<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We had a better audio describer when I saw it live.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In any case, I appreciate the opportunity to listen to another audio description of the performance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for sharing this.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi NFB folks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What an opportunity this is.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br clear="all">
To get on the zoom call and the play bill beforehand contact Bonnie at:<o:p></o:p></p>
