Hi everyone, thanks for watching! We decided to put Georgia's musical knowledge to the test, Check out here to find out what happened when we did! th-cam.com/video/LZnegciANb0/w-d-xo.html
@callmecatalyst honestly i kind of wish i had my reaction to the first time i saw The Rains of Castemere on film, jesus i didn't watched the show for a little bit after because i had to recover. Such gut wrenching but also incredible television. Also thank you for your kind words, it means a lot (i'm the girl in the video if you didn't catch that already XD)
Funny, your top 3 favs Daveed (Jefferson & Lafayette), Renée (Angelica), and Leslie (Burr) all won Tony's for their performances. Much deserved, this cast is so talented.
*totally done with Hamilton i’m over it totally over it...* *sees this video* “This doesnt count its not the same technically I’m not watching it, they are” 🤣🤦🏼♀️
😊 I enjoyed your reaction and I'm glad you liked the show. I hear you about Eliza forgiving Alexander. In real life, there were a few years between the Reynolds pamphlet and Philip's duel, so she had to forgive him twice. Also, I feel like she felt as though he was the only one who could understand the loss she felt for her son. It must be a very lonely thing to lose a child.
There is a really interesting video by cinema therapy (th-cam.com/video/J3qsPHIHSKw/w-d-xo.html) about losing a child, forgiveness, etc. It's definitely worth looking into imo :)
Hamilton was an...extremely different man when Eliza forgave him. There's a story about how he went into a store and asked for change for a dollar(?), and the shopkeep refused. Another patron asked why he declined; turns out Hamilton had made that request every single day. The shopkeep worried that the ritual was one of the few things stopping Hamilton from dying of grief. I'd link the story, but the musical is monopolizing all the search results.
lots of people are saying that her gasp at the end is because lin told her story and here's why. when she is saying her last few lines, lin (who is alexander at the moment) is on one side of her. when he crosses behind her and heads to the other side, he is then out of character and he takes her hand and leads her to the front of the stage. he shows her the audience and she is now seeing that her story has been told, along with hamiltons. i sort of agree because it really makes sense. if lin was still hamilton at the time, she would have probably hugged and kissed him or something. but she didn't, being that she was just meeting this person.
Lin manuel miranda has confirmed officially that he is never out of character. I've always found it more likely that Hamilton is showing Eliza that the story is being told.
Yeah I mean it is a fine interpretation but think logistically, what happens when somebody else plays Alexander, not Lin. They didn’t write the musical and so it doesn’t make sense
The first time I heard that theory it was Phillipa Soo herself explaining it. So yeah, I think she would know. She takes this "unknown" person's hand so hesitantly, like "Is this proper?"
@@audreyplaysnice2086 She's a performer, not the author, and when the author has said otherwise it's safe to assume that's the 'correct' interpretation in as much as there is one
I LOVE watching new people watch Hamilton 🥰 I loved your reactions most on King George, My Shot, Helpless, and Wait for it. You bobbed a bit on Guns and Ships too 😂 now I will watch the 2nd half. LOL great reaction!!
My own take: Eliza in the end sequence is "in the moment" of Alexander's death and beyond--for a few minutes, during that lovely summary of her life, she touches on infinity. But the scream is the moment she drops back into her own time, and learns of Alexander's death, just as she witnessed Philip's: two matching screams as she absorbs the loss of two beloved men in her life. The more I watch this, the more I realized that it's Eliza's story. She's "the" Hamilton of the title. I was already mostly convinced--then I watched her take the first bow, that in theater is reserved for the lead. You put that together with the point of the entire summation and you realize that Alexander's story is merely prelude to what Eliza accomplished for him. You have to know his story to recognize the depth and importance of hers. She used that extra fifty years not only to rescue Alexander's life for history, but with him she brought the entire era: she and Angelica, two minds at work, shaped both the historical record and the nation. If it matters who lives, who dies, and who tells the story, then Eliza is remarkable. ..amazing. So: Who lives who dies, who tells the story? Alexander dies. In dying, he passes the future to Eliza, who uses her long life to claim the record for Alexander, and for Washington, and for all the men she interviewed, and she gave Alexander to history in her words, as well as preserving his, and she shaped the culture of the nation, and saved children and was, let's admit it, just awesome. But she never "knew" it that way. So the play, having let her touch Alexander's fingers, having summed up her life from history's point of view, sets HER back at the moment history became hers, not her husband's: the moment she learned of his death. The moment of her scream. In the end, it's Lin-Miranda, looking at Alexander's life, and marveling that having hurt his wife so badly, at she herself remaining so silent and reticent about herself, Alexander was still lucky enough that she *loved* him that way--loved him so deeply she could not let history forget him. She loved him enough to become the narrator of his narrative. It must be nice, it must be nice, to have Eliza Hamilton on your side.
