romeo the loyalty people of the theatre have is really amazing. most are super kind save from a few bad apples. it's because of the bond and the respect people have for the performers.
fun fact though she was already married when she met hamilton and she wasn't forced to marry him... she eloped with him (against her father's approval)! try also searching up angelica and jefferson's letters to each other. they'll probably catch your attention ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
After the Reynolds pamphlet Angelica: u ok eliza Eliza: Angelica: I made dinner Eliza: what is it Angelica: roasted ham Alexander: Angelica: (stares at Alex angrily)
Alexander: It was an act of political sacrifice Angelica: Sacrifice? Alexander:.....Shit Angelica: I'm about to end this mans whole career Also ua-cam.com/video/7EYoA2_jvLc/v-deo.html I did a hamilton Mashup if anyone is interested
So, I was laying down right? And I laughed.. ok, you following me? After that, I could’ve sworn my sleep paralysis demon squirted a spray bottle of bleach cause I heard something
Makes me sad to know that we will never see Hamilton with the original cast... especially Renee Elise goldsberry. But hearing her sing this song makes me wish this song was still in the show
Aviator 123 they filmed the original cast performing it. They haven't announced any plans to release it yet, but I guess we just have to be like Burr and Wait For It.
"and we said yes because we always say yes to him." Rory's face when Renee announces she's singing Congratulations 🙌🏽 "I begged you to take a break, you refused to" is ALL OF US so fab. The passion at the end of this is AMAZING. I love this.
Renée is just roasting Rory, and at one point Renée gets the whole audience to sing along right? well for some reason Rory, the guy who is being roasted, sings along.

I'm so mad it's not her in the Hamilton mixtape. The girl singing in her place is good, but she doesn't have the same professional sound and lacks the grit in the line "blessed with the best wife," which was crucial to the emotion Renée demonstrates.
Emmy Ma Bruh. I already know that. It was just bothering me because the mixtape version is the only one on Spotify, which is more convenient for me. I've actually grown used to the mixtape version though and enjoy it.
I'm never going to get to see the original cast live, and now they're stopping the live Ham4ham shows. :( I loved this one though. It made me so happy hearing people sing along to Congratulations.
even if you can't see the original cast, I saw the show right after Lin and the rest left and the new ones are absolutely AMAZINGLY and just as talented!
Why did they have to cut this song out it’s so good it shows how much siblings really love each other well in those days edit omg I have 68 likes most likes ever
There is a concept in writing that you have to "Kill your darlings." It means that, no matter how intrinsically good an individual phrase, song, chapter, character or idea is or HOW HARD YOU WORKED ON IT, if it doesn't integrate into the whole or impedes the flow, it has to go. This is a very clever song but it impedes the emotional flow from Alexander's choice in "Eye of a Hurricane" to Eliza's reaction in "Burn." The same goes for the whole "Sit DOWN John!" rap and the characters of John Adams and Ben Franklin. Other examples: In "Aladdin" the song "Proud of Your Boy" and the character of Aladdin's mother, in the "Lord of the Rings" movies, the Death of Sauron and the Scouring of the Shire. Other examples from "Hamilton," Lin set up the whole "Not gonna throw away my shot!" from the beginning of the first act, but when he finally got to the moment of the duel, he cut the line "Now I HAVE to throw away my shot," because, let's face it, it was hackneyed and obvious. He instead plunged into the intensity of Hamilton's racing mind in his last moments. The result is brilliant.

Breaks my heart this is ending. Ham4Ham was just one of the things that set Hamilton apart from all the other Broadway plays. SO very special. Thank you for it! it has been wonderful. Putting it on UA-cam has made it possible for all of us who couldn't possibly get to New York feel like we were part of Ham-nation!
+cococadeaux I can only guess that since Lin and about 85% of the original cast is gone the rest are not interested in continuing. That's at best just a guess. I was as shocked as you when I saw it on Facebook.
+cococadeaux rumor I heard was that a nearby hotel kept complaining that people couldn't get to them plus NY police were tired of basically monitoring and sectioning off a giant block party so often. Digital ham4ham is supposed to come back later tho.
Hannah Rose a part did of Congratulations did appear in the play during the Reynolds Pamphlet but the rest of it was scrapped by Lin for the audience wanted to see Eliza's much faster

