Live theater is an obstacle course, but ‘Hamilton’ at the Pantages is worth it

LA Times  

Jamael Westman and company in a scene from “Hamilton,” which is back at the Hollywood Pantages. Nicholas Christopher’s Aaron Burr delivers the stomping heat in “The Room Where It Happens,” the song in which this careful political operator gives us a glimpse of his murderous ambition. Carvens Lissaint finds the gospel glory in “One Last Time,” George Washington’s principled political farewell. The character’s inner life is held up in this tender portrayal like a chamber illuminated by the glow of a bedside candle One question I had is how well “Hamilton” would hold up in an era that is vastly different from when this musical first burst on the scene in 2015. “Hamilton,” when you’re ready to return to the theater, is worth another look.
