- Hamilton is a phenomenal Broadway Musical, and Lin-Manuel Miranda outdid himself with the score and Alexander Hamilton! In my "Winter's Ball", "Helpless", and "Satisfied" (From "Hamilton")" reaction I listen to MORE of possibly my new FAVORITE broadway musical!
I'm a radio DJ reacting to "Winter's Ball", "Helpless", and "Satisfied" (From "Hamilton")" since it was not on the radio in the US! Listen to "Winter's Ball", "Helpless", and "Satisfied" (From "Hamilton")" on @usnavi's channel here:
• "A Winter's Ball" from...
• "Helpless" from HAMILTON
• "Satisfied" from HAMILTON

Hamilton: An American Musical is a sung-and-rapped-through musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda. It tells the story of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. Miranda said he was inspired to write the musical after reading the 2004 biography Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow.
The show draws heavily from hip hop, as well as R&B, pop, soul, and traditional-style show tunes. It casts non-white actors as the Founding Fathers and other historical figures. Miranda described Hamilton as about "America then, as told by America now."
It's my first time listening to Hamilton and my first time listening to "Winter's Ball", "Helpless", and "Satisfied" (From "Hamilton")"

Apparently, the choreography for helpless/satisfied was some of the hardest in the show. The cast finished learning it and then got to the stage with the turntables and basically had to relearn it because the turntables made it even more complicated.
Edit: Also, historically speaking, Hamilton and Angelica were very good friends and she was one of his political allies, but there probably wasn't anything romantic between them. Hamilton and John Laurens, on the other hand...
If I recall correctly, the idea of her being interested in him comes mostly from one letter where she says something about them possibly doing stuff. However, since no other letter's come anywhere near this idea, it's generally accepted that this was a joke and/or impacted by the fact she was pregnant when she wrote it.
Also, the choreography for A Winter's Ball, and Helpless get carried over to Satisfied since this is the same event but from Angelica's persepctive instead.
Also, in canon timeline, Anjelica is already married by the point that she meets Hamilton, an elopement because her father disapproved of the man she loved.
@@KyliaSkydancer in the real world she was married, in the musical she mentions in a later song when she gets married. So she isn't married at this point in musical canon.
I think Angelica's character actually displays some of the same themes we saw in "Surface Pressure" about how the older sibling ends up shouldering the burden. I've seen some jokes online about the idea of "eldest daughter syndrome," which stems from the storytelling trope that the firstborn girl takes on an almost maternal level of responsibility for her younger siblings, and is willing to make all these silent sacrifices for the sake of her family. I don't think this characterization exactly describes Angelica, but we do start to see the theme of her willingness to put her sister's happiness above her own.
I am the oldest sister. I don't think there is an end of things I would do for younger siblings. If they need it I'll find a way to provide it.
Well... Actually it's Isabella that's the eldest and not Luisa... But I think Luisa should have been eldest, Mirabel as the forgotten middle child, and Isabella as the youngest perfect golden child.
I was SHOCKED when I found out Luisa wasn't the oldest. Her song hit me the most since I'm also the eldest and only girl on top of that and Luisa gave off pure Oldest Sister Energy. Satisfied hits me in a similar way, especially when she talks about loving her sister more than anything. I'd go to the ends of the earth for my little brothers 💖
@@naxurr8697 That makes sense too. But there are also cases of how the eldest are everyone's favorite when they have this 'perfect' persona. And then there's either the forgotten middle child, or the try-hard one to prove that they can be of the same level of great with the eldest. And the either spoiled, or not forgotten but no one cares about youngest.
Well this is just done for dramatic effect in the play, historically it did not happen this way. When Eliza and Hamilton met, Angelica was already married, had two children, and was living in London. They did have a flirtation in their letter to each other but that was it. Also, in the song she says her father had no sons, but there were (I think) 7 Schuyler children, several of them were boys. Plus, Angelica ran off to get married without her father’s approval.
The craziet thing about Satisfied is how the crew just does Choreography from Helpless but in reverse and wiith stop frames.
literally! that must be so confusing and difficult to do while singing two very different songs
"I never like to see people cry, even if it's in theater."
My man, get that seat belt buckled.
No no no nooooooo… lol
Its qiuet uptown...
