"Peggy is my favorite sister" and she was never seen again lol
I was just thinking the same thing
righttttt🥲
In the 2nd half, she's the woman in red who Hamilton has the affair with. In real life, I think that Peggy died young.
Historically, Margarita "Peggy" Schuyler was fairly insignificant. Basically, she got married to a rich land-owner, pumped out a bunch of kids, and died of Scarlet Fever in 1801 with little else of note to her name. She'd likely have been utterly forgotten had Lin Manuel-Miranda included her as one of the three Schuyler sisters in the play (there were actually five of them, not three, and Miranda could have just as easily chosen Cornelia or Catherine to be the "third" sister instead of Peggy).
until she became Mariah Reynolds.
Fun Fact: the guy who plays as Hamilton, Lin Manuel Miranda, wrote every song in this musical!
he is so talentedddd
@@ShyGuyPlus also handsome lmao
@@mayabaireythat man is so fine😫😫😫
@buggymah that's another reason Hamilton works: Alexander is an energetic genius try-hard. Lin might not be the best singer here but he is the perfect energetic genius try-hard to play the role.
@buggymah lol who is the other guy? Luis Salgado? Or LMM as Usnavi?
From Burr's perspective, he sees Hamilton basically coming out of nowhere and doing what he sees as political superhero shit. He's super young, like only early 20s. He's poor as hell, has nothing, but he's charismatic. He's a good soldier, he gets in with Washington, he contributes heavily to the war effort and communication and planning. He's a talented writer. He just keeps going up and up and up, all while saying everything that's on his mind and never backing down. Whatever he wants, he just goes out and gets it.
Burr spent his whole life playing everything safe, looking for opportunities to seize, never speaking his mind because he wants to keep the door open to play the other side if he thinks it will get him a leg up. That's why he grows to resent Alexander. He sees Alexander taking the riskier path and it pays off in ways Burr could never hope to achieve by playing it safe.
Oh my goodness this message popped up on my phone and I was reading it and you’ve explained this so well, like exactly what’s inside my head. Perfectly said man!
Funnily enough, I like Burr better than Hamilton, the way they're presented in this show. I just do. I find Burr more sympathetic. Am I the only one?
@stockwellsantley6606 He's definitely sympathetic, but I think Hamilton was right on the money when he criticized Burr for being spineless and having no real beliefs. Burr is an opportunist looking for ways to succeed. Hamilton was too ambitious, but he stood for what he believed in with zeal, and I respect that a lot more compared to Burr's approach to politics.
„The king can sing tho“ That’s no other than jonathan groff 🙏 He‘s an amazing actor and singer
He played Kristoff in Frozen 😊
And a pretty talented sprinkler, too 😂
@@sinswept ☂☂☂☂☂☂
And he won the Tony this year ❤
@@nbarrioAS HE SHOULD
"He is so intune with his role"
As much as he was, I think groff is just a natural waterfall 😭
what do you mean by waterfall?
@@sodafrakasim it's a joke within the Hamilton community that Jonathon groff is a "first row splash zone" or a "waterfall" because he spits while preforming lol
He is a waterfall. He did this in Spring Awakenings too...he just sings wet 😂
"I don‘t know if they said his name yet” during Aaron Burr, Sir is hilarious 😂♥️
i just learned that i ADORE ppl reacting to hamilton for the first time
King George was, literally, insane. That's why he was known as "The Mad King." "...now you're making me mad..."
All the little digs at his mental health cracks me up. People should watch the movie The Madness of King George.
Which is also why the kings actor Jonathan Groff lets his spit fly about- to make the king seem mad ahahaha i always love that little fun fact
So many little things that’s make this musical incredible. The dance in Satisfied (Angelica’s song) is the same dance as Helpless (Eliza’s song) just backwards. Lin Manuel Miranda when asked about why did he do such a diverse cast said that he wanted to show how America looked today. The woman King George killed at the beginning becomes “the bullet”, she’s appear every time a death is near. There are so many things specially in the second act ✨
fun fact:
the reason why john lauren’s and hamilton are always giving each other looks is cause historians have figured out they were secret lovers. lin tried to secretly include it in there. i think it’s so crazy how good lin is at throwing in little subtle details like that
It's a RUMOR by people who want it to be true.
