[Colorado-Talk] important, "Hamilton" audio described

[Sherry Gomes]

I agree. And I know I'd be unhappy if they talked over too much of the singing, but it was like having no description at all, and there were so many moments I wanted to know what was happening.

I agree with this assessment. I watched with someone who said that the description missed so many details. Essentially, it was little better than having the soundtrack because there was so much they didn't tell you. I understand the philosophy of not talking over the music, but they didn't even use the opportunities they had during transitions.

I've listened to some really excellent audio description, but what Disney provided wouldn't fall into that category for me. This is only my opinion, of course. I was hoping for more.

We had a better audio describer when I saw it live.

In any case, I appreciate the opportunity to listen to another audio description of the performance.

Thanks for sharing this.

Nancy

Yes, however, according to Bonnie (who describes for films, TV, plays, ballet, and more) the description was poor and sparce. I recommend you try this version to get professional accurate audio description.

My wife and I went over to a friend's house on Saturday and watched Hamilton, it was described on Disney!

Hi NFB folks,
What an opportunity this is.

My friend Bonnie Barlow (professional audio describer) is scheduling a Zoom meeting for "Hamilton" for Sunday, July 12 at 2:00 p.m.  Mountain time. She will start with some pre-show information and start the actual describing at approximately 2:30. Mountain time.  The show is about 2-1/2 hours long.  If you would like to join, let Bonnie know and she will send you an e-mail invitation that day.  You can join on computer or phone or laptop.  Bonnie will be sharing her screen for both the video and audio to be seen by participants.

To get on the zoom call and the play bill beforehand contact Bonnie at:
