At today's final #Ham4Ham Rory O'Malley brought Renée Elise Goldsberry with Alex Lacamoire and the band to perform "Congratulations," a song from #HamiltonPUBLIC that was cut before Broadway!
1. I almost cried bc Renee's leaving 2. FUCK THAT WAS SOOOO GOOD HER VOCALS ARE INCREDIBLE 3. I CANT BELIEVE HAM4HAM IS ENDING AND I NEVER GOT TO SEE IT LIIIIIVEEEEE😭😭
WHY WAS THIS NOT KEPT IN THE SHOW????? I mean I bet there were really good reasons, but wow..... I bet people would see a 5-hour version of Hamilton if it existed.
I think it just made more sense for Angelica's reaction to be shorter and placed into the Reynolds Pamphlet along with everyone else's. So we could focus on Burn, because that's the most important part of this little arc.
Even though it is such an amazing song (honestly one of my favourites) Lin said it was cut because the audience was eager to her Eliza's reaction and it took them too long to get there with Congratulations. But, yeah, I agree, I would love to see a version of the full show with all of the cut songs!
I definitley think there are some important aspects about Angelica addressed in the song - especially how she literally tells Alex how much she sacrificed to make her sister happy
hold on, i feel like a failure for not knowing, but where can i listen to this and memorize the lyrics??? bc it really did blow us all away and i won't be satisfied until i can listen to it on repeat ;) please and thanks
after the reynolds pamphlet lin decided the audience would want to get right to eliza, seeing as she would be the one most affected. Also the reynolds pamphlet is basically just a lead up for burn, so it makes a better transition than this would have.
Rory's face while the audience is screaming at the mention of "Congratulations" is like "How do you guys know about this song?" And I'm over here like, "UA-cam, buddy. 😂😂"
I really love the line the last line "For the rest of your life every sacrifice you make is for my sister give her the best life." I JUST LOVE HOW MUCH SHE LOVES ELIZA Of course her ability to destroy Ham in a matter of seconds is also pretty satisfying.
This should so be on the new mixtape as like a bonus track, I would LOVE that. It was obviously just cut for time which I can understand , but it would be nice to listen to frequently.
the reason he cut it (he either said it in an interview or the hamiltome i dont remember) was because he figured the audience would be impatient to see eliza's reaction to the reynolds pamphlet. this was originally just before burn, but there is a recorded copy you can find on soundcloud or on youtube! it's from the workshop and it's actually really good quality
+hena1937 the extended schuyler defeated is so good i love it :") i also highly reccomend listening to "ten things, one thing" which is the original version of the world was wide enough and it'll mess you UP
The moment the crowd is singing with Renée the moment everybody knows. The feels. Renée is the queen of Cinnamon Roll kingdom and Lin is the Prince. I love this so much.
I just came home from school and I DON'T NEED THIS 😭💔 I am so thankful to Lin and Rory for hosting Ham4Ham, as well as all the guests. They always make it so special for us. I cannot wait to see the tradition carry on in Chicago 💕
“Eliza, is the best in our lives, so never lose sight of the fact that you have been blessed with the best wife.” May be one of my favourite lines ever written and the way it was delivered, sweet Jesus.
OMGGG ME TOO.... AN OPEN LETTER TO THE ARROGANT ANTICHARISMATIC NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT KNOWN AS PRESIDENT JOHN ADAMS SHIIIIIT THE MANS IRRATIONAL HE CLAIMS THAT IM IN LEAGUE WITH BRITAIN IN SOME VAST INTERNATIONAL INTRIGUE BITCH PLEASE! U WOULDNT KNOW WHAT IM DOIN UR ALWAYS GOIN BERSERK U NEVER SHOW UP TO WORK GIVE MY REGARDS TO ABIGAIL NEXT TIME U WRITE ABOUT MY LACK OF MORAL COMPASS AT LEAST I DO MY JOB UP IN THE RUMPUS (hehe continue if u please)
I'm really upset that this didn't make it in the show because it would be my favorite. And I'm so upset that I'll never be able see ham4ham... Happy trails Renée
This was a song I REALLY wish had stayed in its entirety. It’s one of my fav’s on the mixtapes (immigrants get the job done is my other fav). Renée Elise Goldsberry is beyond talented. I saw her perform as Mimi in Rent & had been blown away by her vocals. The creators & the entire cast of Hamilton are amazing. Thank you all for the amazing gift you have given us! (Applause, Applause... There's wondrous applause, thunderous applause. Beautiful, soaring, magnificent, roaring...)