@@drummergirl2319 um look at the letters? it’s literally true. one of the letters were torn out cause it was not appropriate to publish. research it. have a good day
@@drummergirl2319 Yeah, it doesn’t make sense to assume something like that with no real evidence🤷♀️
@@0401tri iirc it's mostly widely believed that (based on their surviving letters) Hamilton may have had something of a boy crush on him, and was said to be profoundly affected by his death, and Laurens... Saw him as a good friend. xD
@@drummergirl2319It isn't really a rumor, but it isn't sure (similar to his relationship with Angelica). There is also the fact that Hamilton's letters were more effusive than Laurens', so the feeling might have been one-sided, but a lot of letters got either lost or censured (like the letter "Cold in my professions, warm in my friendships...").
Edit: the biography on which it's based, said that at least Hamilton had a infatuation with Laurens.
There are other historian that think something among those lines, even a historian that sound kind of discriminatory (he wrote something like "it raises concerning questions about Hamilton's sexuality")
30:30 You'll notice an extra beat after "immigrants, we get the job done" before the song continues. It wasn't there originally, but the show opened right around a lot of chaos about immigration policy and the line would get loud applause every night, so they had to add a beat so the next line didn't get drowned out.
7:52 your idea of that being a representative of a thought process is so cool, I never thought about it that way
@@lizzieheart709 it usually is like that on musical plays, especially when a blue light is used
@@klosux I did know that it was a way of showing you’re entering a character’s head and even without the light, it’s clear from the song that’s what’s happening, but honestly I’m not a big Hamilton person so I’ve never paid that much attention to the actual blocking of the scene esp of the other actors and what it’s saying specifically about his mental state
Johnathan Groff played King George. He only appeared for 9 minutes in the play, but was nominated for a Tony Award. King George had a history of madness.
Even though Jonathan Groff is a spitter because of his singing style, it's actually historically accurate with how King George III was as he started to lose his mind. He spit when he yelled.
A relationship that I wish had been a little more explored in this play is Washington and Lafayette. Lafayette was an extremely wealthy orphan from France, whose father had died fighting the British so when he heard about America's revolution, he believed in the ideals and came over immediately basically begging them to let him fight the British. He was only about 19. And it said that when he and George Washington met, it was sort of like love at first sight, but not in a homosexual way
It was like Lafayette saw this elegant, eloquent general that appeared to be everything he could've hoped for in a father. And Washington saw this incredibly smart and talented young man who was almost like everything he could've pictured in the son that HE never had. They were tight in an almost fatherly-son type relationship, that washington's home had a guest room specifically designated for Lafayette with a huge picture of him. And when Lafayette became a father, he named his first son George Washington.
Lafayette may have been just a young guy at the beginning of the war, but he was an extremely talented general and definitely we could not of won the war without him not only with his talent on the field, but also his wealthy connections in France got us a lot of aid and support.
Hamilton: “CALL ME SON ONE MORE TIME!”
Washingtons thoughts: buddy you got daddy issues
Shy Guy: "Oh, shoot"
Aaron Burr: " And I took that personally"
I love that new people are discovering this. I went nuts with everyone during the pandemic watching it and reactions. Now I get to do it again and enjoy your reaction.
From this one, the man playing Samuel Seabury (the one who sang the duet in opposition to Hamilton about how he opposed the Revolution), Thayne Jasperson, is still in the show and the only member of the original cast still performing in Hamilton on Broadway!
Lin had a very young little boy at the time and Leslie had a very young little girl. So in a moment of art imitating life Dear Theodosia went very deep for both actors
The foreshadowing in Hamilton is insane. After Burr said "Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead." And then Laurens was the first one after him to sing. Later in the film, Laurens is the first one to die.
No joke: in "Alexander Hamilton" two actors say "we fought with him." In act one their characters fight alongside him, in act two their (different) characters actually fight over politics with Hamilton. You can watch this 100 times and still find new Easter eggs and genius writing.
And burr said “like i said”
@@Isnt_available FR 😱
one that drives me crazy is that one of the backup actresses represents death. Like hamiltons son was flirting with her right before he died. he was literally flirting with death. she was also holding the bullet that killed hamilton. im sure there are more examples but i cant think of them rn
@@s.amanthaa I think I read that it starts when she is the person killed by the British soldier (right after You'll Be Back). From that point on, every character she touches ends up dying. She shakes hands with Laurens during Yorktown, as you say she flirts with Philip, and yes, she plays "the bullet."