*who lives who dies gently starts playing*
@@lily-zj7in yep! That gets me even in act one when Washington says it to Hamilton…
Eliza and hamtion
thing one: I LOVE a good rotating stage, and this one is used MASTERFULLY. The choreography is absolutely stunning.
thing two: When I was driving around with my sister (also a musical theatre nerd), listening to this, we got through Satisfied, and she was like 'oh, that's so sad', and I looked over and said 'Oh, my sweet summer child, we haven't even gotten to act two yet." Hold on to your butts
At the same time I’m scared and excited for where this is gonna end up
@@YoBGS YOU SHOULD BE 😂😅 some damn good stuff coming up
@@YoBGS In case no one has told you yet, the choreography for Helpless and Satisfied is completely repeated. Watch Peggy in particular! At the start of Winter's Ball you can see that woman in the white dress and the three men dance over to her, she crosses the room, and then Hamilton walks over and pushes Lafayette away from Angelica? That's all stuff you've already seen by the time Satisfied happens! It's so masterful. The rewind is a literal rewind, up to the man sliding across the stage as Angelica starts her toast.
@@darsynia Satisfied side-by-side with Winter's Ball and Helpless. th-cam.com/video/wD2LdRGyhwY/w-d-xo.html
The rotating stage is one of my favorite things about watching the musical! I can’t get over any scene that includes them dancing as they rotate. The scene in My Shot when they all freeze is amazing!
The "Rewind" moment is one of the coolest stage choreography affects I have ever seen. Glad you appreciated it as much as I did the first time I saw it.
Paying attention to the background dancers will come with repeated watches. Every time I watch Hamilton I see something new
The fun part is when you rewatch this and start looking for ''the bullet'' and how she interacts with the characters throughout the show
I did the same thing once I found out about “The Bullet”…it’s so cool, who she touches (never good!) who won’t take something from her…brilliant idea whoever came up with that.
All three of these songs are my favorite, we get the goofyness before the Party, we see Eliza falling in Love till they get married, then we get an unbelievable rewind to see it all from Angelica. That rewind was synced up perfectly!
me too!!! i loveeee satisfied!! my favorite songs are probably Satisfied, Room Where It Happens, Burn and Say No To This
@@klosux When we went to see hamilton I told my dad I was basing my look off of Maria, dear god his concern later on.
@@luanaastralis9991 lmao 😭😭 ur lucky though for seeing hamilton i could never since i live in asia 😭
@@klosux Oof May you rest in peace (though hopefully one day it will go to Asia, it'll probably go to bigger, more well-known countries but at least then it will be easier to go to)
Satisfied is so freaking good. Another reactor I watched said "How to win a Tony in five minutes".
That’s such a great way to put it. I was just crushed by its contrast to Helpless. Like it broke me
And add to that, being the one that LMM said didn’t flub a line. Jeez…
@@YoBGS i guess you could say
BOI IT GOT U HELPLESS
As a theatre kid there's alot of training one can do and clearly she has done to not only speak quickly but clearly. Enunciation is very important in theatre because the audience needs to be able to understand you, even if your mic works without issue it's pointless if your lines are slurred together. When I was in adv. drama in high school we always did vocal warmups before performing: Topeka topeka topeka topeka. Bodega bodega bodega bodega. Topeka bodega topeka bodega topeka bodega topeka bodega is one example as well as many others. So yea no she's not breathing and she's been training for months to not breath.😂
Stop I’ve been in drama class since freshman year and Topeka bodega lives in my mind rent free 😭😭 although my favorite is to “sit in solemn silence...”
@@salty_katt THAT'S MY FAVORITE OMG!
To sit in solemn silence in a dull dark dock
In a pestulencial prison with a lifelong lock
Awaiting the sensation of a short sharp shock
From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!
Two other songs I'd say you should group together would be "Story of Tonight - Repriced" and "Wait for it", becouse they directly flow into each other.
"When is this going to go horribly wrong?" Act 2
Satisfied is one of my favourite musical numbers. The way it relates to helpless, the pure talent of Renee Elise Goldsberry, just all of it is incredible
Hamilton day is my favorite day 😩
It's so gooooood!
Agreed
I mean, there is a battle ocurring in "Satisfied", but not an external battle with Eliza. If Alexander had an internal battle even half as strong during either "Say No To This" or "Hurricane", Eliza would have grown old with her husband and seen her first son have kids, presumably. Instead, she went through shit that I would say makes her perfectly reasonable if she wanted to burn the entire city of Weehawken, NJ.
Satisfied is one of my favorite songs and performances in this musical, it's unreal, Reneé Elise GoldsBerry as Angelica is truly astounding.
