Hamilton London - 2018 Olivier Awards Performance

[@katherinehall1798]

I kinda find it ironic how there's a British cast performing a musical about American history in Hamilton, and an American cast performing a musical about British history in Six

[@maryanderham]

Finally, someone mentioned it

[@trishareddy2570]

I feel like they should have kept their British accents, like how the Broadway cast of Six didn’t switch to a British accent. I feel like some of the actors aren’t showing their full potential by focusing on their fake accents

[@corporalanonymous4589]

I've seen him and the best way to describe it is that Jonathan groff plays George as pretty camp and sassy whilst the west end version just sounds so done with Americans 😂 and a bit more sarcastic of course.

[@ErinKHayes-un5vl]

I know why they sound odd! The London cast is using a standard American accent whereas certain characters in the US Hamilton are using New York City accents. Leslie Odom Jr. is from Queens and has a rhotic R, which is why he says "landlord/afford" without pronouncing the R in those words. English folks also have a rhotic R, so using a non-rhotic R makes them sound more American for the play. It's also a good stylistic choice. In the US Hamilton, they want to emphasize New York City, but that's not the game plan as much for the London Hamilton. Using the non-rhotic R for Aaron Burr makes him sound nerdier almost.

[@grantmalone]

You're mixing up rhotic and non-rhotic. Rhotic is when you do pronounce the strong R. Interesting point about playing to specific crowds. What's interesting though is that the "odd" New York accent in the British version is probably more accurate historically. British English was largely rhotic until the 19th century, when the non-rhotic accent gradually spread from the upper classes as people imitated it. Large US east coast trading cities like Boston and New York had a lot of contact with the British, even after the revolution, and the non-rhotic R spread there too. At the time of Hamilton though, people in New York would still have a rhotic accent I think. It would be New YoRk, not New Yawk.

This Burr’s voice is so unique i love it

[@night_rhi469]

OH MAH GASH it's Rachelle!!!! She sang in first burn!!!! She looks perfect for Eliza But I like Rachelle and Pippa equally

[@basmalaalkhalaf7270]

Eliza voice was amazing and she was so pretty aaa! Also burr's accent was 10/10

[@phoebe9047]

No because can we talk about how great everyone sounds together? Like when they get together and sing that "Take you time" I'm getting chills.

[@CharlieTheAstronaut]

I like this cast as well, only Burr sounds like he does not fit in there, not saying he is not great, just not in this role perhaps...

[@CrazyFangirlReviews]

I agree I don't think his voice fits the role of Burr. He has a good voice just doesn't fit the character

[@thorandlundeve]

I think it's not his voice. The way they sang is quiet different in tone, rhythm, and pitching

[@jetadvincula6759]

@@thorandlundeve kind of agree with you, also its how he delivers the lines, maybe we're just so used (me personally) on how Leslie Odom Jr. did Aaron Burr. It just didn't somehow convey the emotion we should be feeling.

[@LOL-dd6fn]

I disagree, i thought he sounded awsome. I get some people may not have liked his voice but i really love the voice he put on. It's different but i like it

[@CharlieTheAstronaut]

@@thorandlundeve Exactly, I just don't feel it.

A proud Filipino here! I'm so proud of her ahihihi

[@ladyragdollgreen]

She gave me shivers!

[@Kate-he8ug]

I mean, people in the comments are saying bad things about aaron burr, and he is incredibly talented, and of course he belongs on that stage. Also, I doubt that anyone could really live up to Leslie Odom Jr, who is also very talented

[@Ditrix88]

Maybe I'm too used to the American version, but I think this Burr needs a lot more energy.

[@chokeimgay]

He has a speech impediment and I think that’s what’s holding him back. Nonetheless he’s absolutely amazing

[@raspberrybear4333]

No, he's absolutely fantastic. I saw it in London in May, and he was INCREDIBLE! Some of his songs I thought were even better than the original.

[@youunderestimatedmylazynes3416]

Raspberry Bear I saw this cast in London too and if you look past his speech he was pretty good

[@roems6396]

Raspberry Bear See, I agree that he was missing some of the emotion that Leslie’s performance had for this song. It was much better live?

[@raspberrybear4333]

@@roems6396 His performance here doesn't shed light on him. He is fantastic throughout the show - much, much better live. A lot of actors here aren't shown very well actually, and it's sad to see! They're all so good.

The "Just you wait!" And the the part where they all sing "Never learn to take your time!" Is always so good no matter which cast it is

[@ejtalks_]

I love hamilton so much but does anyone else feel the cast are singing like half a beat too slow - especially in the first 2 minutes of the performance? Happened when I saw them in London too 😞

[@Hey_im_Viv]

Yeah but I think it's because of their strong accents they are trying to "hide". Not sure but I agree it sounds a bit "off".

[@magnoliaskogen]

I noticed it seemed they were intensely enunciating to try to sound American, especially the Rs in the penultimate syllables of words.

[@josephyml]

yeah, it seems too careful and deliberate. not as fluid as i expected

[@Flosgottheflow]

Or maybe, British audiences need it slowed down.

[@witchychlo]

It’s always like that live, even the broadway version isn’t as fast as the album.

[@Elnont]

Jameal as Hamilton is honestly perfect casting, he was so brilliant when I saw him.

[@theirishninjasanimations]

Totally agree! And this is his third show ever as well!? He is amazing.

[@javencummins1426]

I love Hercules and Eliza's actors for this version, they are amazing!

[@rainsilverio7178]

I really loved their voices, the choreography and heartfelt performances you wanted to see live. Every words they sang, makes you want to know Alexander Hamilton story.

[@BethCody]

I'm sitting here wondering why I recognise Burr...he was in Horrible Histories Update (15/07/2020): just saw him on the news about an online theatre show

[@Justin-ev8nn]

I don’t think any cast will beat the original one. They were too good.

i’ve seen both....obc is obviously superior

[@ieshaaafr]

[@bookwoe5120]

I honestly don’t get why people don’t like this cast. They’re amazing, still not like the original but that’s why it’s called the ORIGINAL it’s hard to beat they great though

[@christinasamuel3947]

These acturly are one of the original casts as much as they are not or acturly have 1 member of the original brodway casr these are the original west end cast

[@christinasamuel3947]

Yes they are in this because they are the dance captain and a member of the swing all of the swing are on stadge at 1 point

[@sleepytime2462]

They aren’t bad at all, they are talented but they need to sound “American”

[@-iceylemon-6998]

Naysa Rangai Yeah-

[@-iceylemon-6998]

That’s still pretty hard for them because someone them are British

[@ameliah5919]

Ok this is stolen from another comment I take no credit but these actors are doing the sort of classic American accent whereas the original broadway actors come from all over America, having accents that are still American but they’re different American accents. No hate just trying to inform :)

[@garnet6994]

Theres this musical called six, its british, when Americans do it, it's all chill, but when it's the other way the Americans go all insane

[@ameliappiano]

Garnet so true 😂.

[@hi_wifi_guy]

This cast is amazing. Stop comparing to the original, it's not supposed to compare - they should and did put their own personalities into the characters. AWESOME!
