Company – HAMILTON National Tour- (c) Joan Marcus

It’s a special feeling having Hamilton back in town.  This is the third tour to stop in Salt Lake City at the Eccles Theater.  It’s almost hard to believe that we’ve been this fortunate to have this show in our state this many times.  And this time the Hamilton is here for a five-week run!  I think it’s pretty clear that I don’t need to mention how big this show is.  It is THE musical of this generation.  It will go down in history as one of the greatest of all time.  Lin-Manuel Miranda created a masterpiece that will be unmatched in so many ways.

I sat at my computer looking at the blank document for a long time. I wondered what I could possibly say about this modern musical theater masterpiece.  Is there an angle or breakdown of Hamilton that hasn’t already been covered?  The more I thought about it, the more white and blank the document became.  The answer is most likely, no, there isn’t much to say about Hamilton that hasn’t been said over the last six or seven years. But what I can and will comment on is my experience with Hamilton, and my review of the cast I saw in the And Peggy Tour here in Salt Lake City at the Eccles Theater.  Wish me luck!

Renée Elise Goldsberry w/ the Utah Symphony July 20, 2019, Deer Valley

When I saw the 2019 Deer Valley Music Festival Utah Symphony summer lineup, one of the first names that stuck out was Renée Elise Goldsberry.  Renée has had an extensive career on Broadway, but the reason she is headlining this concert is due to her originating the role of Angelica Schuyler in the smash-hit musical, Hamilton.  Ever heard of it? Not only did she originate that role, but she won a Drama Desk, Grammy and Tony Award for her performance. So I knew when her name was announced, I knew that I had to be at the Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater to see this performance.  I’m so glad I didn’t miss this.
