This post is brought to you in partnership with Broadway in Portland. I received complimentary tickets to the show. Opinions are my own.
Have you ever had an experience that you can’t quite believe was real? I am still pinching myself that my husband and I were lucky enough to attend Hamilton during its run in Portland, Oregon.
In the car on the way to the Keller Auditorium, we were talking about the show, and wondering if it would live up to its reputation. After seeing this show, all I can say is #WorthTheHype! (I may or may not be a little worried that Hamilton has ruined me for future theater experiences!) It was THAT good.
With book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, Hamilton is based on Ron Chernow’s biography of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton is the story of America’s Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington’s right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and was the new nation’s first Treasury Secretary. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B, and Broadway, Hamilton is the story of America then, as told by America now.
Never has American history or musical theater been more accessible. Hamilton truly is revolutionary. Lin-Manuel Miranda has created a masterful production that blends history with not only the arts – but with passion. Feeling the fire and fight of our founding fathers is both humbling and extraordinary. Hamilton yes – tells the story behind those who worked to create our country from the ground up – but it also speaks to the audience-goer in a very real and personal way. It’s hard to experience something like Hamilton – and NOT feel inspired to fight for change, to take a stand, to fight for your beliefs, to RISE UP!
During a time in our country when political battles are the norm – Hamilton also reminds us that everyone is just fighting for what they believe in. Like the founding fathers, we won’t always see eye to eye – and we probably won’t always be civil- but the world is wide enough for us all.
With an OUTSTANDING company, Hamilton will wow you. These amazingly gifted actors will stir you- as they bring the history that shaped our country to life. I left the theater with hope, questions, and curiosity. I left feeling young, scrappy, and hungry – and eager to find out more about the men and women of the revolution. I’ve said it before -but I firmly believe the world to be a better place because of musical theater -and I am grateful to Hamilton for shaking up the landscape of theater – drawing in the crowds, and inspiring a nation (again!)
Hamilton will be in Portland at the Keller Auditorium through April 8th.
