Hamilton Broadway Tour Review 2026 | Sound, Staging & Performance Analysis

🎭 In this episode of The Silly Nerdy & Wordy Podcast, I review the June 6, 2026 performance of Hamilton at the Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC) in Durham, North Carolina. Rather than focusing on the story, I break down the technical elements that make Hamilton one of Broadway's most impressive productions—from the rotating stage during "My Shot" to the choreography, sound design, lighting cues, and standout performances from the touring cast. I also discuss the challenges of performing Lin-Manuel Miranda's rapid-fire lyrics live, actors playing multiple roles, and why A.D. Weaver's George Washington performance stood out. Plus, a Nerdy Note update on The Greatest Showman stage musical. 🎧 Available on Spotify | Apple Podcasts | iHeart Radio | YouTube Music | Audible | Amazon Music | Podbean | Podcast Addict – just search The Silly Nerdy & Wordy Podcast.