I'm not crying, you are... Hamilton was always destined to be big, from the first moment that Lin and Alex performed in the White House, but I'm still amazed. Look at where we are, look at where we started. The fact that Hamilton is where it is now is definitely not a miracle, but an inevitable.❤︎
I stared crying when it was 1 second into it. I love this song so much. I'm gonna miss the notification for Ham4Hams every single Wednesday!! 💙 good luck with the lotto
Lol, part of me wonders if Lin requesting this for the last show was to drag us, but I'm just happy to see it performed. It's my favorite from the cuts I've heard.
THAT WAS SAVAGE! (*insert Reynolds Pamphlet DAMN)...and now I go cry into my $10 bills. Thank you for all the #Ham4Ham performances! Such a wonderful gift to the fans.
So, there's this amazing musical director who is hosting a musical theatre school I'm going to next year. I went on his instagram and he had a photo with Alex Lacamoire?! And the caption was 'Thanks to Hamilton Director for taking the photo.' I cried.
Yeeeeeeeeessssssssss, I loved this sassy song for so long, so glad it was performed last, not to mention by my favourite cast member. I sang along with you, and will continue to for years to come 💖💖💖!!! THANK YOU HAMILTON FOR THIS AMAZING INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE 💘💘💘!!!
I screamed so many times through this I can't handle these emotions someone help me and THIS IS MY FAVORITE THING IN THE WORLD GOOD GOD IM SO EMOTIONAL
Goodbye, our dearest, Angelica.
You're making me cry!!! 😢❤️
Yes, thank you for using the comma. Appropriate.
You're welcome. 😀
bless this comment
One stroke and you've consumed our waking days
When the crowd starts singing along.. CHILLS.

AND JUST LIKE THAT IT'S OVER, WE TEND TO OUR WOUNDED, WE COUNT OUR DEAD
Dead from fangirling
WE WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED
Best comment. Literally tended to my wounded heart even though it that knew it would never see any of the original cast 😂😂😂
Well then, looks like your counting me. (I'm dead)
Black and white soldiers alike wonder if this really means freedom.
I AM EMOTIONAL 😭
SAME
so am I😭
NOOO
Sameeeeeeeeeeee
Me too Jona, me too
1. I almost cried bc Renee's leaving
2. FUCK THAT WAS SOOOO GOOD HER VOCALS ARE INCREDIBLE
3. I CANT BELIEVE HAM4HAM IS ENDING AND I NEVER GOT TO SEE IT LIIIIIVEEEEE😭😭
Yes.🙁😭
RENEE'S LEAVING?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!???!!!
i did cry.
+Mulky Ghedi *screams*
Shani Ofir II
1. NEVER GOT TO SEE HAMILTON
2. NEVER GOT TO SEE HAM4HAM
3. neVER GOT TO GO TO NYC
4. WHY MUST I LIVE IN SCOTLAND
I live right in Long Island and I never got to see a ham4ham or see Hamilton either so TRUST me i feel your pain 😭😂😂😂😂😂😂
It might be a bit of an inconvenience getting there but Hamilton is coming to the West End next year, you could see it then? I know I really want to
But when you live in ASIA :') No chance.
PixxelCatt Venezuela:(
WHY MUST I BE A POOR CALIFORNIAN!! 😭😭😭😭
WHY WAS THIS NOT KEPT IN THE SHOW????? I mean I bet there were really good reasons, but wow..... I bet people would see a 5-hour version of Hamilton if it existed.

But, yeah, I agree, I would love to see a version of the full show with all of the cut songs!
+clairelundin but i think it still would have sounded nice after burn its like angelica screaming at hamilton for hurting eliza hAHAH
I definitley think there are some important aspects about Angelica addressed in the song - especially how she literally tells Alex how much she sacrificed to make her sister happy
Her vocals are lit and all, but when she quiets the crowd with one finger... chills.
Am I the only one who was singing along the whole time because I'm such hamiltrash I already knew the whole thing?
I sang the whole thing in my head cause I wanted to hear Renee
ME
NOPE
Jenna Foley ah clever, I don't have that much self control
hold on, i feel like a failure for not knowing, but where can i listen to this and memorize the lyrics??? bc it really did blow us all away and i won't be satisfied until i can listen to it on repeat ;) please and thanks
I GOT GOOSEBUMPS WHEN SHE SAY ELIZA I'M CRYING STOP
*SANG
Jenna Foley I read this before that part, and then I got there and I also got chills
WHEN DOES SHE SING THIS I CANT HEAR IT
@@lexiebaynes 6:00 ,just a few seconds before 🥺😁
I assume this was cut to shorten the show some but holy crap, I wish that was kept in. That was ridiculously powerful.
He cut it out because he didn't think it went with the song themes
He cut it because it was historically inaccurate
after the reynolds pamphlet lin decided the audience would want to get right to eliza, seeing as she would be the one most affected. Also the reynolds pamphlet is basically just a lead up for burn, so it makes a better transition than this would have.
+Soprano wait where did he say this?
But it would've made the show even better than it already is like holy crap.
This joke fits the situation :
What are we having for dinner?
Angelica : Roasted Ham
this was copied
Rory's face while the audience is screaming at the mention of "Congratulations" is like "How do you guys know about this song?" And I'm over here like, "UA-cam, buddy. 😂😂"
I really love the line the last line "For the rest of your life every sacrifice you make is for my sister give her the best life." I JUST LOVE HOW MUCH SHE LOVES ELIZA
Of course her ability to destroy Ham in a matter of seconds is also pretty satisfying.
I'm satisfied.
+TokyoBlue I will never be satisfied
Especially cause I didn't got to see Ham4Ham
I'm crying, but also screaming because they are preforming Congratulations
Update: I'm sobbing
EXACTLY
SAMMMEEE
ME!!!!!!
Go to Soundcloud, search "Hamilton Workshop" there are some cut songs & earlier versions of songs.
i haven't even watched the video yet and i'm crying
update: im flooded.
+skiewho me same
Same
This should so be on the new mixtape as like a bonus track, I would LOVE that. It was obviously just cut for time which I can understand
, but it would be nice to listen to frequently.
the reason he cut it (he either said it in an interview or the hamiltome i dont remember) was because he figured the audience would be impatient to see eliza's reaction to the reynolds pamphlet. this was originally just before burn, but there is a recorded copy you can find on soundcloud or on youtube! it's from the workshop and it's actually really good quality
You can find it on soundclous just fyi
Okay I just listened to it and the extended Schyler defeated. Thank you so much!
+hena1937 the extended schuyler defeated is so good i love it :") i also highly reccomend listening to "ten things, one thing" which is the original version of the world was wide enough and it'll mess you UP
+hena1937 whatever you do don't listen to Laurens interlude in less you are ready to cry
They should put all of the cut songs on a new album/mixtape as bonus songs
I'm pretty sure all of the cut songs will be included on the Hamilton Mixtape when its released!
I hope so!
THAT WAS AMAZING
CHRISTINE!!!!
Yay Christine! and yeah that was breathtaking.
yes it was, should've seen my face when she started that first line, shook
I hear wailing in the streets...
TRU AND THAT WAS ME
there are screams and church bells ringing
(wrong song ik but it makes sense?? i think?)
Sharon Rose lol... I wish that i could say it was me but I don't live in, or near, New York. ☹️☹️☹️
I see Angelica and Eliza were both by his side when he died
somebody tells me you’d better hide...
