FRIDAY: CULTURE

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your king, George III. Welcome to Hamilton. At this time, please silence all cell phones and other electronic devices. All photography and video recording is strictly prohibited. Thank you, and enjoy my show.”

The audience in the crowded theater begins to murmur excitedly as the house lights dim. You cannot believe this night has arrived. You are wedged into a velvet seat, a $15 plastic cup of pinot grigio and a $10 macadamia white chocolate cookie balanced gingerly on your knees, which are jammed into the seat back in front of you. It took years to get these tickets, and between the seats, the rushed dinner beforehand, parking, and the inevitable drinks after, you wonder whether this masterpiece is really going to be worth the cost.

You could opt for the other option: walk over to your comfortable sofa in your sweatpants, place a giant bowl of hot, freshly buttered popcorn on your lap, and watch the show on Disney+ for the same monthly price as that cookie. You’d see it with the original cast, including Lin-Manuel Miranda in the starring role, with every facial expression and intricately choreographed movement captured in 4K Ultra HD. The best of Broadway, brought right into your home.