I've only watched about 3.5 minutes of this but I love how she is just giddy excited the whole time and he has the same expression through the whole thing lol!! I relate to this. I would be the giddy excited one and other people are frequently like: -.- LOL (You don't look as bored as that face though haha)
Your flat mate is gorgeous and the fact she is a massive musical lover is a huge bonus!! This is such a great musical its great seeing others enjoying it for the first time.
Oh nooooooo! I love Hamilton and have shown it to a couple of my friends, but even I refrained from singing along and lip synching. It would've seriously annoyed them. I hope you enjoyed it either way, and so cool that your flatmate knows these complicated lyrics too. It's a strange kind of pride you feel when you've learnt your first Hamilton song off by heart. Keep up the great content. :)
Another interpretation of Eliza's scream that I thought: she dies and goes to heaven and finally sees Hamilton and her son and all the people she dedicated her life to memorializing and is fulfilled. (I LOVED the interpretation that it is her seeing the audience... her success!)
But isn’t that the thing about forgiveness? The person that commits an intentional offense doesn’t ‘deserve’ forgiveness. It’s the choice we have as the person that has been wronged to provide something positive to someone who has chosen to do something negative to us.
For the Brits: Most Americans (prior to the success of this musical) are familiar with George Washington as a general and our first President, but very little of the rest of this story. A fair number of people know who Hamilton is and that he was shot in a duel, but for most he's just the guy on the $10 bill. Most of the others have even less recognition. Thanks public schools!
Sorry. Not me. Remember distinctly our 11th grade class and we learned about jefferson vs Hamilton a nd remember sidng with Hamilton and thinking jeffersons vision was very backwards and not trying too develop the country. Remember the national bank, a strong federal government.... And see learned a bit about the duel and the why.
SO funny because one of my least favorite songs in the whole thing is, "What did I miss?" LOL! I think it's the arrogance that comes across in that song. And I was quite invested in the efforts of everyone in the war up to that point. But it's cool that it is your favorite song!! It showed me that everyone is different and truly likes different things!
@@GeorgiaAwkward On the outside she sure is, shame that on the inside she is totally devoid of any moral compass and she treats those who have been loyal to her like something she stepped in
big fan of hamilton, I admit when showing something I am a fan of to someone who hasn't ever seen it, I would be all about "did you catch that?" "Did you understand what just happened" "pay attention! this is important later". (yet strangely would get really annoyed when someone was doing it to me "please stop interpreting this for me please?"). This is all to say, I would have sent her out of the room.
The reverse on Burr and Hamilton is that Burr thing was to always "wait for it" to not act in the heat of the moment. Meanwhile Alexander thing was to "not throwing away his shot" but once it came down to it Burr is the one not waiting for and not throwing away his shot, meanwhile Alexander does throw away his shot and aims his pistol in the air and accepts his fate. I read something that in duel if they did this it represented that they respected the other person. Also Alexander Hamilton dies at song 47, which was the age he died at in real life. Same with Philip, the song number was 19 and he died at 19 years old.
Nice reaction :) I think Hamilton did deserve Eliza's forgiveness. What he did was terrible, but then he changed and started thinking about her and not only himself. It started even before his son's death - when he persuaded his son to shoot into the air, he said that "[Eliza] can't handle another heartbreak". If this was before, I'm completely sure he'd say something like "you killing a person would be bad for your father's career", as the old Hamilton didn't really care about anything else, not even Eliza. But here, he showed he started paying attention to her and her feelings. And it was genuine; he wasn't just pretending to win Eliza back, because she wasn't present at the moment and he couldn't have earned anything by it. And then of course, after his son's death, they showed us how big this change was - he lost interest in the politics, turned to his family, and apparently considered his death to be a suitable price for Philip's survival and Eliza's happiness. He has no one to blame for his downfall but himself, but it had led him to become a better man, a man worth forgiving.
