LESLIE BURR WEST END REVIEW

I had the honor of seeing Leslie as Burr in London today so I thought I'd write a quick review.

1. Right at the beginning of the show, Leslie comes on stage and tries to start singing his song but is cut off by roaring applause so he had to wait till everyone stopped cheering and then had to restart

2. After I Know Him King George sits down on a stool on the side of the stage and immediately starts dancing and hopping around and generally being really goofy. As Leslie came on during The Adams Administration he turns and looks at King George who just very enthusiastically waves at him while bouncing in his seat. The audience was laughing so much and it was all so ridiculous that Leslie broke character and started laughing.

3. During the scene where Phillip is showing Hamilton his singing/piano/french skills (🎶and i just turned nine. You can write rhymes but you cant write mine🎶) he spammed that toddler squat dance which was super goofy and then ran off jumping and twirling.

4. I will forever be confused by the fact that they changed the "Weehawken. Dawn. Guns. Drawn." lyric to "Jersey. Dawn. Guns. Drawn." in the West End version. When I saw the show a month ago I thought the actor just messed up the lyric by accident but nope.

5. Leslie played Burr completely differently than he did 10 years ago (yeah duh but still it was nice). In the pro-shot he's more fierce and almost madly driven to succeed no matter what. In this production, Burr is all smiles and he's very playful and cheery about the whole thing. He portrayed Burr as more sensitive and as if he really did care about Hamilton. When he shot Hamilton he cried through a couple lines.

6. In general, all the actors KILLED it and even when Leslie's run ends it's worth watching this cast. I saw the 25/26 cast in June and was kind of worried I'd get bored during the show since I've seen it so many times but all of the performers really made these characters their own and gave all of them their own little quirks that made you feel like you were watching a whole new show.

7. THE SEATS!! I sat in the royal circle slips AA1 and please DONT SIT THERE it was worse than people said on seatplan. I only saw half of the stage (and thats me being generous) even when leaning forwards so there were times when id miss whole songs that were on the right side of the stage. If it's not your first time seeing the show live and you're there for a celebrity casting like Leslie that you want to see close by then sure you can consider it but i don't think it was worth it

Because this is first and foremost a VERY SNOBBISH (😂) London theatre blog:

If you want to see Oliver! with Simon Lipkin -before he's replaced by Matt Lucas- they've announced reduced prices for midweek performances in the first three weeks of September.

Stalls are £50, dress circle £40. ✌🏻
