Jefferson was actually an introvert. It’s one of the character clashes as Hamilton was very out going, blunt, and loud; and Jefferson was more reflective and deliberate. But Jefferson was treated like a rock star everywhere he went. His writings made him a star of the time. Daveed’s portrayal is more of what people thought of Jefferson was, rather than what Jefferson was.
I was in the room where it happened with the original cast. I was site in the aria that he blew the kiss I died. Holy shit 37 likes!!! How TF is this posible????
Fun fact: at modern day Monticello there is actually a room called the Laffyette bedroom, even the Jefferson's called it that because they would stay there so often.
one time i saw a bootleg of the election of 1800 and during the “OH’s” when hamilton said “jefferson has my vote” he legit started DABBING 😂😂🤍 he’s too iconic
Anybody else notice that once he loses the cane Daveed proceeds to walk with a limp for the whole rest of his time as Jefferson? He doesn't limp as Lafayette but he does as Jefferson. :)
@@sapphireshores6112 yes. Sally Hemings is the half-sister of Thomas Jefferson wife. Sally was given as a gift to her sister when she married Thomas and Thomas became enthralled with Sally and had 6 to 9 children with her
8:26 "you ever see somebody ruin their own life?.... *his poor wife* " the way that even aaron burr, Madison and Jefferson felt bad for eliza after the Reynolds pamphlet, even though she was their "enemy's" wife is heartbreaking they FELT for her 😭🥺 i find it to be oddly endearing and genuinely heartfelt, pity/sympathy for Eliza, specially considering neither of them ever interacted with Eliza, nor knew her personally, at least in the musical. The way they reread it and show disbelief, maybe I'm just digging too deep, but I think it's just their shame, since, even though Hamilton's downfall benefits them, they didn't have nothing against Eliza and sort of felt bad for her, now that she was going to find out about Maria Reynolds.
8:50 honestly this face crushes me apart, like all that waiting and work and when he thought he would win, the one he thought was his friend "betrayed"him, Leslie is such a good actor
The 6 dislikes: 1.Hamilton 2.Burr 3.Hamilton on an alt 4.Burr on an alt 5.That one guy in the background 6. King George, turns out he is still mad that he lost Edit: TYSM FOR ALL THE LIKES! The most i've ever gotten was 3! TY!!💕💕
One of them is also John Adams ... because even though Washington & Hamilton died before mostly all of them. Both he and Jefferson both had the same day ...which ironically We celebrate with Fireworks because it's the 4th of July. Adams still wanted it on the 2nd of July.... and is probably still salty Jefferson picked a damn dove. I know another Musical/Historical events but John still needs to sit down ..
Dude steals the show!! I love it so much! The play's called "Hamilton" but Daveed oozes so much fun and charisma that he overshines Lin. Lin could write a play called "Jefferson" cast Daveed and it'd probably be an even bigger hit!
Lin telling what do in the Reynaldo pamphlet: so basically I’m gonna stand there depressingly,being harassed by my enemies, while you guys are gonna act absolutely insane. Okay?
Iconic! He makes all characters he plays especially Jefferson and Lafayette so memorable ❤️❤️ he’s also so springy sometimes I thinks there is secretly a trampoline under him
If I could ever go watch Hamilton in theatre i would choose the seat on the left side of the front row to get a kiss from Daveed. Btw... he's from FRANCE and he PRANCE sorry it sounded better in my head hah Edit2: (sorry i have too many ideas for comments) *Why he even brings the thunder..?* Edit3: "I came as soon as I heard.." "Angelica?" "All the way from London!" *DAMN*
What Did I Miss is definitely one of my favorite songs in the whole musical. I especially love that super dramatic, somber piano in the background of the verses.
When thinking about scenes for the songs, Jefferson never changes in my head. Every little prance, shimmy, strut, etc all stays. Love is stored in the Jefferson table shimmy.
Daveed’s entire performance is literal gold. Also, I hate to say it, but the audio is off and it hurts my soul. But other than that it’s a really amazing video, and the little subtitles make it soooo much better. 😊
Jefferson: I helped Layfayette draft a declaration then I said I gotta go 2 months earlier in France Jefferson: *Talking to himself* Jefferson: I GOTTA GO!!!!!
5:00 I NEVER notices that voice break there until I slowed it down and listened. Lafayette was Jeffersons friend too, but it must be honestly much closer than I had original perceived.
(yes im replying to this 2yrs later) they were pretty tight. They hadn't seen each other for like 35 years but then Lafayette finally came to Monticello and they consumed 370 bottled of wine during his stay of 2 weeks.
All I can think of right now is thus video I was watching before where limns and that there was a cut line where Jefferson told Hamilton to "tell angelica he said what's up" and I cant stop shipping them now 😂
During the Reynolds Pamphlet everyone does in fact freestyle, the only time in the play. Anyone watching Ham slimes will note every performance is thus very different. You'll note this is the only time the King participates, but this is a built in feature of Broadway. As the character has no choreography and no interaction his character can easily be filled by guest stars on short notice. Obviously since the play is such a huge hit they haven't had the need to hire any but we'll see one day lol.
Jefferson is always iconic. DAVEED Is always iconic.
*Yes.*
I really couldn’t agree more.

@@sabrinasfruitcake I’m doing just great, how about you? By the way, unfortunately HAmIltoN ended up being not loyal to France.. 😔🥺
Between Lafayette and Jefferson DAVEED IS ICONIC
Daveed, an introvert portraying two extroverts.
Me relate in any play I do
Fun fact: The real Thomas Jefferson had social anxiety.
Respect.
i think if an introvert is forced to be extroverted, they can be pretty damn good at it ngl.... this is from experience

Best line ever
I LOVE that part!!!
OK but you should have added, "umm yes?" and "my god" they were iconic 😂 😂
His little pimp walk after he says let him know what we know lol
Literally every scene with Daveed as Thomas Jefferson should be added
so iconic

I'm pretty sure you're missing some parts of him being iconic, for example every. single. song of act 2 he is in
He is iconic and cute at the same time darn

How come nobody mentioned 6:35 yet. The best Thomas Jefferson verse in my opinion 🔥💯
He’s like a furious Pom-pom
Best description of Daveed ever!!
As both Lafayette and Jefferson, Daveed was having the time of his life on that stage
his “DAMMS” in the reynolds pamphlet-
💀
Daveed seems like that person who has no idea what the play will be like and just puts the whole audience into the mood ❤️
6:43 I have never been THAT struck by someone's swagger ever
Bro why’s no one talking about the fact that the audio is waaayyyy off?
guessing for copyright
