An interesting historical fact: James Madison (the one coughing the entire second act) outlived all of the other founding fathers portrayed in this show. He was sick his whole career and yet they died before him.
but angelica outlived him she was the last one alive during those events with personal knowledge of them to pass
Darkest Argentum Angelica or Eliza ?? Angelica died a bit after Hamilton and Eliza continued on trying to carry on his legacy and tell the stories of those he worked with
@@miztameka yes, it would have been Eliza
Darkest Argentum their talking about the founding fathers.
@@WardNightstone angelica isnt a founding father
Icarus is from Greek mythology . He made wings made of wax and thought so much of himself that he felt he could do anything. Then he flew too close to the sun -- his wings melted and he fell back to Earth. The ultimate smackdown.
His wings melted and he fell into the ocean and drowned. Basically he was his own downfall
Essentially a parable about the dangers of arrogance and overconfidence
His father Daedalus did warn him of his hubris....listen to your Dad kids or you’ll fly to close to the sun with your pride.
The famous saying "Don't fly too close to the sun" is from Icarus.
tbf this also has a flipside, the full thing was warning him of hubris and arrogance; flying too close to the sun would melt the wax) and also complacency; flying too low and the sea would damp his wings and he'd fall. All about finding that good middle ground!
"like my father but bolder" dies in a duel, but does it first
Right🤣
He said bolder not quicker 😂😂😂
He said Boulder, Alexander was the son of Dwayne the rock Johnson
Fun fact: Alexander and his son were both killed in the same spot with the same gun.
🤭😧
Angelica actually did go off on Hamilton there is a song called Congratulations that was cut for time
There were about three songs cut.
You mean the MixTape? Oh wait, there's another recording of songs that were excluded for time. Like the one about John Adams. Yeah. Congratulations is cool. Some of the songs wouldn't have fit in the tonality of the songs they chose for the play. It's really cool they let us have access to the ones excluded and also the ones on the Mix Tape.
I begged you to take a break, you refused to!
@@enasabuewaida4983 so scared of what your enemy will do to you
@@kenasiafrieson you're the only enemy you ever seem to lose to
They are showing Jefferson was out of touch. He came back to a world of Hip Hop but he was stuck in Jazz.
Didn’t even realize this 😳
That’s actually such a good observation
Same with King George. Old world vs new world
@@micahkessner5592 Yes. He is singing British invasion rock.
Oh shit I did not realize that.
The thought "Philipa Soo is a great actress" always crosses my mind during "It's quiet uptown", just like it came up in the video. It's impressive how strong her performance is, considering she is silent throughout the song. She is amazing.
She killed it
I always breakdown after she says "It's quiet uptown" and the back up vocals say "Forgiveness".
Omg, I agree. Her eyes though.
i remember reading somewhere once that eliza doesn’t rap the whole musical and it’s because she wasn’t in a rush to tell her story. she outlived everyone. but in the last song, she’s rushing to tell alexander’s story and her own because she’s afraid she hasn’t done enough in her time and that she wasn’t able to tell his story.
She beat boxes for her son though
@@CloudslnMyCoffee that’s it rapping 😭
@@CloudslnMyCoffee not*
Maria is actually a sad character. She was being abused by her husband and felt worthless. She wasn’t self sufficient so she used Hamilton for comfort.
I feel like Hamilton took advantage of Maria. He was in a position of power.
Karen Gibson At least in the musical, that’s not the case. She took advantage of him first and begged and manipulated him to continue (at least in the musical)
He may very well have been abusive, but they were a husband/wife grifter team. They ran a con on Hamilton. Hamilton was probably the smartest man on the planet, but he got played.
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.
DAMN
Daveed Diggs is a national treasure we must protect at all costs 💯
You beat me to it 🙌🏻❤️
I second this opinion!
