Broadway hit Hamilton made its debut in Singapore on April 19 as part of the production’s inaugural international tour.
With a musical score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway, Hamilton tells the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton, from his arrival to the American colonies to his pivotal role in shaping the nation, culminating in his unfortunate demise at the hands of a bitter rival. DeAundre’ Woods also does an impressive job playing Aaron Burr, the de facto antagonist of the story. His performance elicits empathy from the audience during the moments that his character makes difficult decisions as he attempts to establish a name for himself without running afoul of the powers that be or finding himself on the wrong side of public opinion.
It was a little difficult to understand what David Park was saying/rapping as Marquis de Lafayette with his thick french accent, but he became an instant crowd favourite when he returned to the stage as the flamboyant and rambunctious Thomas Jefferson.
