With this in mind, it is an almost impossible task to highlight individual standout performances (but I’ll endeavour to do so!) Shaq Taylor embodies the character of Hamilton with great stamina and through all its guises, seamlessly taking the audience on his personal journey from an orphaned, immigrant child to a founding father of the United States. Aisha Jawando gave a deeply layered performance as Angelica Schuyler. Her powerhouse vocals teamed perfectly with the tenacity of her rapped verses (exemplified in ‘Satisfied’) added to her ubiquitous presence whenever she was onstage. In the second act, Billy Nevers came into his own as the self-assured Thomas Jefferson. I’m yet to see Nevers tackle a role that he doesn’t fully ring dry of theatrical opportunity and tonight truly was no exception. Special mention must also go to Daniel Boys as the ever-farcical King George. In a role that gives the audience some respite from the political aspects of the show, Boys panders to the audience with his subtle yet effective breaking of the fourth wall, filling the theatre with a convivial atmosphere.

The sheer brilliance of the show's choreography (expertly imagined by Andy Blankenbuehler) is breath-taking. The seamless integration of movement and visual spectacle transports viewers into a meticulously crafted world where every detail contributes to the narrative's richness. The fluidity of the transitions and the grandeur of the set design (by David Korins) generously complement the storytelling, creating an immersive experience that is both visually stunning and emotionally compelling. Adorn atop of this the effectiveness of the light and sound design and the result is simply flawless.