Just a little bit about one thing you got wrong at 8:30 (Disclaimer, I'm not an historian and I got most of these facts from comments on other Hamilton videos so I might be wrong on some detail.)
The revolution is not to end slavery, it's about independence from the British Empire. Civil war between the orth and the South, which was all about ending slavery (and of course politics) happened later. Everyone here had slaves, Washington had slaves (and freed his slaves at his death), Philip Schuyler had slaves, Hamilton had slaves. Only John Laurens was an abolitionist and Hamilton I think wrote something about the opportunity to end slavery, while Washington certainly did so, but he thought ending slavery would cause a rift between the North and the South so he thought it unwise to open that rift at this point in time (in the musical, during Yorktown, he says "not yet").
I think the Hamilton in this music is presented as a little more abolitionist than he really was according to historical sources.
16:32 Washington is defending New York, the English troops are invading, and they deployed some cannons in the Battery (southern Manhattan point) to support their invasion. Hamilton's squad conquered the place back and fired them towards other English troops. The Engliish subsequently pushed the revolutionaries out of Manhattan.
It's debated by historians whether Hamilton owned slaves directly (though he was absolutely connected to plenty of slave owners). Also fun fact, his relationship with Laurens was possibly a little 💅
They wrote to each other often and lamented not being able to share a bed together.
The war about slavery was the American Civil War, which happened in the 1860's. This is the American Independence War, which happened in the 1770's.
okay since no one has said anything yet i’ll try to explain angelica and hamiltons relationship. historically they were close and this is also represented in the play. you’ll see more about this in the next act. yes, she has a husband, and yes she still asks him to write 😂…. complicated lol
It's like, even though Eliza was his emotional and physical mate, she was his intellectual mate. They were capable of having conversations that Eliza couldn't even follow.
Angelica saying she now has a husband:
Mans: Are they together!?!?!??!
right???
Hamilton wasn't Washington's second in command. He was his personal secretary, which was a very important job just like it is today for people who are very busy and carry a lot of responsibility. Washington didn't promote Hamilton to a field command because he felt Hamilton could do the most/best for the war effort by continuing to help Washington oversee everything. The two really understood each other and Hamilton actually wrote a lot of Washington's correspondence. In the scene where Washington steps down from the Presidency, the speech starts in Hamilton's voice and blends into both men speaking, and ends with Washington, because historians are not clear how much was written by Washington and how much by Hamilton.
I actually looked up Washington's letter and it is very long.
also a non-american here who used to listen to hamilton on loop 😅 and same i didnt even know who Hamilton was, but i did recognize names like George Washington and knew the broad strokes of that part of their history (ie. separating from Britain)
you're doing good. it's always a joy to see your reactions 👍
thank you soo sooo muchh!!
Don’t worry man, most Americans also didn’t really know who Hamilton was aside from the dude on the $5 bill before this musical.
As a Canadian who does the same thing, I swear I wish I lived in America just to crush that exam lol (Canadian history is so boring :/)
@@PencilKing21
Hamilton's on the $10. Lincoln is on the $5. Lol.
@@elbrucesoh yeah lmao. I wrote that while I was tired as fuck
31:48 He actually survived the war, and helped the french revolution!
(During the American Revolution he got shot in the leg, he refuesed to give in until blood was filling his boot)
This is not the war to end slavery (although it is a wish of them) this is the revolutionary war where we split from England.
Great Reaction.🤞 That you were familiar with “dual casting” on stage (the same actors taking on different roles in one show) before recording part 2. With Hamilton I always think “duel casting” is a better fit though, lol.
the correct term is "multi-roling" but yes, Hamilton is a really good example of effective multi-roling
@@evahjacobs2613 I always heard multi rolling, dual casting and double casting were all interchangeable terms for it? I chose dual casting because of my corny joke. I know I have heard multi rolling is a more popular terminology in the UK, but I’m not whether or not that is true.
@@reneebush2399 ahhhhh okay okay...well i took theatre arts in high school and my teacher told us the term was multi-roling (im from the Caribbean😂)....i did however look it up and i saw "double casting" but the definition for that is what we call "split roling" (when multiple actors play a singular character in a production)
Yeah, dual casting only shows up on the front page of google if you type in “dual casting theatre”. Searching dual casting by itself gets you a bunch of Skyrim dual casting card links as the top results. lol.
Shy Guy: Burr and Hamilton are gonna have a rivalry
Me: you don’t even know what’s about to happen
Angelica got married and she wants Alexander to continue to write to her
In life, Angelica was already married when she met Alexander. She and her husband, John Church, were both very good friends with him.
