I will admit I found myself smirking and laughing a little every time you'd ask about "who wrote this music" and also about how great the person playing Hamilton is. All while not realizing the guy who is playing Hamilton is the guy who wrote the show. Lin Manuel Miranda is a musical mastermind and one heck of a performer.
Right⁉️❣️
My thoughts exactly
He wrote this after picking up a book to read on the beach! Dudes a genius. You should watch In the heights. He also wrote the musical parts for Moana. During the massive lockdown John Krazinski did a fake feel good news channel and all of the original cast members sang a song for a little girl on zoom because she couldn’t see it in theatres because she was meant to see it but they closed down production. I love this musical so much and as a Brit king George is effing extra ... I’m guessing having a person literally hired to wipe your ass and yrs of (how can I put this delicately) keeping everything in the family can make you very delusional as to your actual importance to the world.
THANK YOU
@@lucysmith6530 omg that zoom was amazing!!
Philip dies after after 19 songs in Act 2, which is how old he lived to be. The entire musical has 47 songs which is how old Hamilton lived to be.
I don't think Phillip died after 19 songs in Act 2, I've been googling but I can't find anything-
Ive been down so many Rabbit Holes and never heard this before. Thats fascinating
oh wow, i actually didn’t know that
Philip dies 19 songs after he was born - there are 19 songs from Dear Theodosia to Stay Alive Reprise - if you include Laurens Interlude.
Some extra info: Alexander and Eliza actually had 8 kids in total. Phillip was their first son. Their first daughter “Angelica” became severely mentally ill after her brother died and needed 24 hour care and never moved out. At the time of Alexander’s death Eliza had just had another child who was 6 months old, a son who they named “Phillip” after their first son. Eliza was left alone with 7 children one who was mentally ill that she took care of and refused to lock away. She lived for 50 years and never married again. She outlived her both her sisters, her husband and two of her children.
‘Best of women’
Eliza truly was the best of wives and best of women. We would've never known Hamilton's full story without her.
She also outlived her daughter Angelica, which she hoped not to.
@@kennedyhuff no Angelica died 3 years after her mother but she did outlive Phillip and one of her other sons.
@@lexithefangirl11 My bad, I misread what you wrote hard.
It's the fact that Philippa Soo (Eliza) literally just said *three* words in It's Quite Uptown and yet had the power to bring everyone to tears with them: "It's quiet uptown"
Breaks me every time
I thought she said ‘it’s quiet uptown’ not forgiveness lol.
@@kyemoreno oh crap you're right lmao, i thought of the ensemble's words right after. Lemme just edit it💀
55 things that i love about Hamilton
1. Lin-Manuel Miranda
2. The songs
3. The Actors
4. The choreo
Hamilton wrote the other 51
This is just too good😭
This was hilarious 😂
This is genius 😭
Lin is great in this, obviously, but man am I blown away every single time I watch it just how unfairly talented Leslie Odom (Burr) is. He's just incredible.
Leslie and Renee are incredible.
It’s so hard to act subtly on stage and still have it reach the back row, but he can do it. And his voice makes me swoon.
The cast was casted as perfection. One of my personal favourites is Daveed Diggs just because he’s just one chaotic bouncing boi during « Guns and Ships » and « The Reynolds Pamphlet »
Chris Jackson in One More Time just kills it as well.
Idk because I don't follow all the info but I think he casted Burr and Angelica as the strongest most diverse singers on purpose. I love that. That he knew they were better for their part and didn't cast the best for the Hamilton and Eliza. Not that they're not GREAT but Burr and Angelica... wow.
Thank you so much for your appreciation of Lin Manuel Miranda as Hamilton. So many reviewers slammed him for not being as good as the rest of the cast. IMO, Hamilton needs to be that unrefined character because of his early life. He wasn’t accepted in society, lived through horrible turmoil, and lost everyone he loved early in life. His emotions are real and I think his performance is brilliant!
His take on Hamilton was so refreshing compared to other reactors
Absolutely. LMM's voice is actually perfect for Hamilton, an unrefined voice more used to rapping than singing among the gorgeously trained voices of the others, because Alexander Hamilton was a poor orphan who dragged himself up through the ranks through his intelligence while the other people around him were basically aristocracy from birth and had a lifetime of education and refinement, while Alexander didn't really get a full-on formal education until he went to King's College. So yeah, I think the voice is perfect and couldn't imagine a more classically trained singer playing his part. It would just feel weird.
