To me it sounds like they are trying to differentiate from the 1st cast way too much. But I'm sure they are all great performers, no doubts about that.
I've seen him and the best way to describe it is that Jonathan groff plays George as pretty camp and sassy whilst the west end version just sounds so done with Americans 😂 and a bit more sarcastic of course. As much as groff puts in the effort he says a lot of words weirdly like "sad" or "mad" and this one fixes it
I kinda find it ironic how there's a British cast performing a musical about American history in Hamilton, and an American cast performing a musical about British history in Six
I feel like they should have kept their British accents, like how the Broadway cast of Six didn’t switch to a British accent. I feel like some of the actors aren’t showing their full potential by focusing on their fake accents
And British and American casts all played Austrians in The Sound of Music. Let alone a recent West End production of Uncle Vanya and not a Russian in the cast..............Heaven forbid!!!
I saw Hamilton on Disney plus and now I'm just binge watching every Hamilton related videos. Also kicking myself HARD for not going to see this before coronavirus hit and theaters are closed everywhere. Man, did I .. *throw away my shot.* 😭😭
What's funny is that Hamilton himself was only about 5'7, whereas Jamael Westman is 6'4, almost a foot taller =P Lin-Manuel Miranda is far closer to his actual height
You can tell they're music theatre actors, every inch of every work is perfectly crisp and pronounced, whereas some of the OBC had more of a casual flow.
@@Tillysnow1 Yes, it's always been this big! It doesn't look as big on the actual set because they're spread apart, whereas this stage is slightly smaller
It’s not, every live show is slower than the album, even the original Broadway cast, just to make the show worth seeing they stretch it out and add scenes.
@@livreece7438 I've seen an interview with lin, and he says that he doesn't cast people to sound like the original cast, and that everyone sings the part in their own way. I personally went to see this play in London and I was blown away by how amazing it was, especially Burr, and he didn't overdo the accent at all. There's a reason he won an award for this performance, but I can't remember which one.
And she’s just below 5 ft (I might be wrong) which is why Jamaal (spelling?) , the guy who plays Hamilton, looks way taller. And on camera with the angles too.
I know why they sound odd! The London cast is using a standard American accent whereas certain characters in the US Hamilton are using New York City accents. Leslie Odom Jr. is from Queens and has a rhotic R, which is why he says "landlord/afford" without pronouncing the R in those words. English folks also have a rhotic R, so using a non-rhotic R makes them sound more American for the play. It's also a good stylistic choice. In the US Hamilton, they want to emphasize New York City, but that's not the game plan as much for the London Hamilton. Using the non-rhotic R for Aaron Burr makes him sound nerdier almost.
You're mixing up rhotic and non-rhotic. Rhotic is when you do pronounce the strong R. Interesting point about playing to specific crowds. What's interesting though is that the "odd" New York accent in the British version is probably more accurate historically. British English was largely rhotic until the 19th century, when the non-rhotic accent gradually spread from the upper classes as people imitated it. Large US east coast trading cities like Boston and New York had a lot of contact with the British, even after the revolution, and the non-rhotic R spread there too. At the time of Hamilton though, people in New York would still have a rhotic accent I think. It would be New YoRk, not New Yawk.
i do think leslie was the iconic burr and will always be, but then again everyone is so different!! if you go to an audition NO ONE IS THE SAME it’s crazy!! even though some might have done it a bit better, we should respect those others who worked hard for the role they desired :)
XxKingJPXx Xx no sorry, i made that comment cause in the comment section everyone was talking about how they like Pippa so much better and I was like the other Eliza needs more support here. So I said that...sorry if it came off rude
Haha! The cast are super talented. I am loving to see other casts away from the OBC cast too (because y’know, Disney plus.) Just like different adaptions. It’s beautiful.