Loved the video! The only thing was, I would turn the credits music down/off at the end... it made it harder to hear what you were saying, and I was really interested in your thoughts/reactions
Unfortunately, I found it difficult to hear you throughout the video. :( I still watched the whole thing though; your facial reactions spoke volumes. :)
As far as Hamilton's affair and Eliza's response to it? It's difficult (and perhaps unfair) to judge it through a lens of today's standards. Firstly, extramarital affairs were not uncommon in those days...it's just that you were supposed to be **quiet** about it. (Remember, Burr stole his wife from a British officer. And Thomas Jefferson had a life long...I don't know what to call it!!!...with his slave, Sally Hemmings.) Honestly, with the type of personality Hamilton had, I wouldn't be surprised if this was his only affair. It was just his most public one. And that is what made Hamilton's affair such a scandal: he publicly announced it - In. Great. Detail - to clear his name from the financial scandal that he was being accused of. (Some of his rivals from the day, as well as some historians, believe the gentleman doth protest too much?? Including Maria Reynolds. She refuted his whole pamphlet. That said, there is little evidence either way...) Also, if I remember the timeline correctly, Eliza was away for a long time at the time of the affair. I think she had been very sick. And had miscarried? (And, sadly, it wasn't uncommon for men in those days to look elsewhere when their wives were pregnant and/or sick...) So Eliza may have only been upset because the affair was public, or she may have been devastated on all levels. We'll never know cause she burned the letters! But they did eventually reconcile. As others have mentioned, Hamilton changed a lot during these years. His political career had suffered after the Adams Administration and the Reynolds Affair. And Phillip's death was so devastating for the whole family that one of the Hamilton daughters, named after her aunt Angelica, suffered from mental breakdown from which she never recovered. (She was described as having a mind in "eternal childhood.") I don't find it surprising that family tragedy brought the estranged couple back together.
i think this guy is really shy on showing his emotions, he is clearly enjoting the show, i guess is a mentality like "i wanna see how you enjoy it", but both have to go with the flow
Both Hamilton and Burr suffered from a lot of mental health issues in their lives. Hamilton probably would be diagnosed with pretty severe depression by today's standards. (Maybe even PTSD...or Bipolar??? I admit I'm not a psychiatrist.) He struggled with mental health through the war, through his political career, and especially after Phillip died. Some historians even wonder if Hamilton was toeing the line of suicidal here and there in his life, including leading up the the duel... As for the smear campaign Hamilton waged against Burr which led to the duel? I would argue that Burr deserved it. As the play explains, Burr switched political parties to run against Hamilton's father-in-law for the Senate. So he was already thought of as...dissembling? And then, sometime around the time Burr was US VP, he had a big political scandal in NYC. To try to sum it up (but someone please correct me if I'm wrong?)...Because of Hamilton's role in creating the banking system, Ham's party (the Federalist Party) had a lot of power with the banks in New York. Burr wanted to start his own banks (or banks that favored him and his friends more), but there were NY laws that made it difficult to start a rival bank for the Bank of NY (which Hamilton had his fingers in). So Burr started up a "fundraiser" for much-needed infrastructure work on the water/sanitation system in NYC. And Hamilton and all of the NY Federalists donated a lot of money to it because...well... the city really needed cleaner water. But somehow Burr was able to sneak in changes to the wording of the permits or whatever before they were approved by the state legislature so that it included permission for new banks. And then, if I remember correctly, Burr even used some of the $$ raised for the water system to start the rival banks. (Pretty crazy that he was able to get away with using public funds in this way!) Hamilton never forgave him for it. And that was one of the major reasons Hamilton argued that Burr couldn't be trusted for Gov of NY. And he argued against Burr...a lot. Everywhere. Very vocally. And **then** after Burr lost **that** election, they dueled. Interestingly, Burr was still VP at the time. Afterwards, he had to hide out (I think somewhere in the South??) until the public outcry died down. Still, his political career was essentially over. Burr's mental health deteriorated significantly after his duel with Hamilton, but even more so after his daughter Theodosia was lost at sea when she was only 30 years old. He was a pretty weird dude doing some pretty outrageous things by the time he died.