Amen
Preach
hes going to be in the live action The Little Mermaid 🥰
Lin-Manuel Miranda (the man who played Hamilton and wrote this entire musical) said he called it Hamilton because it isn't just about Alexander. It's also Eliza's story.
That's deep..... damn
In his Tony awards speech he says “elizas story is told” and on the red carpet he says he hoped Eliza would be proud of him for telling the Hamiltons’ story because that’s what she fought for 50 years of her life. I’ve always thought the name of the show was actually because of her. And I very much enjoy the theory that when Lin holds elizas hand and shows her the audience in the last song, it’s him saying “look Eliza I told your story!” answering her question in the same song “will they tell my story?”
@@larissaprates1384 whoa what an awesome perspective!! I honestly ALWAYS cry in the end :(
Oh god I didn’t know about that and you’re gonna make me tear up all over again 😭😭😭 that’s so heartbreakingly beautiful ❤️🩹
When Philip died he told her mother that he was sorry for forgetting what she teached him. In take a break they were learning to count in French and he had troubled with 7, when Philip was shot it happens at 7 because he thinks its his fault. And that is sad :(
STOP THAT MADE ME TEAR UP 🥺🥺🥺🥺
OMG STOP
He also died on 7 when they re-sang it while he was on the table.
Why is everyone coming for Anthony playing a 9 year old when Hamilton is 19 in the beginning of the play???🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 right and I'm pretty sure Anthony is closer to 9 then Lin being 19
@@terynb4407 😂😂😂😂
I thought it enhanced the comedy of the scene, love it
@@tbella5186 it definetly did 😂 and they avoided child labor laws and just had a "man child" instead
And in satisfied Angelica sings "peach fuzz, and he can't even grow it" 😂
When playing "It's quiet uptown". The three of them made faces that I do when I am holding the tears.
During 'Burn" in the live theater performance, she's really burning papers, and the scent of smoke just rolls out into the audience and it's an absolute gut punch.
I thought she was really burning paper. Every time I see that part I wonder how many safety inspections they must need and whether they have a fire crew on standby or something. Theater fires are some of the most horrific disasters in history. I also wonder if there's water in the bucket so the fire goes out immediately when she drops the paper and the bucket doesn't get too hot.
@@punkinholler i'm very late to this thread but! they actually used special paper they made to extinguish in exactly the number of seconds it takes from her lighting it to her hitting the point in the song where it goes out. that's how they control the timing (and it's much safer than burning regular paper) 🙂
@@tinyandterrible So essentially a very weak candle shaped like paper, or something similar?
@@jaydenekweonu8153 Nope.. just slow burning paper
I would like to know how many times homie in the middle has seen this because he was all in the entire time 😂💀💀
A lot
~21 savage
Dude on the right too lol
It's so fun to watch them react. Too many times I want to tell them, pause, PAUSE! You're missing stuff! LOL.
We do not deserve Christopher Jackson’s heavenly voice.
I know, right???
Alexander Hamilton's mother was French and his father was Scottish. The term 'creole bastard' was really insulting.
Fun fact:
Peggy/Maria actress Jasmine Jones is engaged to Anthony Ramos (Laurens/Phillip).
You're the first Hamilton Reaction I've watched that paused and acknowledged the mention of Sally Hemings in 'What'd I Miss'!
That was my ONLY disappointment with the play.
Sally wasn't given her dues. Aweful oversight...
Here’s a little fun theatre fact, saying ‘’Macbeth” while in a theatre technically grants that theatre bad luck or a curse is set upon the theatre, which mean eventually something bad will happen. In Take A Break, Hamilton says Macbeth while writing to Angelica and from there his life began to go way downhill.
They used a loophole. Saying Macbeth as the title is bad luck, Hamilton said it in reference to the *character* Macbeth.
yeah, you can't say the name of the play, which he cleverly skirts around, but you can say the name of the character. i wonder where that superstition comes from. in any case, Lin wasn't going to risk it!