The moment the crowd is singing with Renée the moment everybody knows. The feels.
Renée is the queen of Cinnamon Roll kingdom and Lin is the Prince. I love this so much.
Lin there you are an ocean away but still managed to make me a crying mess by making my dearest, Angelica sing "Congratulations" 😭😭😭
Can we take a moment to acknowledge Renee's brilliance?
Even though it was cut, this is definitely one of my favorite hamilton songs! I'd say top three even!
Renée is just so good!
Obviously Renee is just fantastic, but I'm also seriously loving the instrumentals of this too.
RENEE MY QUEEN. My Dearest, Angelica. THIS IS HER LAST PERFORMANCE AND THE LAST HAM4HAM. I feel a certain type of way about this. ITS QUIET UPTOWN
Rory's smile when Renee is singing is my favorite
I just came home from school and I DON'T NEED THIS 😭💔
I am so thankful to Lin and Rory for hosting Ham4Ham, as well as all the guests. They always make it so special for us. I cannot wait to see the tradition carry on in Chicago 💕
By The Way, if there was any way to end Ham4Ham this was it. I am so proud of you all 😘❤
I'm freaking sobbing now. Renee is leaving, ham4ham's are ending. I'm a mess, I look pathetic . Ughhhhhh. Why!?!
that sly reference though 😏
Thx. Even when I'm sad, I still can't pass up a reference.
How could they do this?
***** I don't know!!!
At least Ham4Ham is continuing in Chicago
We're going through the unimaginable...
I just love Renee's vocals. They are so powerful o my goodness
“Eliza, is the best in our lives, so never lose sight of the fact that you have been blessed with the best wife.” May be one of my favourite lines ever written and the way it was delivered, sweet Jesus.
Renee....my favorite singer and actor...leaving😭😢farewell....
I HEAR WAILING IN THE STREETS
The best possible Ham4Ham to end it.
DUDE BUT THIS WAS MY FAVORITE SONG AND FOR THE LONGEST TIME I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS CUT OFF AND ITS SO GOOD LIVE
Dude on the violin was really rockin out towards the end lol
Rory being surprised that the fans know the song by its title. Get on my level, son: I know all the lyrics. And I still cried.
I'm shook
Shook?
+ParisWithAMustache yea
AND THIS THE REASON WHY I LOVE RENÉE SO MUCH AND WHY ANGELICA IS MY FAVORITE SCHUYLER SISTER!
I love this song
Pride is not the word I'm looking for. There is so much more inside me now 😭
I JUST WANNA CRAWL IN A HOLE AND NEVER COME OUT
When the crowd started singing along, I just shattered. I think Renee just taught us how to say goodbye.
So sad this is the last #Ham4Ham but what a way to end it!
IS IT WEIRD THAT I ALREADY KNEW ALL THE WORDS TO CONGRATULATIONS....
no, so did i :)
Welcome to Hamilton fangirling XD
same, and the John Adams rap :)
OMGGG ME TOO.... AN OPEN LETTER TO THE ARROGANT ANTICHARISMATIC NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT KNOWN AS PRESIDENT JOHN ADAMS SHIIIIIT THE MANS IRRATIONAL HE CLAIMS THAT IM IN LEAGUE WITH BRITAIN IN SOME VAST INTERNATIONAL INTRIGUE BITCH PLEASE! U WOULDNT KNOW WHAT IM DOIN UR ALWAYS GOIN BERSERK U NEVER SHOW UP TO WORK GIVE MY REGARDS TO ABIGAIL NEXT TIME U WRITE ABOUT MY LACK OF MORAL COMPASS AT LEAST I DO MY JOB UP IN THE RUMPUS (hehe continue if u please)

I'm really upset that this didn't make it in the show because it would be my favorite. And I'm so upset that I'll never be able see ham4ham... Happy trails Renée
This was a song I REALLY wish had stayed in its entirety. It’s one of my fav’s on the mixtapes (immigrants get the job done is my other fav). Renée Elise Goldsberry is beyond talented. I saw her perform as Mimi in Rent & had been blown away by her vocals. The creators & the entire cast of Hamilton are amazing. Thank you all for the amazing gift you have given us! (Applause, Applause... There's wondrous applause, thunderous applause. Beautiful, soaring, magnificent, roaring...)