Alexander was flirty with everyone. There were rumors about him and Peggy, Angelica, John Laurens, just everyone.
@@chellesama8256 so she really did forget her name when she met him, her husbands surNAME 🤣🤣
FUN FACT!!: There is a LOTTTT of foreshadowing in this musical for example, in 'My shot' when burr says "fools who run their mouth off wind up dead" and the next person to sing was John Laurens, who ends up passing away. Another example, in the song 'Take a break" Hamilton says "Macbeth" which people say if someone says macbeth in theatre things will go wrong with the act. After Hamilton says it his life goes down hill!!
King George III had schizophrenia and most of the decisions to attack the colonies during the American Revolution came from Parliament (basically Britain's government) so King George III would have a moment where he didn't know what was going on, then to being angry, then to being sad that he was being mean to the colonists but the colonists were actually so mean to him, which he wasn't the best king but still, lol. The Schuyler's were the richest and most prominent family in all of New York, everyone in the colonies and a lot of people from Britain knew who they were. Philip Schuyler (the Schuyler sister's father) was a General during the Revolutionary War and worked closely with George Washington, it has been said that George Washington and Alexander Hamilton went to the Schuyler's home before to discuss things about the war with General Philip Schuyler so Elizabeth had met Hamilton before the Winter's Ball, Philip Schuyler married Catherine Van Rensselaer and they had a total of 15 children, only 8 making it to adulthood including Angelica, Elizabeth, and Margarita (Peggy). The Winter of 1779-1780 the Schuyler sisters were actually staying with their aunt and uncle (their uncle was the doctor of the Continental Army) and they were invited to all of these balls which were actually called subscription balls that were held by the continental army during that treacherous winter. Angelica was the oldest out of all of the children and Elizabeth was the second born child, so when Angelica met Alexander she gave him up for Elizabeth because she was the oldest so she had to marry rich, because she needed to climb the social ladder and set an example for the rest of her siblings, that being said she married John Barker Church in 1777 who was a very wealthy English businessman who was a supplier of the Continental Army. Since the war was over, Angelica and John moved to England, hence why she said "don't forget to write." Also, Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr were never actually friends, they kinda just tolerated each other and worked together a bit, so Aaron Burr had no issue exposing Hamilton for anything that Burr heard.
Sorry that was a lot but I have way more that I'm going to yap about in part 2.
It’s so funny bc lately I’ve been on a kick of watching reactors watch Hamilton and this got recommended to me and was posted 2 days ago. Just what I needed for a Monday 🥳 my algorithm is algorithming lol
“damn that suckssss” lol that part got me laughing 😂
LMAOOOO
Fun fact! the guy who played Lafyette/ Jefferson (daveed diggs) had never done musical theatre before and Lin manuel miranda (hamilton) wrote the part for him!
This is about the American Revolution in 1700s. America was still a British colony and the revolution war was to gain independence from the British Empire. George Washington became the first president of the US, and many of the other men are known as “Founding Fathers”, including Hamilton. The war to end slavery was in the late 1800s, and it was a civil war inside America.
"The king can SING BROOOO"😂 BROOOOO THAT'S JONATHAN GROFFFFFFF😂😂😂 HE'S FRICKING INCREDIBLE😂
You are doing a great job of following all the plot points and characters!! Enjoying your take on everything.
To clarify one item in Act 1, Hamilton is George Washington’s Secretary not second his in command. But that position is considered his “right hand man.”
Hamilton wants to have his own command leading actual troops into battle so he can make a name for himself in the fight against the British but you have to remember he’s very young still at this point, just out of college (maybe 18-19). Washington sees the great promise in young Hamilton so by allowing him to be his secretary Hamilton gets a front seat to the goings on of the war and can help with Washington’s campaign against the British succeed.
And Hamilton is considered his right hand man because he is an excellent writer (Secretary) who’s power of persuasion and organization is almost unmatched and that is very valuable to Washington’s efforts to strategize and fight off the British Troops while simultaneously keeping the support of the revolutionary rebels who are attempting to break free from the Kings rule in order to govern themselves.
The characters in this play basically created the USA from scratch but in order to do so they had to first be independent from British rule 🎉
By next month, I will have seen Hamilton live a total of ten times in my life. It is so cool to see your genuine reaction to this amazing show. You catch the good stuff. Awesome reaction video!!