I totally agree, I think he’s amazing!
I never heard anyone say he was a bad actor compared to others but nonetheless I agree. He’s the same person who wrote the music and did wonderful acting as Hamilton
@@NeptuneHamster i thought they were moreso criticising his voice which is fair hes not as good a singer as some of the others in the cast
Also amazing that King George is played by the same guy who plays Kristoff in the Frozen movies 🙂
Jonathan Groff has been a super-famous Broadway star since he starred in Spring Awakening with Lea Michele in the early 2000s. (By the way, he also was on a season or two of Glee as the star of their rival team and Rachel's (Lea's character's) love interest.)
And the voice of Sven too! 😁
And Agent Smith in The Matrix Resurrection.
@callmecatalyst Love him in Mindhunter! Wishing they’d do a third season so bad
And Lin-Manuel wrote the (amazing) music for Moana.
BTW, Not only did Lin Manuel Miranda write the book, raps and music, the play won so many awards and also won the Pulitzer Prize. He hit all the buttons on this one. Plus he had an awesome musical director that works with him. You know who else did poetry through performance? Shakespeare!
Ron Chernow wrote the book. It is an excellent read, btw.
I love the video of the first time he performed "Alexander Hamilton" at an Obama administration function, and told the crowd he was working on something about Hamilton and how he represents the true spirit of hip hop... and the crowd laughed. And then when the play blew up years later, he and the cast returned, and Obama made a note of that moment and pointed out that Lin certainly got the last laugh there by creating an absolute cultural phenomenon.
@@theshadowfax239 Lin won the Pulitzer for Drama.
Lin did not write the book
@@mtrudo Yes. Lin got the idea for the musical from reading the Ron Chernow's Hamilton biography while on vacation. (It's a great read! I totally recommend it!)
But Lin did win a Pulitzer for Drama for Hamilton.
"Who wrote this??"
-- Welcome my friend to the GENIUS that is Lin-Manuel Miranda (also the guy playing the title role.)
- it's interesting that you mention liking his voice; as far as singing goes, Lin is widely considered to be the LEAST strong vocally, out of the cast; though I would say his energy and emotion more than compensate.
- Also, yes Alexander did what he did for love of his country and his family; BUT, he was also driven by a need to prove himself. What you were saying about needing to take the time to focus on your loved ones--- that is a lesson Alexander was slow to learn.
Well, it's not like he had loved ones for quite a while.
He is "writing like he needs it to survive" because that's exactly what happened. After the hurricane in his hometown, his writing is what got other's people attention, and what caused him to be fundraised to go to America.
I wish i could see your face, when you heard this all was written and composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda, same guy that plays Hamilton. I swear, this man is a genius
You mentioned you were impressed with the acting. I grew up near New York City, and I’ve seen many Broadway shows. There’s nothing like it anywhere, whether it’s a serious play, or a musical. The talent is incredible, and the energy is over the top. Everyone should get to experience it at some point in their lives. A film like this is just a small taste of it. And this show is the best of the best. Thanks for sharing this!
i went to see it at the end of Jan and you’re right, the filmed version of this doesn’t even compare to the live one! I want to see it again i might go for my bday lol
@@lilso8411 wow this really makes me want to see a Broadway show omg
Lin-Manuel also the wrote the songs for Moana, Encanto and In The Heights...which was even better than Hamilton
Finally some Lin-Manuel Miranda appreciation! The emotions he brings out playing the character of Hamilton is just so amazing. Specially in It's Quiet Uptown where you can hear him choking up and his voice breaking. THAT'S how someone sounds like when they're trying to hold back tears, he nailed it
When you said you couldn’t believe this almost made you cry I chuckled. Someone with your level of empathy and compassion doesn’t stand a chance against Quiet Uptown.
Also Burr went down in history as a villain because he was a traitor, not just because of killing Hamilton. I do give the play props though for trying to redeem him, but in reality there’s a bunch of stories about him in bars and taverns bragging about killing him. Kinda a dick
Burr tried to set up an independent country in the South with him as President.
On the other hand, he was also solidly against slavery.
Also quite the feminist too I believe.
Burr was acquitted of the treason charge, just fyi.
@@TheAlmaward On a technicality, just like he got away with murder which he was clearly guilty of.
Lin literally wrote it all over the course of 6 years.
7 years.
-Never thought I’d cry over a musical-
-Never thought I’d cry over a filmed version of a musical-
Never thought I’d cry over a youtube reaction to a filmed version of a musical
Hello, theatre lighting guy here! Loved your reaction. This musical is so groundbreaking for our industry. Lin wrote such a beautiful piece of art, and it reaches way down deep and pulls me by the heartstrings every time I see it! I love seeing folks like you get into something that I hold very dear to my heart. Theatre keeps me going every day of my life, and I'm glad you got a small glimpse of that! Not only is what's happening on stage thrilling, but the amount of work going on behind the scenes is incredible. On Broadway, there are 8 shows a week. The lighting department takes care of 708 lights for the show, and there are 856 lighting cues during the show, and there are 3 spotlight operators. Every actor is wearing a microphone, and usually on Broadway or similar caliber, that microphone is only unmuted while the person is actively speaking or singing. There are 10 musicians that play live every night. And all of this chaos that happens during the show is being managed by one person, the production stage manager. A couple hundred hand props are taken care of daily. Hamilton averages 13 daily loads of laundry for 32 cast members. It takes an entire village of people to put this on 8 times a week, and to make sure that all the 32 actors have to do, is show up and perform. That chaos is my life and I love every minute of it!
And like some others, I'd highly recommend watching other musicals that have been filmed live. Newsies, Rent, 42nd Street, Come From Away, Shrek the Musical, Memphis, Kinky Boots, Spongebob, there are plenty more I could recommend!
Hey, this might seem random, but I'm interested in getting into stage lighting, and was wondering if you have any advice. I currently work part time as an electrician in a theatre, and have some experience with EOS light boards (as well as working with a 4-scene preset Strand Mantrix 2S when I was in high school), but I don't really know how to get more into the industry.
It's refreshing to hear someone watch this for the first time and be like "The guy who plays Hamilton has a great voice"
Along with complimenting his acting.
that's literally the exact opposite of what most people have been saying about Lin Manuel Miranda's voice/acting for a long time
Brother, I’m a 51 year old man who has seen this live twice and numerous times on Disney+; I cry every time I watch this.
I really enjoyed your reaction.
The person who worked on the script is Lin Manuel Miranda who plays Alexander Hamilton in the production. He also worked on writing all the songs and music for the production.
My favorite part of Hamilton is how the themes and characters change over time. Throughout the musical you hear Burr saying "wait for it" and Hamilton saying that he "will not throw away his shot". Yet in the end, Hamilton throws his shot away, and Burr does not wait long enough to notice before shooting. Really shows how much the characters have changed
I've watched each of these performances at least 6 or 7 times now, and I still end up sobbing. What an emotional roller coaster!
And can we talk about the sheer brilliance of the stage craft here? Each time you watch it you will see something new. Take the actress who is known as "The Bullet" because she carries the bullet each time it hits one of the characters. Or the way the ballroom scene "rewinds" LIVE as Angelica launches into "Satisfied." Or the way the cast and scenery portray an actual Caribbean hurricane. Just brilliant.
I keep noticing every single time Burr does a "finger gun" and points it at The Bullet. Just - woah.
This guy is just like I was the first time I watched this on Disney +. I couldn’t believe how amazing this was. The second time I watched it, I followed along with the lyrics I googled and just kept saying “OMG. This is even more amazing than I thought!!” It’s pure poetry. Plus I started googling some of the characters and battles and read up on the revolutionary war. This is awe inspiring. THANK YOU Lin Manuel Miranda for setting this in motion!!!
I know this video is older, but throughout the musical Hamilton says “I’m not throwing away my shot”; however, Hamilton does in the end because he threw away his shot in the duel with Burr. The symbolism in the musical is insane.
Not only that - but you can argue that Burr lost everything because he didn’t “Wait for It”
(He shit on ten - but exactly on ten. If he waited to see what Hamilton was going to do with his shot things would have gone differently. Burr even says “wait” as he’s pulling the trigger.)
As a Theater and English major from 1975, and having done theater, I would like to welcome you to the wonderful world of theater. Please go see more.
And now you understand why theater kids and adults exist it’s just so special to watch even smaller productions like local or college theater performances can be amazing
Fun fact: Hamilton also toured around Australian a few years ago. My friend was a swing for Hamilton and he played Hamilton for a bit in NYC for a bit and then joined the Australian tour. It was so cool
"This is the purest form of acting right here. No cuts, no transitions, pure acting."
a lot of musicals are like that and it honestly amazes me too how they body and slay their performances while doing high notes, acting, and doing insane choreography at the same time.
I love Hamilton so much. Its the perfect way to get the new generation interested in history. Just a few notes here.
1. Lin-Manuel Miranda (The actor who played Hamilton in this show) also wrote all the lyrics and music himself (Which some help from Alex Lacamoire who helped with composition and did the orchestrations)
2. There are some of the things in the songs that Lin added for dramatic effect and isn't 100% historically accurate (Like Angelica saying she's the firstborn child and that her father has no sons, she actually had 3 older brothers)
I don't feel that this takes away from the musical at all, its just something to remember.
So fun watching along with you! It took 6 YEARS for Lin to write Hamilton! He is a musical & lyrical genius! The double use of words like “union” & “satisfied” as in marriage & country were amazing! The turntable floors were fabulous in getting across the motif of time... passing, pausing, spinning, rewinding, running out.... The thread that gives me chills is that Eliza wrote herself into the narrative when marrying Hamilton, wrote herself out of the narrative after his affair, but in the end she WROTE the narrative of his life! Wow! Fun Fact: Jefferson wouldn’t have been able to make the Louisiana Purchase without the financial system Hamilton set up! Lin has introduced Broadway to a whole new generation (youngers) and rap to a whole new generation (olders)!!!
Lin also wrote 'in the heights' and helped with moana, and encanto
He also wrote 21 chump street and wrote some of the songs in bring it on the musical . He also directed tick tick boom .
Not sure if anyone's told you yet, there's a chorus member who is called The Bullet. Anytime she touches a main character, they die. Rewatch and see if you can spot it all (she's got the puffy top knot). She helps Laurens take down a british soldier, then they shake hands and after he dies. She touches Phillip's chest when he's looking for George Eaker, then Phillip dies. She's the bullet that whizzes over Hamilton's head. She's literally the bullet in the end battle.
And another Hamil-fan is born! Welcome! Enjoyed your excitement about this Hamilton production. Lin is the greatest. And he knows how to surround himself with very talented people--onstage and behind the scenes. You will probably find yourself listening to the soundtrack and singing along... the first stage of Ham-love. And then there are a few books, the official website, actors' twitter accounts, and youtube Hamiliton reactions... So here we are. May you one day be able to go to a live performance of Hamilton. An experience to treasure for a lifetime.
I just saw Hamilton on stage in NY last week. I cried so over come. I have watched the Disney film so many times, and it didn't make a difference. I still cried. I encourage everyone to see this live.
Aussie: I never thought a live performance could almost make me into tears-
Me (thinking of It's Quiet Uptown): JUST YOU WAIT!!
Every day I find a new Hamilton reaction is like christmas
Your reaction was my favorite Hamilton reaction ever, and I’ve watched A LOT lol your enthusiasm and passion for how good this is, is how we all feel, it’s amazing how talented Lin is. How talented they all are.
1 thing I heard Lin Manuel Miranda say in an interview about Hamilton was that for the rest of Burrs life after shooting Hamilton, he would introduce himself to people by saying: "Hello, my name is Arron Burr and I killed my best friend Alexander Hamilton." He apparently was a ghost of his former self after killing Hamilton.
one of your next reactions needs to be Encanto! the music is by Lin Manuel Miranda, who starred in and wrote Hamilton, and its such an incredible Disney movie!
when he was on the edge of tears during "that would be enough" i just couldn't help but think:
"you've got a big storm coming"
There's a hilarious anecdote Lin Manuel Miranda told an interviewer once about how the song "You'll Be Back" came about. At the time of working on writing that song, he was working on the set of the show "House M.D", starring the legend that is Hugh Laurie. They were talking about what he was working on and he expressed frustration about a "breakup song" he was writing for King George to the Americans, and Hugh turned on his poshest kingly voice and went, "Oh...you'll be back." And thus, the song was born.
