for the hype it got a few years back im kind of disappointed at how much i had to drag myself through hamilton. its a musical about finances??

#is this your king? #actually king george was the best part #him and lafayette/jefferson #but the whole thing was so boring wtf. and so long #also my opinion as a non-theater kid is that its kinda cringe to cast yourself as the protagonist of the musical you wrote lol

Dying is easy, young man, living is harder.

Why am I just noticing how profound this is now?

It’s like a pat on the shoulders of tired souls, assuring them that their struggling to get through life is seen, and that even though it’s hard work it’s very brave and noble how they manage to keep going. I just love Lin Manuel Miranda.

Audiences gather outside the Lafayette Theater in Harlem during a performance of Hallelujah, 1929. This was one of the first films with an all-black cast produced by a major studio (MGM). It was directed by King Vidor in his talkie debut. The movie premiered at two venues, one in midtown and one in Harlem. Black members of the midtown audience were forced to sit in the balcony.

okay, out of the hamilton casts i've made myself familiar with via bootlegs (which admittedly isn't many compared to some people on here), none have beaten the obc or chicago cast for me but this touring cast is SO fucking good. maybe it's just because i'm seeing them live and have such perfect seats but alexander has the perfect mix of charisma and dorkiness that the role needs, angelica keeps blowing me away with how amazing she's doing, eliza is great and it's hard to be a great eliza imo, idk what else to say, everyone else is just also really good and i love hamilton's set design and choreography so much.

#i almost forgot how much i loved musical theater. oh my god. #i need to see how the lafayette/jefferson and laurens/philip do in act 2 #but very promising so far

Olga (Ollie) Burgoyne

Olga “Ollie” Burgoyne, also known as Ollie Burgoyne-Calloway, was a singer and dancer specializing in Russian and other ethnic dances. She was also an actress and businesswoman who gained popularity during the Harlem Renaissance and left her mark as one of the most influential African American dancers and choreographers of that time.

Ollie Burgoyne was born in Chicago, Illinois, on June 13, 1879. She was part Russian and part Creole. Ollie’s cousin, Ida Forsain, toured Russia and specialized in Cossack dancing. Influenced by Forsain, Burgoyne debuted at age 17 in John Isham’s Oriental America nightclub in Chicago in 1896. In 1901, at age 22, she embarked on an eight-year tour of Europe (Germany, France, Denmark, Switzerland, Hungary, and Russia) with seven singing and dancing girls known as the Louisiana Amazon Guards.

In 1903, Burgoyne briefly returned to the United States and joined the cast of the operetta In Dahomey, which was the first African American musical to be performed on Broadway. After her performance, Burgoyne formed Duo Eclatant with partner Asher Watts. She also founded the Burgoyne Musical Company.

During her years in Russia (1904-1914), Burgoyne performed in many prestigious venues, including the Krestovskiy Garden Amusement Park (St. Petersburg) and the Aumont Theater (Moscow). She also made side trips to Odessa in what is now Ukraine, Athens, Greece, Istanbul, Turkey, and Cairo, Egypt. She opened the Maison Creole lingerie store in downtown St. Petersburg (Russia), where she employed a staff of 27. In August 1914, while Burgoyne was vacationing in Marienbad, Austria, World War I broke out, and she was unable to return to Russia and thus lost her businesses and properties there.

Between 1914 and 1929, Burgoyne continued to tour mainly in western Europe. Her specialties were Brazilian, Spanish, and Russian dances, which she mastered while traveling. She briefly returned to the United States during this period, where she performed in New York City, Chicago nightclubs, and Harlem’s Lafayette Theater. In 1925, Burgoyne produced two dance revues, Darktown Strutters, and Harlem Strutters, in New York. She also appeared in ten Broadway productions between 1926 and 1937.

In 1931, Ollie Burgoyne was named one of the eight major dancers and choreographers of the Harlem Renaissance, part of an elite group that also included Hemsley Winfield, Edna Guy, Randolph Sawyer, Asadata Dafora, Katherine Dunham, Charles Williams, and Pearl Primus. In April 1936, when Burgoyne was 57 years old, she appeared in the play Mississippi Rainbow, performed at the Lafayette Theater. In the later years of her life, Burgoyne taught dance and worked periodically in the film industry, starring in movies such as Laughing (1930) and The Timid Ghost (1937). With a career spanning nearly 50 years, Ollie Burgoyne died on April 2, 1974, in Oxnard, California, at the age of 95.

This 1865 English Neo-Classical in Lafayette, Indiana is huge inside. It has 6bd  4 full baths & 2 1/2baths, and is priced at $885K.

There is a lovely large hall with a full view of the sitting room. 

The sitting room is a very large, long room.

The dining room is also a very large room and currently has a table that seats 10, but it can go bigger.

Just look at the built-in china cabinet- isn’t that magnificent?

And, there’s this sunroom right off the dining room. 

The large kitchen has a good remodel, b/c the finish on the cabinetry matches the home perfectly.

Next to kitchen is an everyday dining room.

Outside the kitchen are the service stairs.

They go up to the 2nd fl. bedrooms and baths.

The bedrooms are all so big, I don’t know what which is the main one. I guess the buyer will have a choice.

One of the full vintage baths.

This a cute room. Love the window seat.

This lovely vintage bath is accessed from the hall or via stairs from the bedroom.

This may be the main bd. Very pretty room.

Look at the built-in drawers in the closet of this huge room.

In the attic is a gigantic ballroom. It looks like there’s a stage in the middle.

Next to the stage is a wet bar.

And, look at this- an inglenook. 

The basement is vast- look at the size of this.

Beautiful bath with a glass block shower. 

Here a big family room that could actually be a nice home theater.

There’s also a large bedroom down here.

And a big bath with a sauna.

There’s a lovely matching 2 car garage.

The home is on a lovely manicured 1 acre lot with the privacy of trees.
