However, because I&#8217;m so familiar with the original cast&#8217;s recording that&#8217;s available to stream, I had no such expectations for a life-changing experience in the movie theater, regardless of the bigger screen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I figured my daughter and I would enjoy our <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/hamilton-turns-10-talk-why-234111455.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:favorite Hamilton songs;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">favorite <em>Hamilton<\/em> songs<\/a> while munching on popcorn and singing along as loud as we deemed appropriate. Those things did happen, but I also <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/news\/2551409\/hamilton-26-cool-background-things-to-look-for-the-next-time-you-watch\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:noticed details of the play that I hadn\u2019t before;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">noticed details of the play that I hadn\u2019t before<\/a>. Imagine my surprise when my teenager leaned over and whispered that she, too, had only just realized that the choreography during the music-less portion of \u201cThe World Was Wide Enough\u201d took movements from \u201cMy Shot\u201d and other numbers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now, I\u2019m sure this is not news to many <em>Hamilton<\/em> fans out there, but I was honestly shocked that not only had this big-screen experience allowed me to see the familiar production differently, but that my daughter had the exact same experience. Why?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">My guess is that when I\u2019m watching the movie at home, I\u2019m less dialed in by the two-and-a-half hour mark. In the theater, however, there was nothing else fighting for my attention, and this newfound detail I\u2019d come upon renewed my passion for the play all over again.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Lin-Manuel Miranda in Hamilton\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/JsLUIIJJn7.l8z4XCGJTQg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/69c3724e973476d8f7f7dfda6c64763d\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Credit: Disney<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">I Went Down A Rabbit Hole Following My Hamilton Experience<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Just like in the days following my first viewing of <em>Hamilton<\/em> on Disney+, my movie theater experience inspired me to learn more about the production. I really wanted to confirm what we had noticed about \u201cThe World Was Wide Enough,\u201d so I threw on the first of three episodes of <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thehamilcast.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Hamilcast;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><em>The Hamilcast<\/em><\/a> that featured choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There was definitely some <em>Hamilton<\/em> sorcery happening because my question was answered \u2014 in detail \u2014 in the first 15 minutes of that podcast episode. The choreographer explained that not only were movements taken from \u201cMy Shot\u201d for that Act II number but from \u201cRight Hand Man\u201d and \u201cHelpless,\u201d as Alexander Hamilton\u2019s life flashes before his eyes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">OK, consider me officially down the rabbit hole, because apparently \u2014 despite so many repeated viewings of <em>Hamilton<\/em> \u2014 there\u2019s so much more that I haven\u2019t seen yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While my daughter and I had our own experience in the movie theater, I\u2019d like to think that others who have streamed the movie regularly for the past five years also were able to walk away with something new. And I really wonder how anyone is able to watch this movie just once.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Hamilton<\/em> is available to stream on Disney+, and check your local theaters to see if a 10th anniversary screening is playing near you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