I never got to see Hamilton live because the tickets were so sought after and so expensive, but I did once see a live performance of Les Miserables up in Sacramento, CA. It was such an amazing experience.
I love the subtle writing in this. Like in "The Room Where it Happens", instead of saying, "Thomas says", LMM writes, "Thomas claims" because Thomas Jefferson had a habit of retelling events to make everyone else look worse while making himself look better. That's basically why he's such a respected Founding Father by people in the present day, because most of what we know about things around Jefferson comes from Jefferson's own claims and only a deep dive into historical documents shows how much of a liar he was.
Alexander was kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place after he screwed up and cheated. If he'd lied or kept silent, his political enemies were planning on getting him on stealing money from the US Treasury to use it for a crime called "speculation". The result of that would have been him being thrown in prison and possibly executed, which would have left his family either destitute or permanently dependent on the charity of Eliza's family. So, he told the truth, which still resulted in his wife's broken heart and the first political sex scandal in US history, but those things were temporary. Painful, but temporary. He still was at fault for cheating in the first place, but honestly I think he made the best choice he could on how to deal with it.
Nah, Philip wasn't his only son, but it was his first born. He and Eliza had a lot of kids before he was killed.
An interesting bit of trivia about the duel. Now, this could be a total lie since it was said by the guy on Alexander's side of the duel, but honestly I see no point in them lying about it, so I tend to believe it. They said that Alexander told them that he was putting his glasses on so he could see Burr's face across the field to see if he was having second thoughts about the duel. Also, through forensic evidence found after the duel, it was shown that Alexander's bullet struck a tree *way* wide of the mark, and for a guy who had a reputation as a keen marksman, there is no way he could have fired the shot *that* wide without it either being on purpose, or as a result of a muscle spasm after Burr's bullet hit him. So, Alexander really did try not to kill Burr, and it was the death of him.
One guy, same guy wrote everything. The same guy who's playing Hamilton. Lin-Manuel Miranda is a f*$%ing GENIUS!!!! Apart from that, musical theater actors are in my opinion, some of the most talented people in the world. They sing, dance, act. They do it 8 times a week in front of live audiences. Not just these actors, all of them. I'm an avid musical theater fan, and there is nothing like a live theater performance!!! I'm glad Hamilton is making this apparent to people who have never been exposed to theater.
I urge urge you to watch more theatre, musicals etc on here. It's not the artform that some people think. Its one of the most creative mediums in the world, far more exciting than Hollywood movies. Hamilton has played around the globe, its run for years on Broadway and London.
I LOVE HAMILTON!!!!!!!!!!!! I had the privilege of seeing this live this past year and omfg !!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best experiences of my life!
Aaron Burr was Hamilton's best friend and was the VP of the United States when he shot and killed Hamilton in 1804.
You had such a beautiful, pure reaction. I appreciate your empathetic soul and your willingness to show that to the world. Thank you so much.
“One Last Time” gets me every time. You should check out the performances at the White House in 2016.
Yes, the one when they all laughed at the idea of Alexander Hamilton as someone who embodies the idea of Hip Hop. He did.
I hope Lin genuinely sees this. Praise for his acting 💕
Great reaction! Here's a fun fact for you: Alexander's and Eliza's second son, also named Alexander, was the lawyer who represented Aaron Burr's second wife in their divorce. It was finalized on the day of Burr's death. To his dying day, Burr couldn't escape the Hamiltons!
This is the kind of reaction us reaction fans look for. So glad you like it. Les Miserables is another iconic musical with some amazing performances you should check out.
I heard a rumor that Philippa got a call just before they recorded that her mother died. So her emotional acting was real because she used that real pain and grief to add to her performers. Not sure if it’s true but her scream when philip dies is legit heart wrenching .
Not this performance, but there is a bootleg on YT and that is the version you are thinking of. But the fact that this one and all the others besides that one was just her amazing acting.
it’s sooo funny to see him talking about Lin Manuel Miranda not knowing that HE IS THE CREATOR + WRITER of the musical hahahaha so much fun to watch! great reaction
Lin's emotion during Quiet Uptown made me cry. So powerful. But also how can one man be such a genius to write all the music he does and be such a humble, lovable cupcake. And he is only in his early 40s so we can still look forward to so much more from him.