This is one of the songs that I connect to the most, because there's always something about unrequited love, or love that is not meant to be that hurts me and the best way possible. A pleasurable kind of ache.
Love is an act of giving and letting go, which is what Angelica does. She gives her sister what she wants, and let's the one she loves go.
A wonderful piece of art.
Yee, the thing you noticed about Burr was right
Continue to notice, because you can cleary hear the annoyance and anger in his voice later on
This was SUCH a fun show to audition for on Broadway. I made it through the first audition and the first round of callbacks and it was easily my favorite audition memory.
That's so wild!! Congrats for even making it through the first audition!
You: "It's ART"
Me, sobbing, hand to mouth watching you experience for the first time: YES! YES IT IS!!!! *sobs more*
Later, you: I don't want to see anybody cry
Us: OH NOOOOOO
Order for the next songs to watch:
[The story of tonight-reprise, Wait for it]
[Stay Alive, Ten Duel Commandments, Meet me inside]
[That Would be enough]
[Guns and Ships, History has its eyes on you]
[Yorktown]
[What comes next? Dear Theodosia, Laurens interlude]
[Non-Stop]
And that will finish Act One for you.
Just took a big ole screen shot of this because this is awesome. Thank you so much!
In the beginning of A Winter's Ball when you hear that melody that is like Alexander Hamilton reprise, that is the narration melody. Remember, Aaron Burr is telling you this story. He often starts a scene with a little narration to set the stage if you will. 😊 Good call on watching the D+ version by the way! And thanks for sharing.
13:08 When he says “when is this gonna go horribly wrong “
I say “when Alex says “they thank me Macbeth”
"Hamilton bit of a player there" huh, that's a statement
No spoilers
Subscribed. I appreciate that you have just the right mix of commentary and silence. That's rare and indicates, to me at least, that you're actually paying attention and commenting only when you've found a relevant thought. Every one of your previous "Hamilton" reactions have been a joy to watch. Keep it up.
If your interested in more Oversimplified, I would suggest checking out their video "The War of the Bucket", it goes in-depth with the complicated politics of the Holy Roman Empire, and the power struggles between the Emperor and Pope, but with all that awesome Oversimplified humor.
I'm also gonna suggest the band Sabaton again, as I would highly suggest checking them out, with their songs like "Screaming Eagles", "Stormtroopers", and "Race to the Sea" being some of my favorites.
(also great content, keep up the great work!).
The look on your face at 15:19 is the reason you needed to do all three of these songs together. I have watched other TH-cam's do them separately or out of order and the had trouble understanding what was going on in satisfied
I would love if you could react to Natasha Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 and Hadestown, both amazing musicals, the first is an adaptation of a fragment of War and Peace and the second is a reimagining of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice set in the great depression with Hades as a factory owner
I have never been as attracted to someone as I was watching YOU watch Satisfied. Feeling all of the emotions this song brings forth, and so eloquently speaking them. Kudos! Unquestionably in my top two of this show. No spoilers- but you have not yet gotten to my favorite.
I would do the same as Angelica for my sister, it’s just something that you do when you love your sibling
It didn’t take two weeks to get a letter, in cities there was mail delivery more than once a day.
Two weeks was the length of time between when they met and when he came to propose, so much faster than modern courtship.
Love your reactions, so glad you’re loving it! Can’t wait for you to finish, AHHHH!!!
YEES
His dissapointment at the "Ladies"-
When he said he was worried, *yeah you should be*
Satisfied is definitely my favourite song. It's super interesting watching the choreography for it and Helpless beside each other. if you get a chance, you should look up one of the versus videos.
watching you react is the best part of these videos
Love this reaction! Helps less and Satisfied are two of my favorite songs in the play!
For the next video few videos I recommend doing two songs per video
1st video: The Story of Tonight (Reprise) and Wait For It
2nd video: Stay Alive/Ten Dual Commandments
3rd video: Meet Me Inside/That Would Be Enough
All these songs flow into each other and I think this is the best way to smoothly break them up without watching them all grouped together!
I love the choreography in Satisfied! I think the use of retrograde and playing with tempo off of the Helpless choreography is brilliant
I wish I could have recorded my face while watching Hamilton for the first time, last week 😅 omg I'm so obsessed with these songs... (but the first time I cried watching Satisfied was now, with your reaction video)
You should do “story of tonight (reprise)”with “wait for it” and “stay alive”, “ten duel commandments” and “Meet me inside” together. (Just a suggestion)
Perfect! I’m making a note of this so I know for the next couple!
