I’ve heard it explained by Lin that the show is something like Burr’s purgatory, his own personal hell. It’s why he always narrates the songs, because he’s doomed to repeat his mistakes forever but everyone else doesn’t realize.
That is hauntingly beautiful...
Hahaha
Pain
The orphanage gets me every time
same
The orphans breaks me.
Same
I hear that Eliza's orphanage is still open
Yeah that’s the one that gets me
I like that Maria hands Hamilton the pen to write the Reynolds Pamphlet....🖋
Mind 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
That makes sense. Thanks
“Can Lin-Manuel just write my entire life?” Everyday I wake up and think the same thing
I want that too.
2:28 Just to let you know that it was documented but it was instead Angelica who wrote "My Dearest, Alexander" and Hamilton wrote her back calling her out on it to, which was hilarious.
One of my favorite moments from the musical that I never hear anyone talking about is from the scene in Act 1 where Hamilton meets George Washington. Washington asks him if he's met Aaron Burr, and the two of them say in unison, "We keep meeting." Look, there's soooo much great wordplay in this musical, but the fact that "meeting" was slang in that time period for having a duel makes this line gold, and it gives me chills every time I hear it!
YES.
I just noticed that the microphones at the Cabinet rap battle are delivered in a dueling pistol case.
Jasmin Cephas Jones and her father BOTH just won Emmys.
Phillip's heartbeat slowing down and stopping and Eliza's bloodcurdling scream makes me ugly cry
"Can Lin-Manuel just write my entire life?"
If you could stop showing an accurate representation of myself I'd appreciate it a lot
From what I heard Hamilton and Angelica were flirty with each other but most people think that was it. She actually was married and wasnt there when Satisfied happened(in the ball I mean). She also eloped so that makes me think that she loved her husband and just found Hamilton attractive or something but that nothing serious happen. This doesn’t have anything to do with Angelica but people have speculated that Hamilton and John Laurens may have had something because of their letters.
Angelica was actually married and living in England when Hamilton met Eliza. They had a very close relationship though
Yeah. Lin changed the timeline to show the dynamic of what women had to go through during that time and had Angelica make a choice of giving up what she wanted for what she needed to do. Like what many women back then did. Marry for status and future security over love.
I registered to vote a few months ago, at the age of 42, just because I was so moved by this show and the passion of the cast and crew. Lin and his father Luis and this musical have honestly changed my life forever. I'm reading Ron Chernow's book on Hamilton, and it portrays Hamilton's life even crazier than the show! Everyone should consider what they are doing with their lives, because we are not promised tomorrow.
George did two terms probably cause he was getting tired then every president just did that till FDR did 4 and then it became law just to do 2.
Yeah.
He didn't want to die while still in office which would give the impression that the office of president is a lifetime appointment. And, yes, he was also DONE with it. LOL
"he aims his pistole to the sky...waiiiitttee"
ad: "we want to feel life again"
i shit you not, that really happend right now
Omg. Its not only Maria looking at that her husband is on the freaking stairs too! Bro I- IM A HAMILTON NERD it’s official
You have officially joined the same club😂😂😂
From my research, the letter with “My Dearest,...” did actually happen however it was written by Angelica to Hamilton not the other way around as it’s presented in the show.
HE AIMS HIS PISTOL AT THE SKY WAAAIT
*ad starts playing*
me: okay that's not what he meant let me keep watching my video
I loved your reactions, you're sooo funny and you make some great points that I never thought of, thanks! and by the way, to answer your question, the "comma after dearest" is an actual thing! Lin found it so interesting that it kind of shows that their relationship was very flirty even if they were exchanging letters that talked about politics and stuff. Lin calls it "the comma sexting" lol. it took him at least a whole week to figure out how to put it in the song and still make it understandable in first hearing. but in his words "it was too good of a challenge not to take".
Thank you so much!! And that is amazing to hear about Lin’s process with that line!
I absolutely love when he says that the orphanage breaks him, especially since you can see how he clearly felt like crying and seems down right after this scene, YET HE DOESNT CRY. This, ladies and gentleman, is the self control I want in my life.
The scream when Philip dies hurts my feelings every time
Supposedly at the end, when Lin Manuel walks behind Eliza, he starts out as Alexander and then emerges from behind her as Lin Manuel. Eliza was asking “who tells your story?”, and as Lin Manuel emerges from behind her as himself, he leads her to the front of the stage where she looks out at the audience and then cries, seeing that their stories ARE being told. :)
I’ve never seen someone look so much like Conan O’Brien.
thought that too, lol
He and Robert Pattinson are my spirit animals.