Your reaction to Phillip's death and "It's Quiet Uptown" was so pure and genuine and sweet.
Ya know, it was Laurens death that (in the musical at least) solidified that he had to do everything. He had to be non-stop, or his hope for a legacy would die... Like how Laurens' father wrote that his dream died with him. Without it, I don't believe it would have driven him down this spiral
Right!?! I have to admit I really wonder how Hamilton's life (and the US in general) would have been different if John Laurens had lived. Coming from a very wealthy, prominent, and politically influential family from South Carolina (his father Henry served as President of the Continental Congress), John could have been the friend and confidant that Hamilton desperately needed - especially politically. Hamilton had his fair share of amazing mentors (Washington, Philip Schuyler, Robert Morris, etc.), but really needed more peers in his corner. Someone to check his impulses.
But I also wonder what sort of influence John may have had on US politics in general. I find it so interesting that the son of an owner of one of the largest slave trading houses in North American would become such an outspoken critic of Slavery.
And I can't help but wonder what kind of difference he could have made in early US politics.
The guy who played Vice President Aaron Burr deservedly won the Tony Award for best actor.
I will never, ever stop watching Hamilton reactions. There is something magical about watching someone discovering the genius.
I recommend Into the Woods Broadway version if you haven’t seen it. It has few fairy tales that’s into one story together
I just watched other reactors do it - it's not a popular one - and they had so much fun with it.
Good suggestion ☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
Yes, but definitely Broadway version… for pretty much any Sondheim. The movie versions miss so much of what makes those shows great. And I really hope they have a video recorded version of Hadestown waiting in the wings… with Andre deShields as Hermès. I think that show would be on permanent loop in my home if I had access to it.
@@thabimajija856 who were these reactors, I would love to go watch it
@@immyray4287 A channel called 'White Noise Reacts'. It was fun just watching them experience it like we all did.
th-cam.com/video/Tg7MlxCAy4U/w-d-xo.html
I've always said Broadway has the best actors, not to look down on Hollywood because there are lots of talented people too, but the rawness of live theater, specially musical theatre that conveys singing, acting and dancing at the same time... Is something else.
As an extreme fan of this show, to the point where I've had the honor of seeing it 4 times live (4 different casts including the original Broadway cast right before they won ALL the Tonys), I gotta say it's so great to see a reactor experience this show as their first taste of live theatre. This show it ELECTRIC live. I wept openly every single time. One of the greatest Broadway experiences in existence. Long may it reign.
Before this, Lin wrote a Broadway show called In The Heights, it was a hig hit and has recently been turned In to a big movie. You should check it out, it's superb
Yes!!! Please check out In The Heights
And the fact that Lin was only in his early 20s when he wrote In the Heights and late 20s/early 30s when he wrote Hamilton is so insane. He is so ridiculously talented.
Absolutely see a live show if and when you can. It truly is an experience and totally different from television and film.
These guys aren’t only super talented, but insanely hardworking. Not only did the actor for Hamilton write the whole thing, but they would do like 10 shows a week at this level of excellence.
Also, Adam Savage from Mythbusters has a bunch of really cool behind the scenes videos for this play on his channel. They go over the props, moving stage, sound engineering, etc.
I love how you’re just randomly like “WHO IS THE COMPOSER OF THIS MUSIC, IT IS SPECIAL!!!” lol 😂😂
Always great to see this great show create a new fan. Never gets old. I was 4 years late to it myself. Watched with family and friends and they selected the Movie not me. I ended up so emotional by the end I was speechless. Finally recently saw it live in LA last month. Thanks for posting this one ✌️.
I’ll never forget watching this for the first time. The way Eliza’s gasp resonated with me .. just immediately sobbed. I can tell it hit you as well. There’s nothing like it.
About taxing whiskey in the south, look up the "Whiskey Rebellion" 😊. Thanks for sharing your reaction and your heart with us. Don't apologize for your emotion, we appreciate your heart.
