The cast of “Hamilton” returned Sunday in the room where it happened, at least metaphorically.
To mark the 10th anniversary of the opening of the program, 28 members of the original distribution – the creator of the series, Lin -Manuel Miranda, as well as the other stars, whole members, swings and standbys – gathered on stage at the radio City Music Hall and interpreted a mixture of some of the biggest songs in musical: “Guns and Ships”, “My Shot”, “The Schuyler Sister” “,” Guns and Ships “,” To Be, “The Schuyler Sister”, “,” Guns and Ships “,” To Be, “The Schuyler Sister”, “,” Guns and Ships “,” To Be, “The Schuyler Sister”, “,” Guns and Ships “,” “The Schuyler spells” “Yorktown,” eyes. “
They did not get dressed in the vintage costumes of the show, but in a range of haute couture evening clothes – all black with some accents focused on the characters (Lafayette obtained the French beret; Burr has a duel’s cape; and King George the color splash: Royal Red).
They did not say a word, but Cynthia Erivo, host of Tony Awards this year and in 2016, the only musical artist to win a Tony for any show other than “Hamilton”, praised the production.
“Hamilton has invigorated the American theater and changed not only Broadway, but how the Americans consider their own history,” said Erivo, before adding with irony, “at least” I am told. “”
“Hamilton” opened its doors in Broadway on August 6, 2015. The following spring, he was nominated for a record of 16 Tony Awards, then, during a Tonys ceremony at the Beacon Theater, It won 11 Prices, including the best musical. (The event was memorable for many reasons – among them, he occurred for hours after the deadly shooting of the nightclub in Florida, which led the casting “Hamilton” to abandon the use of muskets in its production issue, and encouraged Miranda to give to his Speech of acceptance “Love is love”.)
The show quickly became the biggest phenomenon that Broadway had seen for some time, and during the decade since then, it only becomes greater, in rotation of touring companies, streaming live capture film On Disney +, increase by around $ 3 billion in North America and still strong.