@@rend7267 supposedly Shakespeare used real incantations for the play and witches took offense to that and cursed the play.
@@Serenity113 oh I didn’t know about that. I just know that during various performances, the cast and crew experienced a lot of... issues
And Daveed said he was uncomfortable singing 💀
A.Ham gave Maria money because she said she was broke. That $30 was worth about $800 back then.
N the thing is that he had it in his pocket like nothing. Like cant relate lol
Hes too kind
Am I the only one who read that as A dot Ham..?
The reason Eliza was wearing black in "Stay Alive Reprise" was because she was coming back from Peggy's funeral- the "heartbreak" Alexander was referring to in "Blow Us All Away".
Actually that’s not true 😭, she was still mourning her death.
@@lifewithlaysia. My pardon, but I believe that I did not say that Peggy died right before Philip. I said that her funeral was right before Philip's death. Travel took much longer in the 1800s, (there was no such thing as cars or planes) so funerals weren't always held immediately after a person's death. Mourning periods lasted two years in the 1800s, and Peggy and Philip died five months apart, so yes, you are correct that Eliza was still mourning Peggy when Philip died.
Hamilton is the one that told Eliza about peggy
Sword of Gallifrey but it wasn’t 💀, they use to wear black to mourn a death she didn’t even go to the funeral ii believe But we can agree to disagree
Hamilton: Lafayette’s a smart man he’ll be fine
Lafayette: *in prison in Austria for 5 years*
Anjelica and her husband get him out.
🤭
Peggy has a album and its fireeee
Her name is jasmine cephas Jones
Yessssss, all 24 minutes of it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It’s so fire
Its fireeeeee
God i love her
I'm still listening to Little Bird like it's the first time I heard it!
@c moneyyy yeeeaaah i saw thaaat
She was amazing on that serie
Got the notification and click boom I’m in the room where it happened
I wanna be in the room where it happened .-.
Have my like, stranger.
Freya779 why thank you. Very generous. ❤️
Fun fact: No one actually know what happened during the meeting between Hamilton and Jefferson which is why Room Where It Happens is from Burr's POV! I've been so excited for the second part of this and you guys didn't disappoint!
Editing for a second fun fact! Best of Wives and Best of Women is only 37 words long to represent the length of time Eliza and Alexander were married.
Huh? How is that possible? Alexander was in his 40s when he died. They didn't get married when they were children...
@@ia8343 that's just what I've read.
srj 19901 Oh yeah it’s false, they were married for 24 years. No worries!
@@ia8343 Yeah, it's not a reference to the length of their marriage. It's an actual line from Alexander's last letter to Eliza before he died.
1. No one ever comments on how sweet little Eliza wants to take Hamilton to a lake when the night gets dark. 😉
2. Lin giving JCJ the Peggy voice, then unleashing her as Maria. And that look at 12:50🔥
3. The overlapping themes... yeah, genius
4. Gospel album teaser- One More Time, 44 Remix 👍🏾
4. The disappearing heartbeat 😢
“I was lip syncing and I couldn’t hold that note!” 🤣👍💯
You guys should react to the Hamilton mixtape or the deleted songs
Or the demos 🥴
All of the above please!
Jazzy Bear oh no... not the Demos...
AKiwiKitten The Say No to This is hilarious tho
AKiwiKitten I just need them to hear they HEEEAIUUAHHHHYYY at the beginning of the Helpless demo 😭
More foreshadow: when phillip was 9 he kept messing up count in French and he messed up count in the duel. When phillip was asking the girls for George eacker, the girl with the blond and black hair is called the bullet. So when he flirts with the bullet he flirting with death.
Did y'all notice how the end of hurricane the company was telling Alexander to "wait for it" and basically not "write his way out" with the reynolds pamphlet.
Burr also says the line right after Hamilton said "I couldn't seem to die"
Burr shoots back with "Wait for it..."
@@tbella5186 so many dots to connect!
