It is nice to see theaters opening up around the world again. It may not be happening in the US but seeing that other countries are moving forward seems to be a positive sign. This review didn't say much, or anything at all, about the technical elements of the Australian Hamilton production. The reviews for the cast sound good but this doesn't seem to be any major must-see show or thrilling new production. I am wondering that with the original Hamilton Broadway recording now available for streaming how will affect the live theater market as the pandemic regulations begin to shift and hopefully allow for more theaters to open? I am guessing that the pandemic had a major effect on Disney releasing the streaming version of the show but how will it affect the longevity of the live show? The streamed version opened up theater to a lot of new viewers but does that mean that why will ever try to experience it in person or will they be content with the at home version?
