I’ve seen Hamilton three times, once each in LA, SF, and Chicago. Only in Chicago was I surprised as a huge part of the audience responded to King George’s “Every-bo-dy!” with the whole “da-da-da, dat-da, dat, da-da-da, da-ya-da...” bit. Oh, my heavens! I can’t tell you how satisfying that was!
Should audiences sing along? Here in the UK we have the panto tradition which encourages full participation from booing and hissing the villains to screaming at ghosts and singing along to every song. I am waiting for the Company sing along version and especially both Another Hundred People and then Not Getting Married Today which will separate the wheat from the chaff!
Hi, Lois! The homework is optional. There won't be much discussion in the class, we have way too many shows to go through. I look forward to seeing you in class.

To be fair that part of the song is almost written to sing along with!
Agreed! The point being that we’re so trained to NOT sing, we wouldn’t dare do it.

I’m concerned about the homework part. Is it mandatory to participate in the discussion? I’m shy.

I’ll be there!
Very weak...