Out of curiosity, how much American history do you get in school? We get some English/UK history, though 😬 not much more after the American Revolution. 🤯 Until some years ago, I believed “the UK”, “England”, and “Great Britain” were interchangeable - we won’t even touch Ireland… so either I was a horrible student or our schools suck. 🥺 (based on the Brit Comedians I know, y’all know America/US much better.) 1. Also, your roommate’s cute! I liked how she knew all the lyrics. 2. I’m afraid to tell you, y’all have a ghost! Or a third roommate. Sorry flatmate. 3. I thought there was a third… sorry train of thought lost. 🖖🏼
I'm sure there must have been some, but I don't actually recall learning any American history in school. Also, you're not alone with mixing up "Great Britain" and "UK", many people even over here get that wrong. It wasn't a suprise to me that Georgia knew all the lyrics, she loves musicals and essentially treats life as one. I'm sure she'll appreciate your comment too, so thanks for that. There's more musical content from her over on her channel th-cam.com/users/GeorgiaPackerlol
Lighting is good, but honestly it wasn't the best lighting that season when it opened, American Psycho the Musical had some insane lighting. Its a shame that show got overlooked because it opened at the same time as Hamilton.
That girl is my least favorite kind of watching movies partner. Whenever I show someone else a musical for the first time i try to stay as quiet as possible so thw other person can enjoy all the music the same as i did my first time, otherwise it's just annoying
I get her excitement, but yeah--if I was experiencing a musical for the first time someone singing/dancing right next to me on the couch would be very distracting.
Fun fact, during the final song everyone is wearing white except for Burr, Hamilton, Eliza, and Angelica. This is because they are the answers to the 3 questions the song asks. Who lives? Aaron Burr Who dies? Alexander Hamilton Who tells your story? Eliza & Angelica
I mean tbh I wish your roommate wasnt singing along but that's because I like straight up reactions and just hate when people sing along to things in any circumstance haha. Especially if they are watching something for the first time. I just find it distracting myself and this video it seemed very distracting. But if your roommate has a channel to watch musicals she hasn't seen I'd be down or if you'd like to watch more like Little Shop of Horrors would be a good one. To be fair this is a very addictive musical haha.
Also to reiterate I love the passion I just hate when people sing along to things which is my issue haha. I would love to watch you guys react to other things for the first time :)
@@coreym0 don't worry too much, people singing along isn't everyones cup of tea and sorry if I was a bit annoying 😂 if James told me he wasn't okay with it I wouldn't but he was fine with it so I thought I'd give my raw reaction. And even though I've already seen Little Shop I would do a reaction, I'm wanting to do musical related videos on my channel soon. Thank you for not being too harsh though 😂
Your flatmate is pleasing to the eye. And as an American, I've always liked the English accent. She would have guys tripping over themselves if she ever found herself stateside
Hi everyone, thanks for watching! We decided to put Georgia's musical knowledge to the test, Check out here to find out what happened when we did! th-cam.com/video/LZnegciANb0/w-d-xo.html
Word of advice for you and your friend. When you introduce new people to Hamilton. You do it with subtitles lol.
When Eliza starts beatboxing, the stage direction in the score literally reads "Eliza beatboxes maternally." LOL
It just reminds me of 'I'll Krump with you honey!'
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I lose it everytime 😂
Me: I'm not gonna cry this time, I'm not gonna cry this time, I'm not gonna cry this time.....
"The Orphanaaaaaage..."
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Literally every freakin' time! 😭
Me....every damn time.
I cry that way on 🎵 Forgiveness 😢
the big genuine smiles at the end between eliza and hamilton breaks my heart
I cry on Eliza's last "it's quiet uptown"
Does it stay happy?
