I agree with this.If only more Broadway productions had this same type of preservation.

I would've been surprise if you didn't feel that way about it.Peg and I watched the entire thing last night.
So as not to disappoint Mr. Manuel-Miranda--and not be perceived as a thread-crapper--I will simply say we didn't care for it. At all.
One positive thing I will say is that the production was well recorded. The quality (PQ and SQ) was terrific. And I thought the direction of the production was spot-on in terms of maintaining a theater-like quality with the addition of multiple camera angles and close-ups. If only more Broadway productions had this same type of preservation.

I don't think you like rap for one thing.On what do you base that?
The subject of the founding fathers never fails to entrance me. Put it in front of me and I will devour it. And I love musicals. But I can't abide Hamilton. Like you, Chris, I've tried and tried. It's a total fail for me.
All of it (not an easy experience for me). From my perspective, a clear majority of Hamilton is rap and there was maybe only one or two songs (out of dozens) that I didn't hate. But that's just me. I'm all for people liking Hamilton and being introduced to the stories of the amazing men who founded this nation. I've got other ways to hear those stories.

How much would I love to rewatch Come From Away like that?!?!
I tried to find a way to engage closed-captioning for the stream but couldn't figure it out (if it was possible at all). It might have helped me and Peg to understand story development if we could have better understood the lyrics.

Within this production, every word from Leslie Odom was perfectly easy to understand while other cast mates not-so-much.
Your ears aren't as experienced and wise as Mike's, which can make a difference in following fast-paced dialogue.Odd. I thought their diction was impeccable and didn't have any trouble understanding any of it.