When you get into it and watch other videos on Hamilton you'll find out how intricate this is. The 1st person to get killed the woman man she's a soldier, She becomes what they call the bullet. She signifies every attempt on someone's life or proceeding death she traces the line of the bullet once when Hamilton was writing and it was a near miss another time when hamilton's son died hamilton's sun dies and she traces and slows the bullet when Hamilton dies. There are so many little things and big things it's amazing the more you go into it even how the music is written. Is Howard Ho Is a music theorist theorist I'm not sure if that's a ride word. But he describes how the music moves itself along the writing and the tone and how and how intricate it really is. There will be college courses taught on how to write music based on how they did it. Thanks it was a great review and this is my favorite play. Windman will Miranda also Wrote moana, His 1st play was in the heights which is amazing it was made into a movie which was great but came out at a bad time you know pandemic.
im so glad you got to experience this wonderful musical, also that you’ve found a way to make everything work out in your personal life. taking wknds off sounds great for you and your family. enjoy the time now because before you know it, ur kids wb graduating high school and then getting married and you’ll wonder where the heck time went. good luck, take care and we’ll be right here with you every step of the way. 🙏🏼✊🏽❤️🎥
If you're blown away by the acting without cuts or transitions watching this on video, just imagine being there in person, where they can see you, hear you, and sometimes react to the audience reactions. Live theatre is MAGIC. And they do it over again EVERY NIGHT.
Elizabeth Hamilton lived a long, long time, and its through her effortsd that we remember her husband so well when others have faded from memory. To give it perspective, when she was born, we were still part of England, and when she died Abraham Lincoln was president.
Hamilton gives me goosebumps every single time I listen to any of the songs, and the acting is just amazing! I would love to someday after all of this to go and see it live.
Cant believe you reacted to this, so glad you did this is amazing.
Cant wait till see your reaction to satisfied and seeing it all rewound.
Nice! I didn't expect this but I'm definitely along for the ride
Edit: I'm so happy they got Lin-Manuel (the guy who plays Hamilton) to write the music for Moana
And for encanto!!! :)
@The Dan i remembered him from The Electric Company reboot. very talented indeed.
Also, because he did the demos while he was working on Hamilton, Chris Jackson (GW) and Philippa Soo (Eliza) can be heard in the movie as well as he. He sings the English voice in "We Know the Way", Chris is the father's singing voice, and Philippa is a villager (I think with a line in a song). The video of Lin finding out his voice would be used is awesome; it's on YT. :)
If you ever come to Broadway get a ticket to Hamilton - live is absolutely amazing, and the current cast is fabulous.
If you want to read more about Alexander Hamilton, I'd recommend the book that inspired Lin-Manuel Miranda to write Hamilton in the first place. "Alexander Hamilton" by Ron Chernow. I liked it. He also writes one on George Washington if you are interested in him as well.
My kids purchased tickets for us to see Hamilton on Broadway for Christmas gift. Yes, I cried. Never did I think I'd see Hamilton live, let alone in the room where it happened.
Burr wasn't a professor. Rather, Burr and Hamilton were frenemies going back to post-independence New York, where they both represented the defendant in the nascent country's first murder trial (as depicted in Non-Stop). The show takes a few other dramatic liberties. Like Philip Schuyler, in fact, had sons and Angelica was already taken by the time Alexander met Eliza. But there are also things in the show that show Miranda's work. Alexander and Eliza are wearing black when going to be at Philip's side because that's the same year Peggy died. He calls Eliza "best of wives and best of women," which is actually taken from the note he left her when he headed for the duel.
Lin Manuel Miranda worked on this for six years after he did the first song at the White House for President Obama.
They recorded this movie over 3 performances. 2 live with with audience and once without the audience so they could get the closeups they needed and not interfere with the show.
Lin is a real talent. Singer, dancer, actor and he wrote the whole musical.
The fact guns and ships is not only the fastest rap in Broadway history but it’s done in a French accent is mind blowing
The greatest thing about Hamilton its how a Liric has so many layers to Hip Hop to theather and to history and be social coment at the same time.