Yes, it’s such an amazing detail!! Throughout the majority of the musical, Burr’s “wait for it” motto is basically seen as foolish and is often mocked by Alexander in particular, but near the end the tone and connotation of that phrase shifts into genuine advice and concern. It starts being used as a way to worriedly warn the characters against making very bad decisions, such as Hamilton writing the Reynold’s Pamphlet and Burr deciding to fire his gun during their duel. Burr even screams “WAIT!” right as his gun fires and the bullet hits Hamilton, as if at that moment Burr’s own conscience is desperately trying to stop him from making what would turn out to be the worst mistake of his entire life.
There’s an amazing video analysis of that “wait for it” motif on UA-cam that I think you might really enjoy!! I can’t remember the channel or the exact title of the video, but I think the title includes something about ‘emotion’ and ‘motifs’. It’s the perfect balance of informative and entertaining, and it also goes into detail about the part you mentioned!
If you put the George Washington performance in perspective it makes sense for the actor to get so emotional. They reunited one last time to record this for the Disney+ release so for him it is literally the last time he will perform this song on stage not only with his original cast but probably ever.
I mean you ain’t have to make us all sad and what not not
The spoken part in One Last Time is an excerpt from Washington’s Farewell Address
I love the "wait for it" sequence in Room where it happens. With how the music is composed and the looks on the actors' faces it feels like it turns into a waking nightmare for Burr and it's so deliciously dark.
“nobody needs to know”
*laughs in reynolds pamphlet*
I love seeing people who are as obsessed with Hamilton as I am! And Daveed... just makes me feel things.
I definitely feel ya on that, sister 😌 Every time I think of that Greek God of a man (which is very frequently lol) I always have to take a moment to recover bc I’m reminded all over again of how attractive he is in every way 😮💨❤️🔥😂
bro the way i sobbed during its quiet uptown- I'm surprised yall didn't shed not one tear lmao
We might have cut it out👀
@@TheReactionCouch I KNEW IT
When Hamilton’s son dies, you can hear the drum beat..it’s his Philip’s heartbeat..it stops when he dies.
I wanna watch Hamilton with the guy in the middle! I love his energy 🥰
HEY GUYS!!! They took part 1 down for copyright!!!! I am working on getting the content back up. Sorry for the setback guys!
Are you serious?!!! That's messed up!!
i hope yall wont get into trouble because of copyright you guys seem pretty genuine
Just do it again with a new first timer. Would love to see another reactionn😁
I wondered where it went. Fwiw, I loved this. You had really enthusiastic responses, both those of you who had already seen it and your friend who hadn't. This was, as they say, quality content!
Would love to see the first half! fun watch!
yo we need that breakdown of y'alls top five soon
Really already recorded👀👀👀 Let’s see if others agree!!! Thanks for watching
J’Nahshon yessssss!! Need it
Yessir!
YES
J’Nahshon YESSSSS and what’s y’all’s least favorite
Anthony Ramos (Phillip Schuyler) was only 24 at the time of filming. And he’s currently engaged to Jasmine C. Jones (Peggy/Mariah Reynolds)
They were all so young! Phillipa was 25 and Jazzy was around that age too! Crazy talented people!
I did a double take when i realized that Peggy and Mariah Reynolds were the same person. I wasn't expecting pipes like that and definitely didn't expect that tone. And y'all should find the third cabinet battle that they cut out when you get a chance. He put Hail Mary by Tupac to good use. And there was a whole John Adams rap that got cut because since he never actually showed up in the play they thought it was kinda useless.
If you haven’t watched him sing this at the Whitehouse for Obama- do yourself a favor and go watch Chris sing “one last time” at the White House!
It was right before President Obama's second term concluded and he speaks about the peaceful transition of power, and how vital a part of our democracy it is. So powerful, and so timely a topic right now in 2020. We see how it should be as opposed to how it is now.
