I went to fashion school, so it was great to see the exhibition as if it were a fashion show. But it was more than that—it was the story told through the Queen’s clothes. I was struck by the care she took when visiting other countries, having outfits specially made for the occasion. That attention to detail and respect for other cultures is a great example that’s sorely lacking these days.

Hamilton completely lives up to the immense hype! From the very first number, the energy is electric. The way the lyrics are written is pure genius. The cast is phenomenal, bringing passion and charisma to every role. The choreography and the rotating stage are also amazing. If you have the chance to see it, take it. Do not throw away your shot!

We took the tour with Nathan. He shared lots of interesting facts and jokes, and knew exactly where to stand to get the best view of the changing of the guard. We stood at three different spots, and since we were always right up front, we had a perfect view. (There was a lot of pollen from the trees.)