whaaat!! he was amazing on stage and i loved his interaction with the crowd, but i never got to meet him! i wanted to meet the cast but thought it was impossible (we were all hungry, so we went to go eat instantly)
I know! In my opinion its harder for a brit to put on an american accent. But anyways, the american cast already had the accent so of course people will think they are better. I have full respect for this cast
@@julialelewel4477 Their job is to tell the story to their audience and they’re performing for a British audience. When I watch British shows I keep on the captions, because I don’t always understand the accents (I’m from the States). I imagine if they were as full of New York swagger as the American cast, the British audience wouldn’t catch all the lyrics. Their very proper enunciation would be corny to an American audience, but they’re not performing for an American audience.
as an american i think this cast did extraordinary. i’m still obsessed with this performance. not sure why so many people are overanalyzing the accents
It's such a weird thing to complain about. I'm sure Americans have just as many slips when trying to put on British or French accents! I think the cst did a great job.
I'm so glad they went for such a different interpretation of the characters. I think a lot of casts make the mistake of trying to mimic the original casts because that's what everyone's used to from the recordings, but that's not what theatre is all about. You're supposed to have a different experience from night to night, never mind cast to cast. It's not meant to be standardized. This is a much better approach.
Ok this is stolen from another comment I take no credit but these actors are doing the sort of classic American accent whereas the original broadway actors come from all over America, having accents that are still American but they’re different American accents. No hate just trying to inform :)
Unfortunately I’m not that fond of how the guy who played Burr did the rapping. He doesn’t quite have the intonation and word emphasis down right. He sings the rap a bit too much. He sounds like his “Wait for It” would be amazing though!
@@thorandlundeve kind of agree with you, also its how he delivers the lines, maybe we're just so used (me personally) on how Leslie Odom Jr. did Aaron Burr. It just didn't somehow convey the emotion we should be feeling.
I disagree, i thought he sounded awsome. I get some people may not have liked his voice but i really love the voice he put on. It's different but i like it
People seem to forget that they had to eliminate their accents. This is especially hard when singing. And i bet you they would be getting no hate if the just said hamilton the "American" way. This cast is awsome
@@roems6396 His performance here doesn't shed light on him. He is fantastic throughout the show - much, much better live. A lot of actors here aren't shown very well actually, and it's sad to see! They're all so good.
I'm sitting here wondering why I recognise Burr...he was in Horrible Histories Update (15/07/2020): just saw him on the news about an online theatre show
The guy here is great, don’t get me wrong, but this makes me appreciated Leslie Odom Jr. a lot!! The way he speaks/sings is so captivating and distinctly American that melds so well with the rap/hip hop music!!! Love that man!
I love hamilton so much but does anyone else feel the cast are singing like half a beat too slow - especially in the first 2 minutes of the performance? Happened when I saw them in London too 😞
I mean, people in the comments are saying bad things about aaron burr, and he is incredibly talented, and of course he belongs on that stage. Also, I doubt that anyone could really live up to Leslie Odom Jr, who is also very talented
Not really. Most of us brits aren't bothered about American independence at all and we all take the piss out of the royal family. We're all confused by America's adoration for their independence cause we just don't care about them leaving very much 😅😂
ewok 25 Oh okay 😂😂😂 it’s like a kid winning a participation award for baseball and being super excited about it and the parents don’t care at all... idk 😂
@@drdough7982 more like a younger brother and an elder brother who had a fued that only the younger one can remember, because the older one just got bored of their failure and the younger one was shocked at how well it went 😂
I’m curious how the British would feel when they watch a show about America defecting their country- Edit: Alright, alright. Thanks for telling me. It’s a little hard picturing what it’s like to be in other country’s shoes so I asked. Thanks a lot for replying
I saw it in London and they all seemed to enjoy it. Though I expected more of a reaction at the line about New York being "the greatest city in the world," I laughed a little at it and looked around but everyone else was just watching the stage.
This Eliza and Burr seem to exceptional. No offense, I know it's a choice, but my observation is that this Alexander looks kind of bored. Also, some of them are doing a great job....but they're thinking about the accent too much, they need to relax!