That is one of the most powerful performances of anything I've ever seen. Half the cast and half the audience were crying their eyes out.
I just watched it on your recommendation. I can’t stop crying. 😭
I just watched it on your recommendation. I can’t stop crying. 😭
@@punkinholler I thought so too. And in light of the events of these last few months- is so incredible and uplifting.
I see you on the right, trying to hide yourself singing along & wiping tears at the end. Love watching this, the guy on the left experiencing it for the first time, trying to take it all in & the maestro in the middle representing every Hamilton fan acting & singing along.
What are you watching next? Rent? In the Heights would be great, but we probably have to wait for the movie. More excellent Chris Jackson singing
"What was Peggy just doing?" Peggy's choreography in that moment matches Satisfied's beat. Notice that when Eliza is saying "I grabbed my sister and whispered this one's mine" the way she's glancing back at Alexander doesn't match her song at all either... But it matches Satisfied. (I look in my sister's eyes and she is -- helpless! -- and I know she is -- helpless! -- and I realized three fundamental things at the exact same time!)
Helpless and Satisfied have nearly identical choreography since it's both sisters memories of the same two weeks. There's a really good comparison video out now.
Both songs chorey is exactly the same ... just Satisfied is done in reverse to Helpless. There’s a video showing both songs and it’s chorey side by side. The cast said Helpless was difficult and then the next day the choreographer said ‘ok ... now do it in reverse for Satified’. Shows how skilled the entire cast are
The Hamiltons daughter went crazy after Philip died. She had to be hospitalized after if i remember correctly
Eliza's last words were to her other children, "Be kind to Angelica", her daughter's name.
She Didn’t Go Crazy She Just Reverted Back Into A Child Like State And Pretend Like Phillip Was Still Alive A Play With Him
Loved that you included Helpless in this! Fun fact: Lin modelled it after early 2000's Ashanti and Ja Rule songs. That's why at the end of his rap, he lowers his voice and growls through it like Ja (it also made Philippa Soo laugh). So for the Hamilton Mixtape, they actually got Ashanti and Ja to sing it. There's a video on UA-cam of them performing it on the Hamilton stage!
You don’t know how long I been waiting for this lmao, I thought y’all forgot☠️
I could never thanks for being patient we are all in college and work full time so we are busy! But Im devoted thanks for watching and being apart of the nashon
At the end, when Eliza gasps (it has different meanings) it means that she breaks the fourth wall and sees that her story is being told. In that part Lin-Manuel Miranda stops being Alexander h=Hamilton and there is where he and Eliza meet for the first time and he shows her.
Chills.
While Lin-Manuel Miranda says he enjoys hearing all of the different interpretations of the gasp, he specifically debunks the one that suggests that it is LMM himself, not Hamilton, who leads Eliza to the top of the stage. He says that theory breaks down when other actors started playing the role of Hamilton.
@@jlharris5205 yes, he said that in a online interview, that’s what i said it has many meanings. Personally and most of the people i know that have watched Hamilton say it’s the theory they like the most that’s why I wrote the comment.
@@ghost.i yes! but that’s my favorite theory
Jonathan Groff (King George) is known as a spitter when he sings. He has said in interviews that it doesn't bother him. There are a few people that do this but usually it isn't noticed cause in theater you're not THAT close. King George only has 10ish minutes in the total show but is by far one of the best characters haha
You guys ROCK 😅

Andromeda Lasso dude on the left ain’t seen it
Thanks though we appreciate it we feed off each other’s energy! Our friendship vibe crazy
Well me too. But I believe is their first time watching on Disney plus with the original cast . Which not a lot people have seen. The sound track available is different in some details than the live show. To see them acting is very different.
@@marianasousa2219 agreed one notable difference is at the end of dear theodosia Jon Lauren’s note “Tomorrow there will be more of USSSS” is missing from the soundtrack.