I can understand why this was cut, but, my God, that's an amazing song.
You could really tell they were having fun! That makes the performance even better!
This song is so amazing and Renées voice is so incredible and the freaking band was killing it!!!!!!!
I WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED
IM SO HAPPY THIS SONG IS GONNA GET NOTICED MORE ITS A WORK OF ART
I'm not crying, you are...
Hamilton was always destined to be big, from the first moment that Lin and Alex performed in the White House, but I'm still amazed.
Look at where we are, look at where we started. The fact that Hamilton is where it is now is definitely not a miracle, but an inevitable.❤︎
The violin guy's facial expressions are priceless.
I wish every single person in the cast could have an award cause man alive, they are amazing
I got chills watching this. Renée SLAYS!!
ive watched this at least 20 times today and every time I smile at how she gestures at the crowd to sing the part from the Reynolds pamphlet
Me: *looks at video title* LOOK AROUND LOOK AROUND AT HOW LUCKY WE ARE TO BE ALIVE RIGHT NOW
I was so incredibly blessed to have been able to have seen Hamilton with Renée as Angelica - that said, I still would have killed to see this Ham4Ham.
DAMN! I wish that I could have that as like a bonus track on the album. That was so fucking good!
Rory from 5:40-6:12 lol The adorableness is real.
Just bring back the Ham4Hams...
That would be enough.
I WILL NEVER BE SATISFIEED
I keep coming back to this. Wish there was another recorded version to listen too
I stared crying when it was 1 second into it. I love this song so much. I'm gonna miss the notification for Ham4Hams every single Wednesday!! 💙 good luck with the lotto
Omfg crying at her beautiful vocals and the supportive crowd that I wish I was part of 😣😭
I Heard That Song Before She Sang It And It Makes Me Cry Super Duper Hard Every Time
CONGRATULATIONS GIVES ME THE CHILLEST OF CHILLS 😁😁
I'm so glad they did this. It's such a slaying song and now there's a version that everyone can hear. Happy trails Renee
Of course I was in New York and at Ham4Ham LAST WEEK. :-((((( This one was perfection. The best of Ham and the best of Broadway.
Lol, part of me wonders if Lin requesting this for the last show was to drag us, but I'm just happy to see it performed. It's my favorite from the cuts I've heard.
So thankful for ham4ham for existing! I'm from Pennsylvania so I've only seen 1 live but it goes down as some of the best 5 minutes of my life!!
I keep watching this... Every time the crowd singing along just gets me right in the feels
Thank you for all the #Ham4Hams and especially this amazing performance!👍😘👏🍾
I love Renée so much, her voice is magic.
I am SOBBING. This was everything I could have asked for in a final ham4ham
Okay, but everything about this performance was brilliant... Renée obvs, Rory, Alex, the band, the crowd, EVERYTHINGG
I love this song so much, you guys killed it! I really wish it wasn't cut, but I get why it was. Thank you for performing it!!
THIS IS A PERFECT WAY TO END SUCH AN AMAZING THING THANK YOU RORY AND RENEE AND ALEX AND GAHH EVERYONE
I audibly gasped when I read the description
THAT WAS SAVAGE! (*insert Reynolds Pamphlet DAMN)...and now I go cry into my $10 bills. Thank you for all the #Ham4Ham performances! Such a wonderful gift to the fans.
I get chills every time I hear this song
I get chills every time I listen to this
So, there's this amazing musical director who is hosting a musical theatre school I'm going to next year. I went on his instagram and he had a photo with Alex Lacamoire?! And the caption was 'Thanks to Hamilton Director for taking the photo.' I cried.