I honestly don’t get why people don’t like this cast. They’re amazing, still not like the original but that’s why it’s called the ORIGINAL it’s hard to beat they great though
These acturly are one of the original casts as much as they are not or acturly have 1 member of the original brodway casr these are the original west end cast
I feel like the only ones that truly embodied their character were Hercules mulligan, washington, and Eliza. This cast just really lost the funk that Lin gave this music.
My first ever visit down to London was to see this for my 33rd birthday. Blew me away at how utterly phenomenal it was. I was sceptic going down that I had built it up so much having fell in love with the cast album but it was by far the greatest thing I have ever seen in any form. Can't wait to go back down in 2019 to see it again.
The London one was amazing and I personally before this cast more. Everyone in the comments is saying they prefer the USA version, but you can't really judge unless you've seen at least one live, honestly
James Madison looks like Zion Williamson No hate, he deserved that role so much and it fits him. I'm just pointing that out for Basketball-Hamilton Fans
I saw most of this cast on Saturday and it was amazing Lafayette aka Jefferson was so dam funny and burr was amazing and Eliza. PS when Laurens died I cryed my eyes out XD and the burr in this was on horrible histories
all the bashing of this cast is so sad. They're all brilliant and deserve to be there and perform.
I I mean no.....it’s really not that good. It’s stilted and awkward.
I would love to see people hating on them doing it better haha (1 Year Late Ya Know)
To me it sounds like they are trying to differentiate from the 1st cast way too much. But I'm sure they are all great performers, no doubts about that.
sprucie solilotree why are they being bashed tf
I kind of prefer most of the London cast🤭
4 and a half minutes of British people trying to not sound British

Wow i did not know that haha now i want to
XD I edited it so no one knows what I said in this reply
I’m british and seeing more british people trying to do an American accent is making me die of laughter
I love how some of them aren't even British
They're over pronouncing some sounds in words, I think they should have gotten an American to touch up on the accents
Omg their accents stinkkkk they still sound good tho
Same, burr sounds like a cowboy and Hamilton looks like my year 6 P.E teacher.
I feel like they were overreacting on the American accent but I agree they should’ve had someone who was American to touch up on the accents.
Eliza is sung by Rachelle Ann Go, who also sung part of First Burn, and she’s killing it!
I love her as Gigi in Miss Saigon
Viani Toledo I think she played Gigi, but yeah, I loved her too
Little Panda her voice is incredible
Wow Rachelle Ann Go is already playing in Hamilton 💪👏👏
I saw her in the thumbnail and was like, “GURRRRRL!” 😂 she was definitely the strongest singer imo

aaron burr needs to relax the accent slightly. he's overdoing it, but it's lowkey making me chuckle and I'm here for it.
Right, he was doing the accent to harshly but it was okay
It's not that he's trying too hard to do an American accent, he just has a voice irregularity.
That's part of his act

Is that mah gurl Rachelle? Oh boi. I'm Asian and I know a lot about her.
yes it's her :D
She's philipino though
@@oliviag469 You are aware that the Philippines are in Asia, right?
Anonymous Aelin rightt 💀
Asians be like: OH RACHELLE HI
People seem to forget that they had to eliminate their accents. This is especially hard when singing. And i bet you they would be getting no hate if the just said hamilton the "American" way. This cast is awsome
It’s so funny, the Aussie shot is getting love and praise because it’s super easy for us to sound American and it’s just the saddest
2:34
That girl to Hamilton’s right who grabs the book from his hands be like:

Rachelle Ann Go- Eliza😍
A proud Filipino here! I'm so proud of her ahihihi
She gave me shivers!
😭😭😭 Alex gets his coat, books and bag from the three people who loved him the most: Eliza, Angelica and Philip (or Laurens for some of you).
