Review: HAMILTON at Ohio Theatre
by Paul Batterson - Jul 11, 2025

The June 9 performance of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s epic musical HAMILTON may have opened under a cloud of disappointment at the Ohio Theatre (39 E. State Street in downtown Columbus). Before the opening curtain, theatergoers learned the roles of Aaron Burr and Angelica Schuyler, two of the lynch pins in the sweeping story of Revolutionary War America, were to be played by understudies Hosea Mundi and Alexandrea Reynolds respectively. Jorge Guerra (Sam Seabury) and Kevin Murakami (Charles Lee) were also understudies who played in the June 9 performance.

Review: HAMILTON at Providence Performing Arts Center
by Jay Pateakos - Dec 13, 2024

While I may have been one of the few in the audience who had never seen Hamilton before-you can tell by the amount of people who sing along to just about every song-it was still the rarest of musicals, a combination of history and the best jazz, hip-hop and R&B music ever combined.

by Theresa Bertram - Aug 23, 2024

Truthfully, it is big shoes to fill when the expectation on a show is so high due to how accessible the Broadway show was to us, but the new Angelica cast blew us all away.  We soaked in every emotion they were giving us, and there were many tears all around me during the sad moments.