Yeah
“Wait I thought she’d seen this before”
*looks at camera*
“OH”
@callmecatalyst honestly i kind of wish i had my reaction to the first time i saw The Rains of Castemere on film, jesus i didn't watched the show for a little bit after because i had to recover. Such gut wrenching but also incredible television. Also thank you for your kind words, it means a lot (i'm the girl in the video if you didn't catch that already XD)
When Eliza starts beatboxing for Philip's rap and you immediately say "This is the best song" 😂
Funny, your top 3 favs Daveed (Jefferson & Lafayette), Renée (Angelica), and Leslie (Burr) all won Tony's for their performances. Much deserved, this cast is so talented.
They are all incredibly talented, the awards were 100% deserved.
Chris Jackson should have won, too.
*totally done with Hamilton i’m over it totally over it...*
*sees this video*
“This doesnt count its not the same technically I’m not watching it, they are” 🤣🤦🏼♀️
her saying every word along with them is such a mood
She is just the nerdiest of nerds. And I love it.
yeah like her talking over "I will kill your friends and family" by King George is such a mood-killer
I do the same
my dude really smiled through the whole thing like it was a comedy lmao
😊 I enjoyed your reaction and I'm glad you liked the show.
I hear you about Eliza forgiving Alexander. In real life, there were a few years between the Reynolds pamphlet and Philip's duel, so she had to forgive him twice. Also, I feel like she felt as though he was the only one who could understand the loss she felt for her son. It must be a very lonely thing to lose a child.
Also, like... what is she gonna do? It was almost impossible to get a divorce back then so it was either forgive him or make everyone miserable.
There is a really interesting video by cinema therapy (th-cam.com/video/J3qsPHIHSKw/w-d-xo.html) about losing a child, forgiveness, etc. It's definitely worth looking into imo :)
Satisfied is by far the best song. And yes, doing 8 shows a week is exhausting:-)
The most impressive thing about Satisfied is that they do the same dance moves as in Helpless. But it is both reversed and slowed down.
I am like one minute in and so relating to georgia acting out the whole thing by your side :D
Hamilton was an...extremely different man when Eliza forgave him. There's a story about how he went into a store and asked for change for a dollar(?), and the shopkeep refused. Another patron asked why he declined; turns out Hamilton had made that request every single day. The shopkeep worried that the ritual was one of the few things stopping Hamilton from dying of grief. I'd link the story, but the musical is monopolizing all the search results.
A dollar was worth almost 40 of todays dollars
Your roommate is such a mood. I just want to make her mimosas and watch Hamilton with her forever and ignore the dumpster fire that is my country
I’m joining y’all
lots of people are saying that her gasp at the end is because lin told her story and here's why. when she is saying her last few lines, lin (who is alexander at the moment) is on one side of her. when he crosses behind her and heads to the other side, he is then out of character and he takes her hand and leads her to the front of the stage. he shows her the audience and she is now seeing that her story has been told, along with hamiltons. i sort of agree because it really makes sense. if lin was still hamilton at the time, she would have probably hugged and kissed him or something. but she didn't, being that she was just meeting this person.

Tbh I hate that interpretation because it is SO wanky and up his own arse. He has said it's not right though
Yeah I mean it is a fine interpretation but think logistically, what happens when somebody else plays Alexander, not Lin. They didn’t write the musical and so it doesn’t make sense

Really, most people watching for the first time should turn the subtitles on. Thanks for sharing this!
24:04 "Does he deserve forgiveness?" Who does? That's the power of it. :')
I love how he had a big grin literally the entire musical :) :) :)
Absolute mvp of this video is passive aggressive bottom of housemate just trying to go about their evening.
Takes me back.
Your editing is damn good how you managed to fit the play into 25 minutes or so. The best I've seen of these reaction videos.
Thanks, much appreciated! 🙂
The commentary made you miss some good parts but sure
Georgia is channeling every Hamilton fan who found this reaction

Absolutely loved your flatmate singing along throughout.
a lot of people have theories for the gasp. i think she just forgot she left something in the oven right before she passed away🥺
😂
I totally LOVE her reactions! She can barely hold it in. I need her to watch the whole thing and do a sing a long!
When Georgia watches anything with music in, it's automatically a sing-along for her 😆
I can't help it, I love a musical 😂
I have yet to watch this without crying.....the emotion.
