musical of his tenure to Ish.
"Ben was there Monday night. A transfer review of a show always goes by default to the original reviewer and of course it is Ben's prerogative. And there is zero chance he is going to pass the Broadway review of the most important musical of his tenure to Ish."
Makes sense. I just wondered if, from a journalistic standpoint, the parties involved might want a more fresh perspective since Ben had already reviewed the show.

I find the fireworks gauche. Like, "We're almost literally going to throw away a couple of hundred grand now into the air now. Thanks for buying all those Premium seats, folks!"

I consider myself team-Hamilton, but I do think the fireworks are kinda over the top. You know if Harvey did this for Finding Neverland's opening people would have nothing but bad things to say.
If this happened for finding Neverland , some here would still be going on about it, I mean they still are going on about Harvey!
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

We were talking about a lot of the little details of this opening night at work the other day (glossy passes for the party, nice wristbands, and continually running shuttles) and we were trying to guesstimate the cost of all this. Of course, later that day they announced the fireworks, and we just gave up.
