For those who have seen this, how is the view from the seats on the far side orchestra? I realize it is a very small, intimate venue, but do you miss any of the action?
Wow, that was a little stressful this Monday morning. Finally got front row mezz, but tickets are up to $199 for front mezz, and $549 for premium orchestra. geez.

"I agree. Broadway Jukebox tonight was incredible. Going home just buzzing! Hope I can sleep!
I will agree that the content in the panels has been pretty great. I am not one to chase after autographs and photos (however, I will be in line for JGroff photo tomorrow), and am not obsessed with fanboy/girl side of the con. I actually have no problem with the lines for the events and MainStage events. I have been to ComicCon, and this is nothing.
I have been chuckling in my head that these theater people are sooo dang dramatic (lol). C

Actually, her album has received pretty good reviews from Rolling Stone magazine and the NY Times.
I like Taylor Swift's 1989, but it is still formulaic pop music. It does not bring anything new to the table. I think Hamilton crosses genres and is truly groundbreaking. It also seems to have s
I think I enjoyed the online content at 60 minutes even more than the broadcast. They could have easily done a full hour on Hamilton. Just so happy to see this breaking into the mainstream. Usually when I talk about Broadway shows to friends, they have no clue what I am talking about. I am always pleasantly surprised to see when they get a Hamilton reference.

Totally agree. God help us if Taylor Swift would be considered superior by the Grammy voters.
I saw this in Las Vegas on Friday. It was here for a full one week run. I would have to say it was the equivalent of an average college production. The leads were pretty good, but the production overall is very mediocre. The set is basically a big wall in the back with projections, and there are some stairs that they move around from time to time to represent the various sets. The old ladies with blue hair in the audience seem impressed, but I could not wai
Just did a little research and saw that Judy Garland won in 1962 for her Judy at Carnegie Hall album. Of course that was a very different time.
There have also been a couple of soundtracks that have won - The Bodyguard, and O Brother Where Art Thou. Not sure about any previous cast recording nominations though.
How wonderful that would be for Broadway to just have a nominee in the running for the big award.
What are the chances Hamilton could be nominated or even win Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards? Has any Broadway cast recording ever been nominated or won Album of the Year?
I haven't seen the show yet, and have only listened to the OBCR. Will be in NYC in January to finally see it live. The orchestrations are so lush and beautiful on the recording. How do they compare live, or is it just the magic of the studio?
Mr. Nowack said: ""Satisfied" should have been the track EW listed. Or at the very least "The Room Where It Happens."
I agree. I am loving listening to "Helpless" and "Satisfied". I am not seeing this until January, and could not resist in totally immersing myself in this recording. Makes me want to see the show even more.