“This is a Disney movie”
It’s technically not because it’s a Broadway musical and they just gave it to Disney + but it’s not a Disney movie
Gave?....Rented it out for an enormous amount of money.... 😉
Oh nooooooo! I love Hamilton and have shown it to a couple of my friends, but even I refrained from singing along and lip synching. It would've seriously annoyed them. I hope you enjoyed it either way, and so cool that your flatmate knows these complicated lyrics too. It's a strange kind of pride you feel when you've learnt your first Hamilton song off by heart.

I didnt like it too but it grew on me
In the theater I believe they turn on the audience lights right before she screams, pretty sure it’s meant to be that she sees the audience
Gasps, not screams, but you are right. The lights come up over the audience, when she arrives at the front of the stage.
Your flat mate is beautiful! Love the passion for Hamilton!
Thank you, Hamilton is up there as one of my favourite musicals, I love it.
@@GeorgiaAwkward On the outside she sure is, shame that on the inside she is totally devoid of any moral compass and she treats those who have been loyal to her like something she stepped in
@@GeorgiaAwkward @Bryan Miles Not even on the outside to be fair, when you realize her smile isn't a friendly one but actually a conniving one
Great reaction guys!
I think Eliza screaming was more that she realized that her story was being told since she was singing about if anyone would tell her story
People say there are many opinions about this but this is the only one I ever see
10:50 fun fact about that dual:
After lee got shot he got back up and wanted to go again but his second talked him out of it
I enjoyed seeing you enjoying it Thank you
big fan of hamilton, I admit when showing something I am a fan of to someone who hasn't ever seen it, I would be all about "did you catch that?" "Did you understand what just happened" "pay attention! this is important later". (yet strangely would get really annoyed when someone was doing it to me "please stop interpreting this for me please?"). This is all to say, I would have sent her out of the room.
Nice vid! I think you did a really good job in cutting up your reaction to show the important parts
The reverse on Burr and Hamilton is that Burr thing was to always "wait for it" to not act in the heat of the moment. Meanwhile Alexander thing was to "not throwing away his shot" but once it came down to it Burr is the one not waiting for and not throwing away his shot, meanwhile Alexander does throw away his shot and aims his pistol in the air and accepts his fate. I read something that in duel if they did this it represented that they respected the other person. Also Alexander Hamilton dies at song 47, which was the age he died at in real life. Same with Philip, the song number was 19 and he died at 19 years old.

I think Hamilton did deserve Eliza's forgiveness. What he did was terrible, but then he changed and started thinking about her and not only himself.
It started even before his son's death - when he persuaded his son to shoot into the air, he said that "[Eliza] can't handle another heartbreak". If this was before, I'm completely sure he'd say something like "you killing a person would be bad for your father's career", as the old Hamilton didn't really care about anything else, not even Eliza. But here, he showed he started paying attention to her and her feelings. And it was genuine; he wasn't just pretending to win Eliza back, because she wasn't present at the moment and he couldn't have earned anything by it.
And then of course, after his son's death, they showed us how big this change was - he lost interest in the politics, turned to his family, and apparently considered his death to be a suitable price for Philip's survival and Eliza's happiness.
He has no one to blame for his downfall but himself, but it had led him to become a better man, a man worth forgiving.
Loved the video! The only thing was, I would turn the credits music down/off at the end... it made it harder to hear what you were saying, and I was really interested in your thoughts/reactions
Unfortunately, I found it difficult to hear you throughout the video. :( I still watched the whole thing though; your facial reactions spoke volumes. :)
No puedo creer que la chica que ya vió Hamilton sea la que más reacciona 😂
AWESOME reaction!!! Thank you both!!
LOL "3 Days Later" he is obsessed with the music like the rest of us!!!! xD
Great reaction! Thank you for sharing it!
Girl is whole mood
As far as Hamilton's affair and Eliza's response to it? It's difficult (and perhaps unfair) to judge it through a lens of today's standards.
Firstly, extramarital affairs were not uncommon in those days...it's just that you were supposed to be **quiet** about it. (Remember, Burr stole his wife from a British officer. And Thomas Jefferson had a life long...I don't know what to call it!!!...with his slave, Sally Hemmings.) Honestly, with the type of personality Hamilton had, I wouldn't be surprised if this was his only affair. It was just his most public one.