Man, you have no idea how tickled I am to watch your reaction to each song and how one blends right into the other! It's June and you did this a month ago but I'm having fun with this NOW and I can't help writing my reactions even though you're more than well aware of how this musical plays out by now! Just havin' a good time with each of these videos and so glad to be watching your reaction to each song!
Best 'Satisfied' reaction ever! Thank you for appreciating Angelica's internal turmoil so deeply!
10:29
That look over the shoulder at "Angelica tried to take a bite'o me." like "you did wat?"
After you’ve watched Satisfied, it gives a whole new meaning to the lines from Helpless “laughing at my sister cause she wants to form a harem - I’m just saying if you really loved me you would share him”
Also, "Angelica tries to take a bite of me"
seeing your face the entirety of the start of satisfied just anticipating was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while, oh BOY
Don't sell yourself short! You would have been just my type back in the day when I was doing the radio thing in the 80s and 90s. Plus, I never stopped being a gamer girl. I loved your take on Hamilton. Now, how to not tell my husband that I have a crush!
Haha this just made my day, thank you so much! I'm YoBGS on pretty much everything so you know where to find me!
Satisfied actually rocks my universe. She is incredible
Loved you reactions today. Amazing how you got so many things from the contrasting emotions in Helpless-Satisfied. You even anticipated Angelica's feelings... Cool.
Another great reaction! I was jumping on my seat every time you talked about possible drama with the sisters, you weren't far off! Satisfied is mind blowingly good, that rewind sequence had me screaming the first time I saw it. I just need to send some love to Philippa Soo because she sings Helpless SO BEAUTIFULLY, it's my fave songs to listen by itself when I'm not jamming to the whole Musical album.
Also, you wondering what is going to went down in the rest if act 1 and act 2... I'm just going to say you definetly should buckle up 🤭
As for the next songs, "The story of tonight (reprise)" and "Wait for it" should really go together. Can't wait for the next Hamilton day!
Lol it’s historical canon that Alexander Hamilton was a stone cold fox, I mean just look at his 10 dollar bill portrait 🤤 so there was really no other way for LMM to accurately write it 🤭
Thank you YoBGS, you gave the reaction I was expecting as you began "Satisfied."
Not suckers for revolutionaries, just Hamilton.
My man I am asking you in your own free time to search on youtube "helpless/satisfied side by side comparison" to really see how the choreography is the same but in reverse it is WILD.
Also while her number is SO challenging, the cast say Renee never made a mistake, while everyone else (understandably) made some occasionally.
"I never wanna see anyone cry" you are in for a ride 😏
i'm actually doing a unit in school about Hamilton rn in english until the end of the school year
I am now looking forward to your reactions to Hamilton every week! Please keep enjoying Hamilton! Maybe as we get towards the end, it could be a live stream?
Totally! If I can watch it on Twitch I will, I’m just a little paranoid about Disney DMCA ovviously
That would be awesome. Even if you can’t show the video, you could give out time stamps? It would just be great for you and us have your reactions as everything comes together. ☺️
Nice can't wait till next time
"I'm not saying I have a favorite sister, but I have a favorite sister"
Here for it buddy! New fan of your reactions 🎉😂❤
Someone please ask Daveed Diggs what he whispered into Jasmine Cephas-Jones' ear at the end of Satisfied. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT CAUSED THAT FACIAL EXPRESSION.
I love Hamilton so much and I watch all reaction videos. Had to stop this one in the middle 🫤🫤😑
"Satisfied" is a very ironic title for the song, considering the whole song is her regretting passing Alex to Eliza.
I’m so ready for this
The focus on Alex's eyes brings up an interesting question. In the modern day, we have stuff like facetune that hides any perceived flaws. When camera's were still new, that was not an option, but how do we truly know that the portraits we see of people before cameras are accurate? Alexander's portrait by John Trumbull shows a very handsome young man, but we don't know how honest the portraits are of their subject.
I’m sorry I couldn’t focus for the rest of the video- DID U SAY 6’8”!?!
Yeah, something like that haha. I played basketball through college and stuff so eventually I stopped keeping track
Eliza and Alexander love life
7:02 Eliza u ok? What that face 😂
Satisfied is a master class in how to win a Tony award in 5 minutes!
I love how John Laurens is always drunk on stage.
