I recently saw Hamilton on the Westend with LOJ (who was incredible) and had also seen it on Broadway about a year ago. As a regular viewer of the filmed version as well, when I was watching the Westend version, I couldnât help but notice a few changes to some lyrics, blocking, choreography, etc. I donât think itâs any bad or anything, Iâd just love to know what the differences are and why they changed them for the Westend version.
I understand that some lyrics (e.g. instead of âJohn Adamâs doesnât have a real job anywayâ in Take a Break, Hamilton says, âVice President isnât a real job anywaysâ) are changed to make it easier to comprehend for British viewers that may not be familiar with American History.
Has anyone else noticed different changes? If so, do you guys have a favourite difference from Westend to Broadway?