And that is what made Hamilton's affair such a scandal: he publicly announced it - In. Great. Detail - to clear his name from the financial scandal that he was being accused of. (Some of his rivals from the day, as well as some historians, believe the gentleman doth protest too much?? Including Maria Reynolds. She refuted his whole pamphlet. That said, there is little evidence either way...)
Also, if I remember the timeline correctly, Eliza was away for a long time at the time of the affair. I think she had been very sick. And had miscarried? (And, sadly, it wasn't uncommon for men in those days to look elsewhere when their wives were pregnant and/or sick...)
So Eliza may have only been upset because the affair was public, or she may have been devastated on all levels. We'll never know cause she burned the letters! But they did eventually reconcile. As others have mentioned, Hamilton changed a lot during these years. His political career had suffered after the Adams Administration and the Reynolds Affair. And Phillip's death was so devastating for the whole family that one of the Hamilton daughters, named after her aunt Angelica, suffered from mental breakdown from which she never recovered. (She was described as having a mind in "eternal childhood.") I don't find it surprising that family tragedy brought the estranged couple back together.
Your flatmate is just like me, I mouth the words as well. Annoying isn't it?
To be honest, if I was to rewatch it now that I know all the lyrics, I would totally be doing the same
@@Contrules : )
Very
at the end when she looks in the Audience she is breaking the 4th wall and she cries bc she sees that his stoy got told
He seems like he's smiling when Philip is dying...
I really love Hamilton, but honestly I'd be annoyed if someone was mouthing/singing during my first time watching. Glad he enjoyed it still.
I always think "this time I won't cry about the orphanage"... but it's a futile thought... I always cry about the orphanage.
watching the british lose a war in real time is the one true heartsong of 20th century americans
Love watching peoples reaction to Hamilton! I have to give props to your flatmate reactions.
Daveed is my fave, too!
Is Hamilton available on dvd now?
I don't think it's available on DVD now, it's available on the streaming service Disney +
I just read it will be available much later this year
i think this guy is really shy on showing his emotions, he is clearly enjoting the show, i guess is a mentality like "i wanna see how you enjoy it", but both have to go with the flow
24:04 well, that's the thing about forgiveness - nobody ever deserves it.
I wish our Congress was like the House of Commons. Would be more entertaining.
Somebody please get a bib for the king
*He's back-*
Both Hamilton and Burr suffered from a lot of mental health issues in their lives. Hamilton probably would be diagnosed with pretty severe depression by today's standards. (Maybe even PTSD...or Bipolar??? I admit I'm not a psychiatrist.) He struggled with mental health through the war, through his political career, and especially after Phillip died.
Some historians even wonder if Hamilton was toeing the line of suicidal here and there in his life, including leading up the the duel...
As for the smear campaign Hamilton waged against Burr which led to the duel? I would argue that Burr deserved it. As the play explains, Burr switched political parties to run against Hamilton's father-in-law for the Senate. So he was already thought of as...dissembling?
And then, sometime around the time Burr was US VP, he had a big political scandal in NYC.
To try to sum it up (but someone please correct me if I'm wrong?)...Because of Hamilton's role in creating the banking system, Ham's party (the Federalist Party) had a lot of power with the banks in New York. Burr wanted to start his own banks (or banks that favored him and his friends more), but there were NY laws that made it difficult to start a rival bank for the Bank of NY (which Hamilton had his fingers in).
So Burr started up a "fundraiser" for much-needed infrastructure work on the water/sanitation system in NYC. And Hamilton and all of the NY Federalists donated a lot of money to it because...well... the city really needed cleaner water. But somehow Burr was able to sneak in changes to the wording of the permits or whatever before they were approved by the state legislature so that it included permission for new banks. And then, if I remember correctly, Burr even used some of the $$ raised for the water system to start the rival banks. (Pretty crazy that he was able to get away with using public funds in this way!)
Hamilton never forgave him for it. And that was one of the major reasons Hamilton argued that Burr couldn't be trusted for Gov of NY. And he argued against Burr...a lot. Everywhere. Very vocally. And **then** after Burr lost **that** election, they dueled.
