Saw Hamilton this week in Chicago on the mini-moon. Great show indeed. It helped to have listened to the soundtrack, and know the history of Alexander Hamilton. If you hadn't done either, you would struggle with it. Also, since the soundtrack was so unevenly mixed, seeing which characters were doing the singing made the whole thing make more sense.

Lin-Manuel Miranda is a damn genius. Turning a Cabinet meeting about debt assumption into a rap battle that we can understand?

Normally having a musical sung-through is a gigantic distraction (see Miserables, Les), but this wasn't. And I'm not a huge hip-hop or spoken word guy.

As for cost, we got the tickets far enough in advance where we bought them at the list price. However, I think I bought the most uncomfortable theater seat in the entire city of Chicago. Even the Mrs., who is nearly a foot shorter than me, was having problems with it (there were some seating shifts at intermission).
I don't find the singing in Les Miserables to be a gigantic distraction and for me it is a far better musical across the board compared to Hamilton.  But, it takes all kinds. :)

I'd rather have my finger nails plucked than see a musical again.

Did someone bet FOX they couldn't make their US Open coverage worse?  Compared to adding Joel Klatt, Joe Buck seems like a smart choice.

The video production of Fox's golf coverage is easily the best IMO.  The talking head talent isn't.

I must have dreamed it.

It would make a good story if true.

Klatt sucks across the board.

Why's that?After listening to a whole litany of yapping jackels,he seems reasonable.Granted many times I'm watching and commenting on the SOC live game threads or have the radio on but I've listened to too many dim bulbs that are not only inaccurate but boring to boot.IMO he pairs nicely with Johnson.I'll give a closer listen maybe this season and search for your grievances
