Observing Hamilton multiple times on stage was enlightening, yet viewing it on the big screen uncovered a fresh insight (leading me on a surprising exploration)
In the heart of local theaters, a 10th anniversary screening of the groundbreaking musical, Hamilton, was celebrated. For one writer, this was an opportunity to revisit a beloved play, and the big-screen experience proved to be more than just a simple rewatch.
The writer, along with their daughter, found themselves immersed in the play once again, singing along to their favourite Hamilton songs. The undivided attention in the theater, a stark contrast to the regular streaming on the play store, seemed to reignite their passion for the play.
Interestingly, the writer suggests that those who have been streaming the movie for the past five years may find something new in the theater. Despite multiple viewings on Disney+, the writer discovered that there is still more to Hamilton that they hadn't seen yet.
During the big-screen experience, the writer noticed details of the play that they hadn't noticed before. One such detail was the subtle musical layering in "The World Was Wide Enough", where movements from "My Shot" and other songs were used to create thematic and emotional continuity, reinforcing character development and narrative cohesion.
The writer delved deeper into the production of Hamilton after their movie theater experience. They listened to an episode of The Hamilcast featuring choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler to learn more about the choreography in "The World Was Wide Enough". Blankenbuehler explained that movements from "My Shot", "Right Hand Man", and "Helpless" were used in the music-less portion of the song.
The writer was surprised that the big-screen experience allowed them to see the familiar production differently. Even their daughter, who also experienced the production differently during the big-screen experience, seemed to share this sentiment.
The writer wonders how anyone can watch Hamilton just once, given the depth and intricacies that can be uncovered with each viewing. It seems that even after a decade, Hamilton continues to captivate audiences and inspire deeper exploration.
