We got a chance to see "Hamilton" again last night at the Kennedy Center and if you're anywhere near Washington you should run to see Nicholas Christopher's Aaron Burr, (and last night we saw an alternate Hamilton Edred Utomi, who is really just as strikingly good as LMM). It almost seems as if Christopher's is more menacing and deep in tone in his portrayal of Burr. I love Leslie Odom but Christopher should be on Broadway. (Even his dancing is tremendous; in "The Room Where It Happens" when Burr jumps off the table/tablecloth he does an unbelievable tour en l'air and a double pirouette that's amazing!) Aside from some terrible sound mixing moments, this whole cast and production is just as grand as Broadway. If you know either of these guys, tell them how great they are doing! I hope at least Nicholas Christopher gets to be on the KC Honors at Christmastime.

I totally agree with your assessment! I saw them both twice since the tour got to DC. Out of the 4 different actors I've seen as Hamilton, Edred Utomi is mu favorite.

How were the understudies for Angelica and Peggy last night (a friend of mine was there as well)?
Hey Dottie! Did your colleagues enjoy the cake even though your cat decided to sit on it? ~GuyfromGermany