Christopher Jackson is my favourite actor in this. His tone is just so amazing. It gets me every time.
if you haven’t done it yet, u should totally react to ‘congratulations’ and ‘first burn’!
the second act is superior change my mind
i agree, i like both tho but act 2 is better imo
I disagree but I'm will not try to change your mind.
I disagree but at the same time I’m like... but it’s soooo good
I’M HELPLESS TO MAKING A CHOICE
I love the room where it happens
I loved both reactions💕 and yes, the orphanage always gets me :')
♥️♥️♥️
George only served 2 terms. He set the precedent but wasn’t official until after FDR
Me a day late: WHAT DID I MISS?????
I have JUST finished the 2nd act of hamilton and I was so excited to watch this
I went to the international thespian festival one year and learned the Room Where It Happens choreography. 10/10 very fun
I need to watch more Broadway musicals, but the tickets are so f***ing expensive 😦
the musical helped me pass so many history tests
Washington only served two terms- from 1789-1797(Constitution was created and signed in 1787, but it wasn't truly ratified until 1788). Washington was pretty much relaxing at home after the War ended(officially with the Treaty of Paris in 1783, two years after the Battle of Yorktown) and was pretty much begged by James Madison to come back during the Continental Congress that created the Constitution and then was pulled into it even more when everyone wanted him to be President, with no one else even running against him. He reluctantly agreed.
It was so smart of Washington not to serve a third term, despite the pressure to continue on due to the tension between Britain and France, because if he had served another term, it would have been a disaster. Washington died on December 14, 1799, less than two years after he left office(and what would've been halfway through his third term). Who knows how America would have reacted in that case...But he was the one who set the unofficial law of President's serving two terms only which was honored until FDR who served four terms before he died during the last, leading to the 22 Amendment's passage in 1951, limiting a president's total terms to only 2.
PS. Anyone who's interested about what happened to America from 1783(Treaty of Paris passage) and 1789(Washington's first term) should look up information on the 'Articles of Confederation' which was pretty much America's first attempt at self-government and pretty much a failure- they were so scared of creating a tyrannical government that they went and made an INCREDIBLY WEAK federal government with States running pretty much everything. Everyone wasn't an 'American' they were a 'Virginian' or a 'Georgian' and had no truly federal protection against other nations. It was this weak federal government and the dangers they faced from foreign powers that led to James Madison calling together the Continental Congress to 'revise the Articles of Confederation'(with Hamilton being one of his main supporters among those delegates), but when the delegates arrived he was pretty much like 'ha, actually I propose we just get rid of the whole thing' which a lot of delegates were not happy about...
That's also why it took almost a year to ratify the Constitution(signed September 17, 1787, but truly ratified by the ninth state(majority needed) on June 21, 1788). The people of the States sent the delegates there to revise the Articles of Confederation, but instead they came out and introduced an entirely new form of government with a stronger Federal government at the center which made many citizen's furious. New York especially was furious, leading to Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay creating and publishing(anonymously) the Federalist Papers to convince them.
This also explains Hamilton's shock in this Musical at James Madison working against him with Jefferson as the two worked together during the Continental Congress to create the Constitution and then again during the Federalist Papers(slight aside: in Jay's defense, he wrote four before falling victim to rheumatism(but wrote the fifth one(No. 64) even after that) and in Madison's defense he wrote 22 of his 29 papers from January 12 to February 22, 1788(a total of 42 days so he wrote an essay EVERY TWO DAYS, like HOLY COW of course he became sick afterwards!), the others written before or after that, but usually grouped together. Hamilton's were written starting from October 27, 1787(No. 1) to August 13, 1788(No. 85)). But Hamilton wanted to give the federal government more power, Madison just wanted to create a proper balance between State and Federal governments which led to them coming to a head after the government was created as Hamilton's Financial Plan would give the Federal government even more control and power, which Madison saw as a tip in the balance between federal and state power in the favor of federal.
James Madison was originally against writing a 'Bill of Rights' as he saw it as a limitation of the rights people had('writing down some could lead to others arguing that those were the only rights the people had' kind of thing), but was talked into it as many feared that not writing them down would leave the people vulnerable to the federal government attacking or taking away those rights or overstepping their bounds and becoming tyrannical. He soon came around to the idea and actually created and proposed 19 original amendments, but the delegates later cut those down to 12, and then the states cut them down to 10. (SORRY FOR THE LONG PS, I TEND TO RAMBLE WHEN IT COMES TO HISTORY!!!)
You should react to the In The Heights movie when it comes out
With the two terms, I think most of the time it was just agreed upon as "tradition", since Washington did it, but it never became a full-on law until after FDR in the 1940's. Franklin Roosevelt did *four* terms, and while he was a good thing for the country, leading us out of the Great Depression and WWII, the rest of the government went, "Yeah, but what if we had someone terrible? We should probably nip this in the bud," and put in the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution to set two terms in stone.
