MrB and I went to the Broadway production of hot-hot-hot<\/a> musical Hamilton<\/em><\/a> tonight.<\/p>\n

\"hamilton\"<\/p>\n

Despite the uniformly<\/a> rave <\/a>reviews<\/a> for Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hip-hop interpretation<\/a> of Ron Chernow’s 2005 biography of Alexander Hamilton<\/a>, I was dreading the evening a little. I was originally supposed to see Hamilton<\/em> on March 26, when it was downtown at the Public Theater<\/a>. However, the show didn’t go on that night because of a terrible gas explosion that killed two people and destroyed three buildings in the East Village<\/a>, just a couple of blocks away from the Public.\u00a0 When I thought of the play after that, I remembered the smell of smoke in the air that day, so I almost didn’t take the replacement tickets for the Broadway version.<\/p>\n

Now I’m glad I did get those tickets. In fact, I would love to see Hamilton<\/em> again, ASAP. It’s a fabulous retelling of history in 8 Mile<\/em> <\/a>style, with a racially diverse cast, great roles for women<\/a>, and a very funny\/pissy King George III<\/a>. I laughed, I cried … it was better than Cats<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The weather has been starting to cool off over the past few days, so I’m trying to squeeze in a few more summer dresses before fall is here in earnest. I haven’t worn this one in a while.<\/p>\n

\"ungaroresize\"What Wendy Wore to Hamilton<\/strong>
\nDress:<\/strong> Vintage Ungaro (acquired in 2008, seen here<\/a> in 2009)<\/em>
\nShoes:<\/strong> Prada (2010, recently seen here<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

Go see Hamilton<\/em> if you can. Not going to be in New York in the foreseeable future? The cast recording is now available<\/a>. Check it out. You won’t be sorry.<\/p>\n

Also, here’s a nice Vanity Fair piece<\/a> on Leslie Odom Jr.<\/a>, who plays Aaron Burr, the frenemy-turned-killer of Miranda’s Hamilton. The performer of one of the musical’s many show-stopping numbers, Odom visited the New Jersey site of the infamous Burr-Hamilton duel. And here he is again<\/a>, recreating a Burr-related “Got Milk” commercial. Very cute!<\/p>\n