J’Nahshon I’ve watched more then five times on Disney plus and when you go back to the sounds u see some differences. And to see they acting to the sounds is amazing! King George’s songs are one of my favorite to watch bc of the acting. He is amazing and his songs have different input than the soundtrack. Of course the end with Elisa is the best!!!!! You guys have all the love and support from Brazil!!! Of you want some tips on what to react from Brazil LMK!
"We did the planting " that sent me 💀💀
In the Burr and Hamilton duel, Burr didn’t “wait for it” and Hamilton threw away his shot :)
Check out the cast of Hamilton singing Helpless with Jimmy Fallon and the Roots.
It's AMAZING!!
When Eliza says the line “In clearing your name, you have ruined //our// lives” in Burn, she isn’t talking about herself and Alexander, she’s talking about her and Maria Reynolds.
Eliza never once puts blame on Maria and seems to understand that her husband was forcing her to do it, and that this would RUIN her. Maria Reynolds was NOBODY, there’s no way for her to defend herself or speak her side of the story.
At least Eliza can recover from the shame and pain, she’s independently rich. Maria isn’t, she’s done.
To the entire population she’s just a loose whore who isn’t worth anything, and it’s Alexander and her husband’s fault she’s in that situation.
It says a lot about how kind and selfless a person her character truly is.
In 1804, Burr was running for governor of New York. Hamilton had privately voiced his criticism of Burr in a letter to his friend which was leaked. In the end Burr lost the election and blamed Hamilton for what he considered to be slander and demanded Hamilton apologize. When this was refused, Burr challenged him to a duel. Now dueling was in fact illegal but since they were affairs of honor, they were rarely ever prosecuted (also because as the play says "Most disputes end and no one shoots"). The duel between the two men took place in Weehawken, NJ on the morning of July 11, 1804. In a letter to his wife, Hamilton actually wrote the line "to the best of wives and best of women..." When they had marked out the paces, Burr noticed Hamilton fiddling with his gun and examining the ground. Hamilton then looked up and said to Burr "Forgive me sir for delaying you" and then proceeded to put on his spectacles. Burr took this to mean that Hamilton intended on shooting him. In reality, Hamilton had confided in his second that day that he would satisfy his principles on dueling (he was against the practice of taking a life) and his public honor by firing into the air. There was no way for Burr to know this. Both men fired so closely together that the seconds argued who actually fired first. Hamilton's shot went into the air; Burr's pierced Hamilton's side and lodged into his liver. He died the next day at the age of 47 or 49 (his exact birthday is unknown; some accounts say 1755 and others 1757). Burr was charged with murder though he was never prosecuted.
Thank you for giving Emmy winner Jasmine Cephas Jones (Mariah/Peggy) the CREDITTT that she DESERVES
And Jasmine's dad Ron Cephas Jones is a two time Emmy winner for This is Us.
Icarus ignored his father's instructions not to fly too close to the sun; when the wax in his wings melted he tumbled out of the sky and fell into the sea where he drowned, sparking the idiom "don't fly too close to the sun". This tragic theme of failure at the hands of hubris contains similarities to that of Phaethon.
Eliza make me tear up twice every time; when her son dies and at the end. Every. Single. Time.
"I was lip synching & still couldn't hold the note."
Yes. I feel that.
Sincere thanks, y'all. It was delightful watching Hamilton through fresh eyes. To me, this is a gift from what-or-whomever. A stunningly well written, staged, choreographed, lighted, cast, etc to infinity. It is delightful - even healing - watching y'all react to the beauty.
So two little facts I have found out after watching the musical 1) when Eliza was running in to see Philip before he died she was dressed in all black and it was because she had just come back from Peggy’s (her younger Sisters) funeral She had died the same year Philip died but different months and I thought it was very sad because she was young (42 when she was already married I believe and then died) and then Eliza got news that her son was dying after. 2) When Eliza says “I live another 50 years” she lived a long time and in that time spent it by trying to piece together everything of Alexander, the soldiers he fought by Washington, Her sisters, everyone she spent all that time telling their stories doing stuff like raising funds for the Washington monument and establishing the first private orphanage and within that time span she started becoming Purblind and almost Deaf.
