I've seen Hamilton live performed by the touring cast, and I've seen Shrek the Musical performed live (and outdoors) by the local community college troupe, and I have to admit Hamilton was better.

[QuickTidal]

At the risk of being unpopular...I have never understood the love for HAMILTON...I hated it, top to bottom. I don't understand the love.

I've been to Hamilton, Ontario. Does that count?

That's where the "Don't squeeze the Charmin!" guy was from, so yes.

I have seen Hamilton live and it is phenomenal. You'll all have a blast (sorry you have to go to Bradford though)

That's where some of my pre-Revolutionary War American ancestors fled from... guess it hasn't gotten any better since. (No doubt they were accused of witchcraft for being in cahoots with Skynet... and the brooms they flew here on were semiautonomous drones.)

I saw it in London earlier this year and it's incredible. Going twice while it's up here as I originally booked to go with a friend and her partner (before Mum had her epiphany).
At the least the Alhambra is a gorgeous old theatre (it would just be better if it could be picked up and put down again somewhere not-Bradford.)

I haven't seen Shrek the Musical but I can only conclude you are most likely correct!

I feel like that about Wicked! Defying Gravity is a belter of a song but beyond that none of it interests me at all.

Was anybody rapping about the US constitution or revolution in France? I think that's the key.

In the Hammer? No, the were probably rapping about steel mills, the traffic on the Skyway bridge, and how Jackson's Square Mall is a stinky shithole stuck in the 80's.

I went to the tip and on a Facebook marketplace selling binge. I feel cleansed.

Grudgingly agreed.


Fun fact my fave story about Hamilton: Once, after a concert (Chantal Kreviazuk IIRC) when I was in my 20's, my friend and I were walking back to our car at around midnight and a man walked up to us in a trench coat, said "Hey pal" and opened one side and said "Wanna buy a ham?" and in his coat he had concealed a full size ham wrapped in butcher paper. I had been expecting drugs...not pork.

Maybe it was stuffed pork... y'know, stuffed with drugs?

I had a similar experience but I was coming out of a drug den and this guy in a black robe asked if I wanted some cold turkey.

I ordered 5 bananas in my online grocery shop, as I do most weeks - 5 items of banana in my basket. They must have had someone new doing the picking because they interpreted a banana item to be a whole bunch. So now I've got, and paid for, 26 bananas.

Do I see banana bread in your future?

Either someone was monkeying around or they really slipped up.
