I love how serious they both took it the audience was laughing in the beginning but Lin and Raúl were IN IT and they pulled the audience in, too
-
Hamilton and Barba practiced the law. They practically perfected it.
-
Alexander Hamilton and Rafael Barba arguing is the best thing in the world.
-
Not miscast at all. It took the audience a moment, but halfway through, actors and audience are all in it completely. It's truly beautiful and heartfelt.
-
I love it how Raúl goes from comedy to "wow such talent" in like 0.5 seconds
-
seems perfectly cast to me
-
I feel like Raul has a hard time being campy with something like this, he starts out over-the-top and transitions into a really serious and heartfelt performance almost instantly. He and Lin-Manuel are an incredible duo, I can only hope and pray we'll see something with these two together in the future.

Audience laughing Raul: just wait and see, let me put all my emotions in this song Audience:........
-
OH MY GOD Lin-Manuel as Anita omgomg
-
i take a break from SVU for ONE SECOND...
-
damn RIGHT that "life" note from raul deserved the mid-song applause!! unreal. and the harmony at the end is simply gorgeous
-
This is the greatest duo ever on Miscast! Raúl's accent was so on point, it was hilarious
-
If there was a male Anita of course it would be Lin. He is incredible!
-
Is anyone else a Hamilton/Law and Order:SVU/Broadway fan?
-
I didn't even realize this was Lin I just clicked on it and almost screamed when he came on screen
-
Lin is a wonderful creator, performer, interpreter, actor but as far as vocal singing, Raul is the man and they both know it.
-
I'm so late but Raul's smile when he sings "I love him, we are one, there's nothing to be done~" is like. The best.
-
Oh my god I take a 20-minute break from listening to Hamilton in order to look up other Broadway videos, and what do I stumble upon but this. It's as if the universe if telling me there is no escape from Lin-Manuel Miranda. XD Also on the serious vs. campy topic, I believe the actors were playing it straight, but as Miscast songs are generally humorous, the audience was finding the comedy in it.
-
As far as singing, Esparza is just brilliant. When he hits the climax notes during the lyrics, "all.....of my life", and the fact that he holds the money note on the word, "life", for as long as he dies, is also just brilliant. It gives such depth and resonance to that entire phrase. Of course, the the vocal quality he attained when he sang the last note just knocked it out of the park.

i've grown so accustomed to seeing Raul as a tv actor that now his voice catches me off guard. ugh i got chills. :')