At first, I was really disappointed that LMM really went soft on Aaron Burr and made him into a more sympathetic figure than he was in real life. (I had read the same biography LMM did, plus other things after that...and god damn, Burr was a slimy piece of garbage.) But then I got to thinking about it, and I realized he probably did it because if he'd made the character true to the real man, people would have accused him of making an unrealistic bad guy, so I do get it.
As they say, fact can be stranger than fiction, and the real Aaron Burr had exactly *one* redeeming quality, in that he was a fierce feminist and believed in the equality of women. Other than that, he was a power hungry, money grubbing, sleazy conman who managed to slime his way out of every legal comeuppance he ever deserved. He stole money from a fund that was meant to upgrade NYC's water system to stop people from dying from outbreaks of Yellow Fever and used it to build a bank to compete with Hamilton's Bank of New York. He made deals with foreign powers to set up lands in Florida and Louisiana so he could have his own little "kingdom" to rule, but managed to evade a treason conviction. He married a rich widow after Theodosia died, and then stole her money to make bad real estate deals.
In the end, while he was never convicted of any of his crimes, Karma is *still* a bitch and got him in the end. The rich widow filed for divorce, despite how difficult it was for a woman to divorce her husband back then. And she WON. The juiciest, most karmic bit of it was the identity of the lawyer who she hired and who secured that divorce, leaving Burr with nothing: Hamilton's second son, Alexander Hamilton, Jr. I can't tell you how long and how hard I cackled when I read that. Burr ended up dying broke and alone in a boarding house years later. Good. F*** 'im.
I heard that the spit was also due to the power of his singing, and his breath pushing.
The og cast of Hamilton sung One Last Time for Obama when it was his time to leave his presidency
2:42 I agree
I feel like Say no to this took inspiration from Dirty Diana by Michael Jackson
I din´t know that Scott Weiland was still alive and had a reaction channel. JK, great video.
Ngl I kinda see it
The thing with the two terms, before it was Tradition, not law. George Washington SET the tradition, by only serving two terms, but it wasn't until Franklin D. Roosevelt there was a three term president, which led to the 22nd amendment to the constitution, restricting all presidents to two terms.
Four terms, actually. It was insane. Thankfully we lucked out and he was a good president. Can you imagine if it was a terrible president the country had been stuck with for 16 years?
U really just skipped It's Quite Uptown didn't you-😳
Did you watch the Wandavision trailer?
I have not seen it yet but I will definitely be watching that show!
lmao right now 3:45
☺️
Sad fact: Phillipa’s dad died on the opening night of Hamilton. So those she cries at the end, those are real tears. That’s why Lin went over to ask her if she was okay.
So George Washington served two terms. Most presidents after followed his lead so it was an unofficial tradition. But then FDR ran, won, and served 4 terms. After that congress decided to put a cap on how many terms a president can serve.
It was rather obvious you showed no love for Daveed Diggs’ performance from either act. Personally, I enjoyed his work quite a bit and appreciate the difficulty in the vastly different characters he played between the 2 acts.

If you're interested by the real history and the actual genius
You can check out "historian reacts" on the channel Social Stud
It's great, he explains it
George Washington only served two terms.
I keep thinking that your knowledge, or lack of, is appalling. But then I remember that so was mine until I married a history buff.
Alexander Hamilton and Anjelica never had a romance. That was added for the show.
George Washington served two terms, and then stepped down-which is arguably one of the greatest moments of history. George Washington is one of the top five greatest men who ever lived and I will fight for that.
Aaron Burr in the show is sympathetic and my favorite character, but in reality he was a traitor to the country. And I'm not even talking about shooting Hamilton. He was a weasel, and so was Jefferson. But.... God I love him in this.
Welllll....yes and no. They were attracted to each other, and the "comma after dearest" letter DID exist, as well as Angelica's asking Eliza to share Hamilton with her. What didn't happen is the same thing that didn't happen in the musical. They didn't sleep together.
One thing I love in the musical when it comes to Jefferson was the subtle way they let the audience know that Jefferson was a liar. In The Room Where It Happened, they keep saying "Thomas CLAIMS". They make it clear that Jefferson wasn't saying what really happened, just making a claim. It's a nice little reference to the fact that the real Thomas Jefferson had a knack for lying in all his writings in order to make everyone around him look bad and basically make himself the hero of everyone's story. I will always believe he was the ringleader in the attempt to erase Alexander Hamilton from history. All hail Eliza Hamilton for fighting to preserve Alexander's memory.