Love that the 2 on the right know the whole Cabinet Battle. 🥰
Jk. They know the whole thing. 😂 "That girl is poison!"
Yes, YES Stan Pippa Soo. It's the only option.
39:35 Icarus is a greek mithology tale, its about an inventor and his son (icarus) who are trying to scape a prison of a tour ( they were inprisoned by no fair reason), the dad takes the feathers of the birds of the tower and wax from the candles and makes 2 pairs of wings, he warns Icarus to not fly to down becuse the water splashing from the sea would tear the wings apart and not to fly to high becuse the sun would melt the wax, the wings worked but Icarus loved the feeling of flying so he got higher, he couldnt hear his fathers warnings and he flew to close to the sun.
Thank you it just sounds bad 😂
“🗣YALL WAS 40!” 😭😭😂😂😂😂😂
And now you have to react to the Adams Administration cut song 💀
I legit cry everytime I see Phillip die because Lin and Phillipa make it look so r e a l. I really feel like I’m watching my own son die because I’m feeling like I’m being put into Elizas shoes. It’s Quiet Uptown is also a very sad song.
It’s a genuine joy to watch a fan experience this. Moving to every beat, you’re all of us ☺️
Your reactions are so pure lol.
Ok so if no one else has explained it yet, the story of Icarus and his father, Daedalus, is that they were trapped on an island by a king who kept Daedalus there because he was a great inventor. Daedalus made a plan to escape with Icarus by creating wings for them both using feathers fastened together by wax. The two flew away and Daedalus asked his son to be careful and not fly too high or too low. Icarus, just a kid and enjoying the freedom and ability to show off, flew up too close to the sun, resulting in the wax melting and feathers falling off. He couldn’t stay up in the air anymore and ended up falling into the ocean and drowning. So Hamilton flying too close to the sun was Angelica’s fear that Hamilton wanted fame, money, and success so badly that he might ruin himself for it. There is a real letter from Angelica to Eliza Hamilton making this reference.
Imagine being called an icarus lord Jesus he really messed that up didn’t he. He should have just went on vacation
And yeah Icarus is a Greek(?) myth where, long story short, a human boy named Icarus got some mechanical wings that made him fly. Out of arrogance he went way too high and flew straight into the Sun and died. (CORRECTION IN THE REPLIES!)
So when people say “they are an Icarus”, it means they’re so cocky that they’ll die (or hurt others) because of their ego.
So Angelica told Eliza that Alexander is an Icarus because he hurt Eliza and their son just to save his own reputation.
Almost, the story of Icarus was from Greek mythology and the boy (Icarus) and his father made wings out of feathers and wax to escape from somewhere (I can't remember where) and Icarus flew too close to the sun and the wax melted and he fell to his death
Bekka Cheetham Ohh I thought he flew into the Sun, thanks for correcting me :D
Bekka Cheetham To escape the Labyrinth I believe :D
No, his wings were made of wax and they melted because he flew too close to the sun. “You’ve married an Icarus and he has flown too close to the sun.” It’s a story meant to convey that being too greedy will be your downfall. Icarus was given the gift of flight, but he couldn’t be SATISFIED, and just had to go higher and higher until his wings melted.
Ro Ems Being insatiable/too greedy/cocky is all about ego so I think my explanation still applies
I really enjoyed seeing you guys watching Hamilton. 😊 I would get on folks nerves singing along. I watched it countless times. And the soundtrack, forget about it. Driving home to Jersey from VA, I listened twice back to back going up and coming back. Exactly times door to door. I can even say Lafayette's rap at speed. Lol. Anyway, you guys lifted me out of some doldrums. Oh, and I'm sure someone has told you who Icarus was by now. ✌🏾
Say No To This is just a straight up cut. Periodt.