16:55 dear lord
I came to the comments looking for this reaction 😂
Dear god, so wrong. lol.
lol it's fun learning what people from other countries think what happened to make America.
Fun fact. The guy who plays the king is kristoff and Frozen.
Fun fact: Jonathan Groff is the voice of Christof from frozen
35:42 Alex and Angelica had a very strong bond of freindship and that they loved eachother in a way like people love their siblings.
Incredible musical and cast, It's insane how talented, phenomenal everyone who worked on this. It's okay to ask questions cause I was thinking the same thing and that's how the story hooks you in and makes you curious! also personally I appreciate the pauses tbh cause there's so much details to digest even a few mins in and I can tell how invested you are, def gonna subscribe now!
28:59 No. But you know what's crazy? They kiss 3 times every show and they do 8 shows a week meaning they kiss 24 times a week. I bet Lin kissed Phillipa more times than his wife some weeks.
The actor that plays the king name is Johnathan Groff. He was in glee and voiced Kristoff in frozen
Your enthusiastic reaction is fun - makes me almost feel like I'm watching it again for the first time.
I like how u react to the things and the visuals u really try to understand what's happening Can't wait to watch more 😊
17:25 “they’re gonna have a rivalry” well…yes!
I love Aaron so much & Leslie could sing his way out of hell istg
Leslie is def my fav!!! Between singing dancing and acting he definitely takes the cake !!
you are quickly becoming one of my favorite reactors!!! i believe you’re going to continue to get more and more popularity - i’m kinda proud i’m early here to see your channel grow. don’t forget me when you’re famous 😂 i was here at 1.74k
Loved this!!!!!!! Can't wait for the second part! My aunt bought my mom and I tickets to see this on Broadway and mannnnnnn, it was amazing!!!!!!!
I've seen this musical so many times when it had come out and I only now see a funny little thing with the opening song. When you see the Schuyler sisters each sing "I loved him" you could interpret it as all three of the sisters being into him at one point. BUT since Peggy's actress ALSO plays as Ms. Mariah Reynolds it's a lowkey nod to his infidelity in the future. It's been so many years and I JUST got that lmaoo
sorry i said u got an F in history class, i assumed u were american lol
I’m sorry, but this is cracking me up 😭
@@destinysamuel5628 hey im American im privileged and assume every1 else is also lol
lmaoooo ur all good man!
I missed it somehow, where is dude located?
@@mayabaireyCanada I think but originally from somewhere in the Caribbean I think he said
This is probably gonna be the first thing I watch when I wake up tmr
😘
Just finished a Hadestown reaction by you and i wasnt sure yet....but watching you watch this is awesome! Thank you for paying attention and trying to gather info when there is so much happening at once. Great reaction!❤
Hamilton saying “if you stand for nothing, Burr, what’ll you fall for?” was actually a paraphrase of something that Hamilton wrote in an essay to persuade Colonists to ratify the American Constitution. The actual quote is “if you stand for nothing, you’ll fall for anything” (this is my favorite quote of any founding fathers, so I was happy it was put in the musical)
its my first time enjoying watching a full reaction video, i love the vibe bro!
16:46 erm other way around man
I was just about to comment that exact same thing
Just so you understand back then the main form of communication was letters so it was not odd for Angelica to say to Hamilton to remember to write. They are brother and sister in law.
In real life they most likely did not have any affair. They did write some rather affectionate letters but that’s about it. Angelica was already married when she first met Hamilton and was in England with her husband for the majority of Eliza and Hamilton marriage. Eliza and Hamilton had eight children total.
13:41 IM CRYING HIS REACTION TO THE KING SPITTING 😂
Bro daveed diggs is such an icon he is a whole mood
Fun Fact: King George actually spit a lot when he was talking so Johnthon Goff (I think that’s his name) is the actor so he thought he would add that detail.
The king is the voice of Kristof from frozen 😊
Lin said “this is a story about America then, by America told my now”
YESSS ALEXANDER HAMILTON WE ARE WAITING IN THE WINGS FOR U
Yes! I love the Stage show terminologies that Lin sneaks into his shows. My favorite in this show is “(enter me), he says in parentheses”. My favorite overall is “lights up” when the lights go up in the opening of “In the Heights”. The “In the Heights one fits parallel with “waiting in the wings for you” because several actors are waiting in the wings when that line is sung.