See how the diferents schools of rap blend (west and a east) how Lin evoque dr Dre, Tupac etc and the same time Sodenheim and Larsson and yet keep historic center its genius
There's honestly nothing like live theater. This is one of the best, but it's nearly always amazing.
it is fantastic to see you be able to appreciate theater for the first time in your life...I grew up seeing many plays and musicals, from high school productions to professional shows, so it's amazing to see someone who has never done so be able to experience the joys of theater
I think one of the best things about hamilton being recorded and available to watch at any time is the ability for so many to see a theatrical performance when they otherwise might not be able to for one reason or another
Here’s a fun fact! Ariana DeBose, the chorus member playing the bullet, also plays Anita in the new West Side Story movie!
19:10 “i never thought a love performance could almost make me into tears”
just you wait lmao
What a magnificent introduction to musical theater! I'm so glad your first experience was with such a masterpiece!
I listened to the soundtrack obsessively for about a year before I saw the film on Disney. First time I got to the sad bit in the middle (don't want to spoil it for anyone reading comments early) I had to stop myself sobbing in the office xD I was crying watching your reaction!
Some interesting tidbits that most people probably don't pick up on unless they continue reading about the characters; the song that Burr and Hamilton sing together, Dear Theodosia, has some double meanings. Both Hamilton and Burr were devoted fathers; Burr insisted on giving his daughter a full education, as any boy would have received and Hamilton spent a lot of time with his children despite all his work, and they probably were hoping for their children to grow into strong characters who would "blow us all away". However, they also both lost their first born children as they were effectively "blown away". Theodosia was killed when her boat disappeared in a storm - on her way to go visit her father - so she was "blown away" and Phillip, as you could see, was shot.
Hamilton's younger son grew up to be a lawyer and actually acted as divorce lawyer for Burr's second wife when she left him. Burr died the same day the divorce was finalized.
The guy that plays hamiltion is called lin-Manuel miranda he wrote the songs for moana and the songs in most of the songs from recent Disney movies and a lot of the musicals, he is very talented and is amazing at what he does
Why has nobody talked about when Lin-Manuel is sobbing during Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down)??
After Lafayette says "Freedom for America, Freedom for France!"
Lin-Manuel says "Gotta start a new nation, gotta meet my son!" That is GREAT acting!!
Thank you so much for appreciating our craft as actors! I’m so glad you got to enjoy this piece! You can also see amazing pieces of theatre at your closest regional theatres!
Lin Manuel Miranda also just wrote In The Heights which was made into a movie last year and just directed the movie Tic Tick Boom on Netflix. It's about the life of another creative Broadway musical writer Jonathan Larson who wrote Rent. He died before the opening night of it. It won the Tony Award. I'm lucky because I get to usher at a theater that the traveling Broadway shows perform at so I get to see them and will see Hamilton several times this month. Many actors perform limited dates at the theater but they don't get paid much and do at least 8 shows a week. I know one is Hugh Jackman. He was doing Music Man on Broadway until they had to close last week for covid. Enjoy your trip into musicals. For funny I recommend The Book of Mormon and for current and touching Dear Even Hansen.
Hamilton was the best thing I watched in 2021.
If you like the live musical recordings, there is one of the musical Rent that is pretty great. The woman who plays Angelica is also in it. Rent is a rock opera written by Jonathan Larson if you’re interested
Hamilton is showing in Sydney and soon in Melbourne with an Australian cast, so you COULD technically see it if you want! :)
I live in Spain
@@ReelOzAussieDillon Dang haha
I went to see this in Washington DC with absolutely no information about the show. I hadn't heard any music, didn't really know the story. By the third song I was absolutely blown away when I realized that they hadn't stopped singing once. I've seen a lot of theater, and that is not normal even for musicals. This is one of those works of art that just makes you sit in awe of how creative human beings can be.
42:10 actually, they had i think 7 children at the time. In a musical you have to cut a out a lot of things cause there is no way to make time to aaaall of it. And to all of what its said to be relevant to the show. Anyway its quite sad, their second child and eldest daughter (they named her Angelica after of course Eliza's sister) really LOVED her brother Philip and when he was killed she suffered a mental breakdown that let her in a stated described as "eternal childhood" and often unable to recognize family members.
Lin is like, the only person that can write a rlly good musical, play the main character, and get away with it
Into the Woods (stage version) is available on TH-cam to watch and its amazing. Also I love Legally blonde the musical much more than the film and that is also posted on TH-cam. Both amazing watched and inhave most if the songs from them and Hamilton on my playlists and listen all the time.