I love the song, and anything Renee, but i can see why it was cut. It kinda competes with "Burn" for viewers' attention as the high emotional point in the aftermath of The Affair. And you can not cut "Burn". "Congratulations" does nothing for the rest of the story by itself. And as much as i love a good roasting, "Burn" does that job quite sufficiently and more subtly. Again, i love the song, but if you are creating a masterpiece, don't think, what you can add to it, think, what you can cut from it.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! This made me so happy. I straight up fangirled (consisting of everything from arm-flailing, screaming, laughter to tears) for like 6 and a half minutes until she asked us to sing along. Then I was sitting here in my room shouting at my screen. This is the best thing ever. I'm so sad she's leaving the show. I don't know why I see all the Hamilton stuff 1 week late, but it doesn't matter. My life is now complete.
MasonMinePlayz Miranda explained that he wanted the focus to be on Eliza’s - not Angelica’s - response to Hamilton’s betrayal. I think he was right, but this is an awesome song!
Fascinating to hear this number. Renee extraordinary as always, and it's a good song...but Lin was absolutely right to cut this. It overstates what is made so clear with just the brief exchange that remains in the show. It also sounds out of character for her to call Alexander stupid (even though it echoes "Aaron Burr, Sir" ). It reiterates information we already have. And it would have broken up the incredible momentum of "The Reynolds Pamphlet" which is so needed at this point in the show. I love getting this glimpse into the process. I love that Lin has such a perceptive eye for what shouldn't be kept as well as what should. All writers know that half your stuff goes into the trash can. Even if it sounds pretty good, it might not be good for the project. Maybe a life somewhere else, maybe it just served its purpose by being part of the thought process. Good to honor that knowledge. Thanks, Lin, for sharing this with us and for bringing Ham4Ham to life. Thanks, Rory, for picking up the ball with grace.And thanks again to Howard Sherman for faithfully recording it. It's been a real joy to watch, right up to the end (for now).
Beg to disagree, I think he should have kept the song in mainly as it is one of the few times we get to see Angelica's point of view in the show and it's the last time in the show she really 'speaks for herself' as it were instead of speaking on behalf of the chorus (as she does in 'it's quiet uptown' and the finale. Also it provides needed insight into what's actually been going on in Angelica's life since the war ended. This, the Dear Theodosia reprise, and the extended Schuyler defeated should have all been kept in, in my opinion.
Martha Southgate I do understand why he chose to cut it, but I hope that when the show is inevitably adapted for TV he reworks things a little bit to put it back in.
Martha Southgate I respect your opinion but i think this song would have added an extra spice to the second act. Parts of this song were only added to the last version of the Reynolds Pamphlet after he decided to cut this song i'm pretty sure. I think Angelica showing up to roast Alexander and show her love for her sister would have been awesome in the show. I do see where you are coming from though.
this so much! i am so bitter lin-manuel miranda had someone else sing it on the mixtape. we need a professional recording of renee singing it in its original (and much much better) form.
Shlambobbo Shlim Sia is amazing!! But I do want to point out that Sia doesn't sing this on the mixtape. She does a cover of Satisfied with Queen Latifah and Miguel. "Congratulations" is sung by Dessa. :)
Renée : *breathes*
everyone : QUEEN
Yaaaaassss😍

@@nijosvillanueva3267 James actually forced Mariah to get Hamilton, making Hamilton pay because he fucked his ex-wife.

the fact that renee has the power to make people sing along and cut them off in 0.2 seconds scares me
Same lmao like you see big popstars struggle with that and then there's her.
She literally is everything 😂

romeo yes it's that close connection between Hamilton fans and all of the cast ah. Happens with Lin too. The depth is wonderful

Yea!
Peggy is just forgotten about, she even has the least ammount of screen time of anyone in the musical!
Byleth Eisner well, she also died but Jasmine does still get stage time as Maria Reynolds

at that point, she was dead (she died in 1801)

There is a concept in writing that you have to "Kill your darlings." It means that, no matter how intrinsically good an individual phrase, song, chapter, character or idea is or HOW HARD YOU WORKED ON IT, if it doesn't integrate into the whole or impedes the flow, it has to go. This is a very clever song but it impedes the emotional flow from Alexander's choice in "Eye of a Hurricane" to Eliza's reaction in "Burn." The same goes for the whole "Sit DOWN John!" rap and the characters of John Adams and Ben Franklin. Other examples: In "Aladdin" the song "Proud of Your Boy" and the character of Aladdin's mother, in the "Lord of the Rings" movies, the Death of Sauron and the Scouring of the Shire. Other examples from "Hamilton," Lin set up the whole "Not gonna throw away my shot!" from the beginning of the first act, but when he finally got to the moment of the duel, he cut the line "Now I HAVE to throw away my shot," because, let's face it, it was hackneyed and obvious.