What Hamilton *should* have done:
"But she caught me on the counter (It wasn't me)
Saw me bangin' on the sofa (It wasn't me)
I even had her in the shower (It wasn't me)
She even caught me on camera (It wasn't me)"
You should react to Hamilton at the White House, espciecially One Last Time. It was as Obama was leaving office, so you see the cast of Hamilton and the people in the front row get emotional.
And the original, before the rest of the show was written (when it was still conceived as a mix tape), at the very first White House Poetry Jam, he performed the first song in a draft version. Watching the two back to back, at the beginning and end of Obama's time at the White House, is astounding.
That was so sad and so beautiful! It brought me to tears!
That was amazing!
Well thanks for this comment now I’ll be crying every time I hear this song 😭😭
The whole White connection moved me.
"Why Aaron Burr always in the trenches somewhere!"
"Like get in the mix!"
Exactly, that's the whole point lmao
FINALLYYYYYYYYY
I couldn't Wait For It anymore!
I'm willing to wait for it.
Please never apologize for singing along! The joy and energy is soooo positive
Y’all should react to 21 chump street with Anthony Ramos and Lin-Manuel Miranda
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed watching y'all enjoy this show. I was cracking up at 28:50, so hilarious & so true. Chris Jackson is a national treasure. Great reaction vid thanks so much! :-)
Leslie Odomjr voice is smooth like butter and Daveed was just having to much damn fun. 😂🤣
Yall should hear Leslie Odom Jr. Go Crazy!

It’s a quote from a movie😂
Just found this and yes, us Peggy need love too hahahhahahahahahah I get to see it live this month. It’s amazing and your reactions are great!
You all should react to clipping chapter 319, that's the rap group Daveed Diggs is in
Edit: also, his cadence in "get up" is also ridiculous!
Icarus is the son of Daedelus (a great inventor). In ancient Greek mythology they were imprisoned by a king in a tower. Daedelus fashions a set of wings to escape for him & Icarus. Before they fly from the tower his father warned him not to fly too close to the sun as the wax holding the feathers on the wings would melt. But once in flight he became careless, taken with the risk taking of daredevils...he flew high and the sun melted the wings and he tumbled to his death. An Icarus is a risk taker who eventually falls hard.
Flying to the sun and dying. Risk taker sounds like an understatement😂
Alexander: he talk bad about you
Washington: let it go i dont care
Alexanders's son: he talk bad about you
Alexander: grab the gun
"Hamilton was simping for Maria Reynolds" is the most accurate, unspoken truth I've ever heard.
26:02 dude in the middle is seriously me every time I listen to any song from Hamilton, ESPECIALLY when someone else is watching it with me 🤣💀
I love that two of these guys have seen this as many times as I have; when they start bopping at the beginning of Say No to This it was fantastic,
Oh I forgot to say that Burr’s daughter also died young which makes that song even sadder. They both had such high hopes for their children 😢
They are true to the game😍😍😍
So because you were confused, Eliza called Hamilton an Icarus and claimed he flew too close to the sun. This refferences an old legend about a boy, Icarus and his father (both brilliant)who escaped captivity by making wings out of wax and metal. Icarus wanted to see how high up he could get with the wings even after his father warned him not to. Icarus ignored the warning and flew so high, the wax melted from the heat of the sun and he fell to his death. So the line bassicaly means that despite the warnings he was given, hamilton got carried away with his success and fell from grace for pushing too far.
Your lip-syncing George Washington should win an award
I wish I could disagree
You did that😍😍😍
If you guys are into musicals y’all should watch Newsies next!!! There are 2 versions, the original movie and the newer stage play. Both are good and on Disney+ but I recommend the stage play to see some INSANE dancing skills and a similarish vibe to Hamilton. Love your reactions!!
