- Why Hamilton Is Better Than The Greatest Showman
Both pieces have exceptional and very catchy songs which are utilized effectively to tell the story and boasting some of Broadway's brightest songwriters: Lin-Manuel Miranda (In the Heights) and Benj Pasek & Justin Paul (Dear Evan Hansen) respectively. While both Hamilton and The Greatest Showmanare set in America's past, the composers lean into mo...
The creators of The Greatest Showman and Hamilton both play with history, eliding, consolidating, and omitting certain events to keep the story moving and its characters relatable. However, both have also been criticized for historical inaccuracies, especially the ones which effectively lionize their heroes - despite lacking historical justificatio...
In addition to the strong leading performances, both pieces are populated by some exceptional talent. The scenes in both Hamilton and The Greatest Showman are well-acted, well-sung, and show moments between characters that crackle with chemistry. Yet it should be noted that the performance requirements for each film are dramatically different. Whil...
Characterized by sharp and stylish choreography, both Hamilton and The Greatest Showman have ensemble numbers that bring down the house. Choreographed by Andy Blankenbuehler and Ashely Wallens, respectively, the design and execution of the athletic movement is incredibly precise and truly enhance the storytelling. However, the pieces differ in thei...
In very different ways, both Hamilton and The Greatest Showman are responsible for some eye-catching and memorable visuals. Hamilton, though designed for the wider scope that an entire Broadway stage allows, director Thomas Kail does a commendable job in adjusting to the on-screen format. For the Disney+ version, Kail oscillates between full-stage ...
The overall stories of Hamilton and Barnum, as depicted in these film incarnations, share many similarities, as noted above. However, certain decision made in the writers' rooms clearly show different approaches to telling their stories. For example, both pieces have a prologue but execute them differently. Before dropping into the primary narrativ...
While both enjoyable, it is Hamilton,with its specific and plot propelling music and choreography, phenomenal live performances, and more challenging, thought-provoking story, that comes out on top. The show distills the story of America's Founding Father down to a digestible, engaging package, taking time to explore not only Alexander Hamilton's l...
- Satisfied. Wait, wait… why is Angelica saying “rewind?” Why do we need to rewind? We had such a lovely night! The transition between “Helpless” and “Satisfied” is Hamilton’s greatest magic trick.
- Helpless. “Helpless” might be pound for pound the best musical moment in all of Hamilton. It’s a simple, seemingly effortless love song that, even removed from the context of the show, would sound beautiful coming out of anyone’s car radio on a lovely summer day.
- Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down) In many ways, “Yorktown” benefits from the precedent that earlier songs like “My Shot” established. This is a song that puts energetic renditions of previous lines like “I’m not throwing away my shot” and “I imagine death so much it feels like a memory” to grand use.
- My Shot. While “You’ll Be Back” may go down as the most enduring karaoke song from Hamilton, “My Shot” is almost certainly the play’s most recognizable and iconic tune.
- The Audience. As strange as it might seem to include the audience on the list, think about how the audience's reaction shape the performance of the show.
- The Ensemble. Speaking of which, not nearly enough credit is given to the collection of talented individuals that make up the show's ensemble. Essentially, the ensemble is responsible for making the story happen.
- Jon Rua as Charles Lee. "I'm a general, whee!" might be the biggest line this guy is known for, but to say he doesn't stand out would be a lie. Introduced in the number "Stay Alive," Rua gives Charles Lee a silly and almost bratty air of defiance.
- Sydney James Hartcourt as Various Characters. Although the Ensemble has already been mentioned, there is one that stands out a little more than the rest.