Cool! I like long reaction videos! Keep it up for the other parts.
9:15 fun fact : Those two were in love irl so they wrote love letters and theres a ship name for them “Lams” so :>
Duel casting can be a bit confusing. They do a good job with it. It’s also done in “ Come from Away”. Another true story musical.
I just watched Hamilton for the first time the other day and I love Peggy, too! 🤣 Peggy is a really cute name. 💞
“They’re gonna talk now?” Oh buddy…
The king can def sing. Groff is ridiculously talented
Whenever the stage rotates clockwise, it represents change and advancement. When it rotates counterclockwise, it represents conflict and stubbornness. Also, the background gets slowly built throughout the play, representing the building of a new nation.
36:43 the fact that he was more gentle to Angelica than his own wife
Lee was 2nd in command because Hamilton said he didnt want to be sexond in command since he would have to write instead of fighting which is what he wanted to do
I'm liking this in advance! It's late in Sydney and I'm gonna save this for tomorrow 🥰🤗
Fun fact the guy who’s playing the king played Jesse St. James in Glee and voices Kristoff in Frozen
also when angelica sings at the end shes singing about how shes found a wealthy husband in london and going to travel to london just so you know!
I recently saw the show live, not the og cast obvi but all the actors and actresses were so good, teared up at the end of Stay Alive Reprise and got goosies from Satisfied (I was in the first row of the dress circle)
Me now thinking about an excuse too why I need to move my date too a different time just so I can watch this…
😅dkm lolll
Before this musical, the most people knew about Hamilton was that he died in a duel and that he’s on the $10 bill
Hear me out
Lin Manuel
The guy who played Washington
Bc I’m Les
MARIAAAAA
I watch Hamilton with this level of excitement as if I haven’t seen it a hundred times. I’m bouta put it on now!
please protect this man at all cost😭❤
You asking all these questions while watching is so great. LOL It makes me remember my first watch!
I’m feeling like performing “room where it happens” with my friends for a talent show
ALL I have to say is EXACTLY. He brought TRUE HIPHOP BACK, front and Center and introduced it to a new generation PLUS a history lesson!! ❤❤ It confused me when I saw the WH performance…until…I GOT IT!! 💗👍🏾👍🏾
This isn't at all an angry correction--you did a great job at piecing things together from a very lyrically dense show, and I just really like talking about history!
In Right Hand Man (George Washington's first number), Hamilton is appointed as Washington's chief aide, which did come with an officer's rank but not one as high as being second in command of the whole Continental Army. There were lots of other generals and lower-ranking officers who were under Washington--Lafayette was appointed as a major general at 19!
Also in Right Hand Man, they're trying to defend New York (and later New Jersey) against a British invasion. The Continental Army failed to defend Manhattan and was forced further upstate. What we think of now as New York City was almost entirely under British control for most of the Revolutionary War!
They mention slavery a lot but this was about the Revolutionary War. It's such an amazing work of art!
alexander hamilton and john laurens are thought to have been in a secret relationship because of some words in different letters. Like “I wish, my dear Laurens, that it might be in my power, by action, rather than words, to convince you that I love you." and “You should not have taken advantage of my sensibility to steal into my affections without my consent.” Some historians can even prove it by just the letters.
Estaré esperando con ansias!!! Me encantan tus reacciones sobre los musicales :)) ❤
Hamilton was out first Secretary of the Treasury which he set up. He was in a duel with Aaron Burr and lost.
The saddest part about Lauren’s death is all the slaves he freed where sent Back to their masters so the helped win the war and there payment was for the person who helped free them to die and for them to go back to their masters
The lyrics say his name like 17 times... "I don't know if they said his name yet" lolol
Such a great modern musical to introduce you to other musicals and this medium.
If you enjoy the rap in this i suggest looking up Freestyle Love Supreme. It was started by Lin (Hamilton), Chris Jackson(Washington), Daveed Diggs(Lafayette/Jefferson) and several others when they were in college. Look for video with the OGs. The group is still around but obviously after this the OGs blew up and only periodically get back back to perform.
Keep in mind there are some significant liberties taken with the history, Lin Manuel Miranda admits that he forgot parts of the Skyler's history when writing the musical - like all the boys in the family and the fact that Angelica never had a romantic relationship with Hamilton, she was already married when they met.
“Oh shi I spilled” *goes back to dancing*
I love watching people discover Jon Groff’s singing ability