Interestingly, Burr was still VP at the time. Afterwards, he had to hide out (I think somewhere in the South??) until the public outcry died down. Still, his political career was essentially over.
Burr's mental health deteriorated significantly after his duel with Hamilton, but even more so after his daughter Theodosia was lost at sea when she was only 30 years old. He was a pretty weird dude doing some pretty outrageous things by the time he died.
I'm 100% like your flatmate 😂 except I'm making my kids at school watch it
the end lmao
you should of took him to see it in London
I am so like your flat mate my son gets so annoyed when we watch this lol
Haha, I wouldn't take her any other way, It's way more fun watching things with someone like that
I love your flatmate!
If only you had to live with her, that might change 😆
What is the opposite of an Anglophile? Georgia, apparently. :D
But for real, she can come hang
immediately after watching the show: "What was his wife's name again...?" were you actually taking anything in???
Out of curiosity, how much American history do you get in school? We get some English/UK history, though 😬 not much more after the American Revolution. 🤯 Until some years ago, I believed “the UK”, “England”, and “Great Britain” were interchangeable - we won’t even touch Ireland… so either I was a horrible student or our schools suck. 🥺 (based on the Brit Comedians I know, y’all know America/US much better.)
1. Also, your roommate’s cute! I liked how she knew all the lyrics.
2. I’m afraid to tell you, y’all have a ghost! Or a third roommate. Sorry flatmate.
3. I thought there was a third… sorry train of thought lost. 🖖🏼
I'm sure there must have been some, but I don't actually recall learning any American history in school. Also, you're not alone with mixing up "Great Britain" and "UK", many people even over here get that wrong.
It wasn't a suprise to me that Georgia knew all the lyrics, she loves musicals and essentially treats life as one. I'm sure she'll appreciate your comment too, so thanks for that. There's more musical content from her over on her channel th-cam.com/users/GeorgiaPackerlol
John Laurens: *dies*
Guy: :)
lmao i cant-
Phillip: dying
Guy: 🙂
Alexander: dying
Guy: 😀
Eliza: "The orphanage..."
Guy: 😯
❤❤❤
Lighting is good, but honestly it wasn't the best lighting that season when it opened, American Psycho the Musical had some insane lighting. Its a shame that show got overlooked because it opened at the same time as Hamilton.
Can you please react to the funniest comedy called The Heavenly Kid
From 1985
Please
That girl is my least favorite kind of watching movies partner. Whenever I show someone else a musical for the first time i try to stay as quiet as possible so thw other person can enjoy all the music the same as i did my first time, otherwise it's just annoying
I get her excitement, but yeah--if I was experiencing a musical for the first time someone singing/dancing right next to me on the couch would be very distracting.
Fun fact, during the final song everyone is wearing white except for Burr, Hamilton, Eliza, and Angelica. This is because they are the answers to the 3 questions the song asks.
Who lives? Aaron Burr
Who dies? Alexander Hamilton
Who tells your story? Eliza & Angelica
You didn't give "Satisfied" enough attention. Lol
^^
I mean tbh I wish your roommate wasnt singing along but that's because I like straight up reactions and just hate when people sing along to things in any circumstance haha. Especially if they are watching something for the first time. I just find it distracting myself and this video it seemed very distracting. But if your roommate has a channel to watch musicals she hasn't seen I'd be down or if you'd like to watch more like Little Shop of Horrors would be a good one. To be fair this is a very addictive musical haha.
Also to reiterate I love the passion I just hate when people sing along to things which is my issue haha. I would love to watch you guys react to other things for the first time :)
@@coreym0 don't worry too much, people singing along isn't everyones cup of tea and sorry if I was a bit annoying 😂 if James told me he wasn't okay with it I wouldn't but he was fine with it so I thought I'd give my raw reaction. And even though I've already seen Little Shop I would do a reaction, I'm wanting to do musical related videos on my channel soon. Thank you for not being too harsh though 😂
Philip didn’t make it to 10 and died at 7, ‘cause that’s the number he struggled with during Take A Break.
Your flatmate is pleasing to the eye. And as an American, I've always liked the English accent. She would have guys tripping over themselves if she ever found herself stateside