Stacey Smith it’s lauren’s because his hair is in a ponytail but Phillips hair is down
bella liu the actor cant put his hair up or down in seconds so that’s not exactly and accurate way to tell, no offense tho
Maybe I'm too used to the American version, but I think this Burr needs a lot more energy.
He has a speech impediment and I think that’s what’s holding him back. Nonetheless he’s absolutely amazing
No, he's absolutely fantastic. I saw it in London in May, and he was INCREDIBLE! Some of his songs I thought were even better than the original.
Raspberry Bear I saw this cast in London too and if you look past his speech he was pretty good
Raspberry Bear
See, I agree that he was missing some of the emotion that Leslie’s performance had for this song. It was much better live?
@@roems6396 His performance here doesn't shed light on him. He is fantastic throughout the show - much, much better live. A lot of actors here aren't shown very well actually, and it's sad to see! They're all so good.
I'm sitting here wondering why I recognise Burr...he was in Horrible Histories
Update (15/07/2020): just saw him on the news about an online theatre show
Beth Cody wdym
What really?! Who was he?
@@mollymarch286 he did the HHTV Sports
Oh my god yes!!
The guy here is great, don’t get me wrong, but this makes me appreciated Leslie Odom Jr. a lot!! The way he speaks/sings is so captivating and distinctly American that melds so well with the rap/hip hop music!!! Love that man!
This Burr is disappointing. He completely lacks the charisma and mildly Machiavellian-but-still-main-character “Iago” energy the character needs.
SECOND,
HAMILTON IS AMAZING, THE WEST END PRODUCTION ARE UTTERLY FANTASTIC
I love hamilton so much but does anyone else feel the cast are singing like half a beat too slow - especially in the first 2 minutes of the performance? Happened when I saw them in London too 😞
Yeah but I think it's because of their strong accents they are trying to "hide". Not sure but I agree it sounds a bit "off".
I noticed it seemed they were intensely enunciating to try to sound American, especially the Rs in the penultimate syllables of words.
yeah, it seems too careful and deliberate. not as fluid as i expected
Or maybe, British audiences need it slowed down.
It’s always like that live, even the broadway version isn’t as fast as the album.
i know people genuinely like this but to me i just feel like the only part of this i liked was Eliza.
I mean, people in the comments are saying bad things about aaron burr, and he is incredibly talented, and of course he belongs on that stage. Also, I doubt that anyone could really live up to Leslie Odom Jr, who is also very talented
Wow this Eliza is truly amazing!
Ikrrr
This Burr’s voice is so unique i love it
OH MAH GASH it's Rachelle!!!!
She sang in first burn!!!!
She looks perfect for Eliza
But I like Rachelle and Pippa equally
Eliza voice was amazing and she was so pretty aaa!
Also burr's accent was 10/10
I’m sure he’s really talented, but the guy they have as Burr here does just not fit
WHY HE SOUND LIKE MR. MOSBY😂
PLS LMAOOOO MY EXACT THOUGHTS
I’m crying😭😭😭😂😂😂
I'm mad I know exactly who your talking about😭😂😂😂
This must be the most awkward place to perform this 😂😂😂
Not really. Most of us brits aren't bothered about American independence at all and we all take the piss out of the royal family. We're all confused by America's adoration for their independence cause we just don't care about them leaving very much 😅😂
ewok 25
Oh okay 😂😂😂 it’s like a kid winning a participation award for baseball and being super excited about it and the parents don’t care at all... idk 😂
@@drdough7982 more like a younger brother and an elder brother who had a fued that only the younger one can remember, because the older one just got bored of their failure and the younger one was shocked at how well it went 😂
@@dankit2548 lmao the pride about independence is a meme.
@@Priya-zc1mi oh absolutely we just don't understand it 😂
Eliza’s voice is amazing
I’m curious how the British would feel when they watch a show about America defecting their country-
Edit: Alright, alright. Thanks for telling me. It’s a little hard picturing what it’s like to be in other country’s shoes so I asked. Thanks a lot for replying
They don't care. Has nothing to do with the people alive in the UK.
