Karen Olivo played Angelica in the original Chicago production of ‘Hamilton’ from 2016 until 2017. Lexi Lawson played Eliza in the Broadway production of ‘Hamilton’ from July 2016 until October 2018. Christine Allado played Peggy/Maria and was understudy Eliza in the original London production of ‘Hamilton’ from 2017 until 2018.

Lin saying "Stay broke, then" sounds desperate in a funny way. Anthony saying "Stay broke, then" sounds like he's tired of Vanessa being depressing.

[@blkbarbie2671]

I knowww it’s hilarious how tired of her he looks. I feel like if he was allowed to impose more of his own ideas for Usnavi and Vanessa’s relationship, he would have made Usnavi less of a total simp

[@JC_Cali]

It's the awkward look he does as he walks away that drives this point home lmaoooo

[@kiffanikilgrow2104]

In a way this is an Usnavi comparison as well with his “damn we only joking stay broke then”

[@krystalkat1347]

nah I disagree

[@macaedynlafon-cox5716]

I get that for this song. I do think she did better with it won't be long now.

[@ntellaS2]

for me, Melissa fits Carla better I see both Vanessa and Nina as very strong women and in a musical, even if it's a movie, both their looks and their voices need to fit. I just can't see Melissa's Vanessa as a strong fighter, the only thing I got right from her was the dreamer part, because Melissa sounds and looks dreamy, but I just can't feel the same "I'm struggling but I'll get out of it" I get from other Vanessas, just the "I'll get out of it"

In the Argentina production, in Sunrise, in the parts where Nina teaches Benny Spanish ("esquina...corner, tienda...store, bombilla...lightbulb", etc) is mostly kept as written in the original libretto. The chorus ("anything at all can happen just before the sunrise") is in Spanish

[@sorrynotsorry6]

I don't know about DR but in Korea, there aren't many bootlegs of any musicals floating around online because musical fans there generally are anti-boot so filming and uploading boots online is really frowned upon, and the masters for bootlegs are more likely to get arrested by the government if they are caught since the law is more strict there...sorry! You can find official, legally filmed portions of both productions here on KZbin but not the whole thing. (I'm not pro or anti boot by the way, please don't take this as me being anti-boot!)