Later, once you get to act 2, you should listen to Take a Break and Say No To This together because they weave into each other
Satisfied!!!my favorite ❤️❤️❤️❤️oh about the first song if the second act!!!!!!sooo goood😅😅
you don't pause on Satisfied. Like, just dont
At least Angelica lived to make it to Act 2... Poor Peggy...
“When does she breath” she doesn’t
Imma just leave this here: th-cam.com/video/wD2LdRGyhwY/w-d-xo.html
It's a side-by-side video of Winter's Ball/ Helpless and Satisfied so you can clearly see how well they synced the choreography. Truly amazing staging!!
“When is this all going to go horribly wrong? Cause you know it’s coming!” Ohh, just you wait, just you wait! Not giving you any spoilers, tho.
You should react to congratulations!! It’s Angelica and Hamilton and it was a song Lin decided not to put in the final product.
“You got a six pack and you’re really jacked” needs to be a line in the next Lin Manuel Miranda musical
If it makes you feel better the real Angelica Schuyler was already married by the time she met Alexander Hamilton.
First time hearing about Hamilton and these songs too, but, I CAN'T UNHEAR VIVO, also voiced by Lin Manuel, maybe you might also want to react to OSTs from Vivo
I love that you talked yourself out of thinking that Angelica had a thing for Alexander, despite the fact that they wrote each other letters after she got married and he flirted with her through punctuation.
YOU'VE BEEN TO WEDDING RECEPTIONS WHERE THE MAID OF HONOR DID *_WHAT?!_* Was she already drunk?!
Straight people baffle me...
Ok, when I sing the rap part in this song, or in any song for that matter, I take a small breath if there is a big enough gap between lines. Like “It’s a dream, and it’s a bit of a dance *small breath in* A bit of a posture it’s a bit of a stance *small breath in*”. That’s how I do it, but idk about how they do it onstage. They might have a different way.
"When you sit down to make a video, there are a lot of things you expect." That was your first mistake. NEVER watch this show expecting anything.
You should react to the next two songs "story of tonight reprise" and "wait for it" next
Angelica doesn't go hard on Alexander until Act Two.
After watching all the song in the movie,you should watch the ones the removed
Watch story of tonight reprise and wait for it!
Stay alive/10 duel commandments/meet me inside need to be watched together!
Haha, the way you call every song "That's a reprise of [something]" is iconic because you are probably just not used to Miranda's style of having references literally in every song to other songs (in lyrics and musical motives). There are only a few songs that are actually called Reprises, and the rest is just playing with you having this little musical quotations and lyrics repetitions. Just you wait for the two final songs, you won't even believe how many references there are. I am a huge Hamilton fan and re-listened to it hundreds times and I am still not sure I know every reference because they are countless. Just saying, LMM is a musical genius
I keep meaning to say reference and then I say reprise but you're super right! I've never seen in a musical where stuff goes back and forth like this within the songs but I love the references!
back when this happened women were not that high in authority (like hamilton or burr) and i don’t think they were even allowed to have duels
The most shocking thing about this video was to find out that youre 6'8
When does she breathe? 😂😂😂 Great reaction
we won't see any more of Peggy, but both Angelica and Eliza stick around till the end of the show.
The next songs u don't really need to react to in pairs but u can if that safes time (or video's) just letting u know that after "Dear Theodisia" there is a part u need to watch thats not an official song "Laurens interlude"
Which leads right into NonStop
Okay, here's the thing with the lyrics "my father has no son's so I'm the one who has to social climb for one" Phillip Schuyler actually did have sons, but Lin Manuel Miranda cut those sons out so it could be just the three. Also there were more Schuyler sisters than just three too. ALSO! Angelica was married at the time Alexander and Eliza met. But Lin had to push that back for the conflict of the two sisters.
You dont necessarily need to group the story of tonight reprise and wait for together. But the story of tonight is short and does lead into wait for it so....?
little does he know satisfied is not the fastest rap in the musical
I wish every say was hamilton day 😪
When is this all gonna go horribly wrong?
Just you wait.
Hi!
Hey hey!
The only thing more painful than seeing Angelica sacrifice her happiness to marry rich and let her sister marry a man she is clearly in love with is a line from the cut song "Congratulations". "I languished in a loveless marriage, lived only to read your letters."
If I remember correctly…the actress who plays Angelica was sick during this performance.
Honestly burr is the best singer. He just has the most emotion in The World was Wide Enough.