I saw it in London and they all seemed to enjoy it. Though I expected more of a reaction at the line about New York being "the greatest city in the world," I laughed a little at it and looked around but everyone else was just watching the stage.
@@cedoniapeterson9239 Americans are much more patriotic then Britain, we don't give a shit
We literally do not care lol
C Peterson no one in the UK would get offended by that lmao... London is a shithole
I love Hercules and Eliza's actors for this version, they are amazing!
This Eliza and Burr seem to exceptional.
No offense, I know it's a choice, but my observation is that this Alexander looks kind of bored.
Also, some of them are doing a great job....but they're thinking about the accent too much, they need to relax!
I honestly don’t get why people don’t like this cast. They’re amazing, still not like the original but that’s why it’s called the ORIGINAL it’s hard to beat they great though
These acturly are one of the original casts as much as they are not or acturly have 1 member of the original brodway casr these are the original west end cast
Yes they are in this because they are the dance captain and a member of the swing all of the swing are on stadge at 1 point
I feel like the only ones that truly embodied their character were Hercules mulligan, washington, and Eliza. This cast just really lost the funk that Lin gave this music.
Elizas voice is beautifullll😍😍, Burr and Hamilton needs more energy😕
the person who played eliza sounds amazing!
My first ever visit down to London was to see this for my 33rd birthday. Blew me away at how utterly phenomenal it was. I was sceptic going down that I had built it up so much having fell in love with the cast album but it was by far the greatest thing I have ever seen in any form. Can't wait to go back down in 2019 to see it again.
Graham Paisley Can I have you're new ticket? XD JK cause you need proof you bought it
I NEED A BOOTLEG OF THIS (of this cast)
PLEASE
I'm cracking up at the height difference between Alexander and Eliza 😂😂😂
After I watched this on Disney + I can’t imagine any other actors playing these roles! (Even though these people are amazing!)
No because can we talk about how great everyone sounds together? Like when they get together and sing that "Take you time" I'm getting chills.
I love Hamilton and Alexander Hamilton I live in London
Why is this man a giant compared to all of them?
3:07 ALWAYS gives me chills
Destiny Gamer RIGHTTTT
Hamiltan
No being rude, I'm british so I have nothing to joke about
@Laura Martin-Falla Ik I'm just like
Hamilton? I'm British and I can pronounce it
Aron burr is not just not and Jon Laurence by being a ...lot .....smarter then by fourteen😦
The London one was amazing and I personally before this cast more. Everyone in the comments is saying they prefer the USA version, but you can't really judge unless you've seen at least one live, honestly
I don’t think any cast will beat the original one. They were too good.
i’ve seen both....obc is obviously superior
We need Hamilton in the 🇵🇭 with RAG as Eliza Schuyler.
trueee
In a way, it's surreal because of the musical's perspective on Britain. Now I want to see king George
Plot twist: King George is the only American cast member
Omg this Eliza sounds great!! ❤
James Madison looks like Zion Williamson
No hate, he deserved that role so much and it fits him. I'm just pointing that out for Basketball-Hamilton Fans
it’s not zion 😭
I saw most of this cast on Saturday and it was amazing Lafayette aka Jefferson was so dam funny and burr was amazing and Eliza.
PS when Laurens died I cryed my eyes out XD and the burr in this was on horrible histories
RACHELLE ANN GO IS FREAK'N KILLING IT!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Eliza sounds amazing ❤😭
Why did pronounce alexander hamilton like that
Alexsander homilton
He’s scottish. Got a problem with that? Considering Alexander was actually a “Scotsman” it’s actually more accurate.
@@brookexx1998 okay buddy
BasicRoots not ur buddy xx
0:06 I’m sorry, he just sounds like Mr. Moseby from Sweet life of Zack and Cody
Omg I love Eliza and burr
