One of my favorite lyrical choices in this song is the use of "helpless". The layer added to the word considering it was first introduced by Eliza when she was helplessly in love with Alexander, and then it's later tainted by Maria Reynolds in the second act during Hamilton's affair.
In the workshop version before the "I wish I could say it was the last time.." bit you had Eliza and Angelica out of scene with their "helpless" and "satisfied" motifs
Jasmine Cephas Jones played both Peggy Schuyler and Maria Reynolds. Same with Daveed Diggs played both Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson. Okieriete Onaodowan played Hercules Mulligan and James Madison. Anthony Ramos played both John Laurens and Philip Hamilton.
This is one of my favorite hidden gems! In regards to the opening of the show: Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson and Hercules/James Madison: “WE FOUGHT WITH HIM” (Lafayette and mulligan fight with him in the war, Jefferson and Madison FOUGHT with him politically.) John Laurens/Phillip Hamilton: “ME, I DIED FOR HIM.” (😢) Peggy Schuyler/Maria Reynolds: ME, I LOVED HIM. (Peggy, as a brother-in-law- “Peggy confides in me”, and Maria as a lover.)
It's always great watching someone react to Hamilton who doesn't know much about the history. When I first watched the musical I was already prepared for the most impactful story beats because I knew the history- but it's much more fun watching someone who doesn't know.
Apparently whenever they had the teenagers from school see Hamilton they all yelled out no during this part! Same reaction I had lol. Can't WAIT for your reaction for room where it happens Jacob!!
Same! I was in the car the first time I listened to this show and when I got here I was so invested and yelled “dude no!!! Come on!” Haha I was big mad at Alexander.
You hit pause right on her MONEY NOTE!!!!!! Other than that: The last line from Hamilton saying "Nobody needs to know" is a direct quote from The Last Five Years musical song Nobody Needs To Know, and an homage to its genius writer Jason Robert Brown who's an inspiration to Lin-Manuel Miranda. The song is about the male lead cheating on his wife and the orchestration is done with 2 celli and a violin. Therefor the last string motive could also be interpreted as a musical homage to that same song.
@@JacobRestituto Lin talks about his first meeting with the women who play the Schulyer sisters. I thought of it because of the way you reacted to Maria Reynolds R&B voice. The best part starts about 4:20 th-cam.com/video/r2_fph8vnWo/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TheKellyClarksonShow
I love the way you break down music. As someone who barely reads music, I very much appreciate and admire it. Jacob: "Yes, Alexander, Say No To This!" The rest of us: oh yeah we hoped too 😅
Hahahahaha!!! I love these Hamilton reactions!! Also, Maria Reynolds was forced to do this by her husband:( The whole show: The ensemble: No! No! No! Alexander: Yes! 😂
Enjoying watching tour reaction videos, one for your genuine interest in the story as well as the music but second as you explain the difference of the sounds/tones in the both ears. I'm deaf in one ear so it's interesting what I'm missing. Thank you 😊
@@JacobRestituto totally and then latter in the song we know we find out that Hamilton paid $1000 in that times standards which now would be $30,756.28
Oh my god you actually killed my spirit with that pause in the middle of “staaaaaay” 😬😂
I know and then he just continued like it was nothing.. 😂
Best note in the show. Adorable dog cameo, though.
Worst part was, that I could see he was cutting at the end of every 4 bar phrase, so I knew he was going to do it long before it happened. 🤪🥲
@@mikel2002 Music nerd solidarity, I also noticed this and started bracing early, lol
The pause on Jasmine’s power note had me 🤦♀️
my bad....
@@JacobRestituto u do it all the time lol
Same!!!!!
The role is played by the same actress who played Peggy Schulyer (Jasmine Cephas Jones)
Cut me off , Peggy and Maria are tje same voice
And Peggy!

Funnily enough after he mentions Macbeth is when everything goes to crap lol

glad youre enjoying it!
One of my favourite things about watching the play is literally everyone standing around yelling NO at Alexander :'D
30$ in 1780 are in today’s $ 570.19 as of right now ✌️🥰
interesting!
Then and now, still a lot of money to give a stranger.
@@Lafemmefutile I mean he was getting blackmailed by James, soooo
@@kaixavier2 but that was before the inital blackmail. 🤔😵
Always been curious about that, but never got around to checking, so thank you kindly
this is the same actress who play peggy in act 1
oh ok!

Also, fun fact, the final line of this song is an homage to the musical The Last 5 Years, where that exact line is sung as cheating occurs.
The orchestration is the same as L5Y in that moment as well. The first time I ever heard that I lost my damn MIIIIND! LOL
@@son_of_ottie sameeeee !!!!!!!!!!!
Love when your dog says Hi! The pup wants to react to Hamilton, too. "No, Alexander! Bad dog! She is NOT your wife!"

Thank you 😊
actually a tip could be to listen to music in Mono instead of stereo! it would put all of the sounds in the center and you wouldn't miss anything!!
FUN FACT: in the original cut version of this song, Angelica and Eliza were going to sing "Satisfied" and "Helpless" in the middle of the song
I’m sorry I just got so triggered when you paused Jasmines stay.
my bad
Eliza:Take a break~
alexander:No
also alexander
Maria:Stay~
Alexander:How could i say
no no to this~
me:💀
(btw im using my mom phone)

It's actually 1791 not 1780, 1780 is when the songs 'Winter's Ball', 'Helpless', 'Satisfied', and 'The Story of Tonight Reprise' take place.
Oh cool
0:05, 3:05 oop
1:10 Schuyler Sisters ref.
4:11 😬
5:12 oo racing thoughts
7:07 Helpless, Eliza's first solo
Ha, it's a very different room where it happens than the room in this song.
lol
you should also react to the Hamilton Cast at the White House back from 2016 I think :)
cool thanks!
Yes anytime Lin + President Obama link up is magical! Pres O was even on the Hamilton Mixtapes 😍
The arpeggio is a harp but it is modified to have an echo
oh cool
he should have taken a break
agreed
He did... w/ Maria. lol
Have it all, lose it all, you ready for more yet?
You should listen to the full cast recording of Hamilton muppets 🙄
Its brilliant 😂
Muppet Angelica is my favorite!!! 🐔
@@theshadowfax239 John Laurens' is my favorite.
In total it was way more, I think it was like $25000 in today's money. I watched it on a History documental.
interesting!!
Nope 900
30dollars back than is about 900dollads now. 😬
Thirty bucks then would be around 700-800 bucks now
$831 in todays money (from 1791)
really? I feel like it'd be way more
Cute pup.
Thank you
The three dislikes are Alexander, Eliza, and Angelica
likely!@
$30.00 in 1789 converts to a bit under $900.00 today.
This wasn't in 1789
@@airqx2808 It was around 1789. I'm just going by the timeline, as the 2nd act starts in 1789.
@@brentos96 I think it was 1791
She was Peggy in the first act.
the pausing 🥴
😉
I was interested how much $30 is worth compared to now it's like $570 now
interesting!
30 bucks back then according to the internet would be 610 dollars today.
😮
I think the yes part would make more sense if you watched it.
oh ok!
Are you going to react to the Disney+ version eventually?
the video? yes, send me a text to get notified when and where I post
I just looked it up $30 in 1780 is worth $570 today
nice
$30 back then is equivalent now to about $630
