The venue in Vancouver (the Queen Elizabeth Theatre) just totally sucks. As a child all the tropes of theatre I grew up with, red velvet seats, a safety curtain, a stage curtain, dimming of lights ten minutes before the start, a PA saying please take your seats, boxes of malteasers you only find in theatres… all didn’t exist. Place feels like a university lecture hall. Dry and sterile, fitting for a city like Vancouver. What’s more, the lighting (and I literally have never thought, let alone noticed the quality of lighting) was so bright white and jarring at times that I had to quint to see anything. There are better locations the city has to offer but maybe this was the biggest and they wanted more revenue per night. Fair enough I suppose, but another disappointment and example of this city generally having no ability to pull something off to a high level of quality.
The overall experience would be a 10/10. I rated it perfectly because who didn’t enjoy the production? The lighting, the performance, the singing, the actors, and of course the rotating floor!! It was all perfect!! That’s why they really deserved our standing ovation!! 👏🏻👏🏻 The only con here is that the seatings are too close. It’s too suffocating. But hey, it’s just the venue, not the performance! Also, getting tickets is easy thru Ticketmaster, so if you want hassle-free ticketing, just install the app, and you’re done. Again, I highly recommend seeing Hamilton! They will still be performing until July. So better get that ticket so you’ll not regret not seeing this outstanding Broadway production.
Great performance of a wonderful play. It was fantastic! Traveled two provinces away to see it, and if it was coming to my city, I would see it again.
there was so much emotion in all of the lines and I sang to all the songs! Thank you for this great experince 😁
For our 1st Time back seeing a Musical it was INCREDIBLE. Opening Night was FANTASITC. Everyone should see it at least ONCE! LOVE LOVE LOVE
I’ve tried getting tickets multiple times on Broadway but have never been successful so was super excited to get tickets this past weekend in Boston. The Boston opera house is a beautiful theatre and the show was AMAZING!!!!
What a night of incredible voices and choreography that brought history to life. A must see!
The musical Hamilton is a masterpiece from a genius. The performers did a fantastic job of telling the story and I would highly recommend it to anyone, even if musicals aren't your thing.
Touring cast was unbelievable - so talented and giving their all each night. So nice and personable at stage door afterwards. All of the main performers came out afterwards and spent some meaningful time with each person. Perfect entertainment...perfect night!
Fabulous night watching some of the greatest talent ever. Thanks for the memory
This show was so well put together and flowed so well. Not knowing much about this part of American history I had to pay attention more closely but they made it such an easy story to tell. Well done & Bravo!
I knew the soundtrack for this before going in so it was amazing to see it all come to life. The fun surprises were a bonus as was the fact that the audience was enthralled. At one point, during a song break, you could hear a pin drop. That's a sure sign the audience is paying attention.
I finally got to see Hamilton!!! What a performance!!! Great music, acting and comedy mixed in. Having listened to the soundtrack for the last 2 years and picturing the show in my head, the live performance was far more than I expected. The only thing that would have made it even better would have been if Lin Manuel Miranda made a surprise appearance :) The only negative thing I would say is that being a Canadian and not knowing American history very well I didn't understand a couple of the jokes made about John Adams. The audience was laughing and I felt a little lost, but it certainly did not take anything away from the show for me. I loved it and would see it again and again.
What an outstanding performance, brilliant story, beautiful music, all the elements that make a fantastic theatre performance. It made me laugh, cry and be curious about history. The music, the effect it had on me was bloody brilliant. Well done!
This musical is amazing. I saw it in New York and couldn't resist making sure my family saw the tour. This cast is incredible! Honestly,if you haven't seen it....make sure you do!
Outstanding! Moves quickly - didn’t seem like almost 3 hours. Arrive early for ease of parking. Concession area very crowded and short intermission. If you want souvenir better to get ahead or after. Barely enough time to get through the line for one of the theme drinks during intermission. We used the headphone system and heard every word of the performance. Plenty of stalls in women’s bathroom with an attendant moving people along to see the empty ones ahead - virtually no wait at intermission.
Loved “Hamilton” a play that has politics, romance, forgiveness and scandal. All the makings of a great story! Music and choreography are great!
Hamilton did not disappoint. I did have very high expectations because of all the hype and the iincredible effort I went through to get our tickets. Even had to travel 2.5 hours and incur cost of staying overnight in Seattle for the show, but in the end, it was worth it. My 16 year old daughter who wanted to watch this in NY since her birthday last year was just over the moon. This is up there with all the 5 star musicales we have seen.
I wanted to see this play so much because of all the hype but the tickets are so expensive that my husband bought one ticket for me to go see it on Valentine’s Day in Tempe. I was so excited but once the play started I was a little disapponted. It was catchy with the hop hop and rap. But no showtunes to hum on the way out. I couldn’t see the actors faces because I was so high up.