You have invented a new kind of stupid
A damage-you-can-never-undo kind of stupid
An open-all-the-cages-in-the-zoo kind of stupid
Truly-you-didn’t-think-this-through kind of stupid

You took a rumor a few,
Maybe two people knew
And refuted it by sharing an affair
Of which no one has accused you
I begged you to take a break, you refused to
So scared of what your enemies will do to you

You know why Jefferson can do what he wants?
He doesn’t dignify schoolyard taunts with a response
So yeah, congratulations

[ANGELICA]
You’ve redefined your legacy
Congratulations
[ALEXANDER HAMILTON]
It was an act of political sacrifice
[ANGELICA]
Sacrifice?
I languished in a loveless marriage in London
I lived only to read your letters
I look at you and think
“God, what have we done with our lives
And what did it get us?”
But that doesn’t wipe the tears or the years away
I’m back in the city and I’m here to stay
And you know what I’m here to do?
[ALEXANDER HAMILTON]
Angelica
[ANGELICA]
I’m not here for you
I know my sister like I know my own mind
You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind
And a million years ago she said to me,
“This one’s mine”
So I stood by
Do you know why?
I love my sister more than anything in this life
I will choose her happiness over mine every time
Eliza
Is the best thing in your life
So never lose sight of the fact
That you have been blessed with the best wife
Congratulations
For the rest of your life
Every sacrifice you make is for my sister
Give her the best life
Congratulations
Thank you

Breaks my heart this is ending. Ham4Ham was just one of the things that set Hamilton apart from all the other Broadway plays. SO very special. Thank you for it! it has been wonderful. Putting it on UA-cam has made it possible for all of us who couldn't possibly get to New York feel like we were part of Ham-nation!
Why is it ending? I hadn't heard anything about it ending, nor have I heard a reason. Do you know? I'm crushed!
+cococadeaux I can only guess that since Lin and about 85% of the original cast is gone the rest are not interested in continuing. That's at best just a guess. I was as shocked as you when I saw it on Facebook.
+cococadeaux rumor I heard was that a nearby hotel kept complaining that people couldn't get to them plus NY police were tired of basically monitoring and sectioning off a giant block party so often. Digital ham4ham is supposed to come back later tho.
+Amanda Logan That may be why he makes a point of thanking the NYPD
Oh... I thought she meant that it was HER last time... not HAM4HAM. huh
Alex: It was an act of political sacrifice
Angelica: SO YOU'VE CHOSEN DEATH
Angelica to Alexander: "Eliza is the best thing in our life"
Everyone else in the world: OURS TOO

This was cut from the musical..? I've seen so many animatics of it that I just assumed it was part of the play, haha.
Hannah Rose a part did of Congratulations did appear in the play during the Reynolds Pamphlet but the rest of it was scrapped by Lin for the audience wanted to see Eliza's much faster
Hannah Rose lol same here
And it ends when she says “put what we had a side, you can never be satisfied, GOD I hope you’re satisfied”
And it starts when she arrives
“I came as soon as I heard, ALL THE WAY FROM LONDON? DAMN!
Hannah Rose Same
My name is my Alexander but I feel bad for what I didn't do
Dean Winchester but ur a FUCKING WINCHESTER
hayden bolcato pls
Oof
beana best comment ever
I love how the crowd was singing with her at 5:38-6:10. It added a whole bunch of more power to the song.
I got so many chills and also I love the Hamilton fandom. To know exactly when to shut up is amazing.
I love how she let the fans sing 🎶SHE IS EVERYTHING AHHH
renee went from smiley to pissed off real quick. she really went into her role :’)))
I KNOW MY SISTER LIKE I KNOW MY OWN MIND YOU WILL NEVER FIND ANYONE AS TRUSTING OR AS KIND AND A MILLION YEARS AGO SHE SAID TO ME THIS ONE'S MINE

Alexander
Congratulations
You have invented a new kind of stupid
A 'damage you can never undo' kind of stupid
An 'open all the cages in the zoo' kind of stupid
'Truly, you didn't think this through?' kind of stupid
Let's review:
You took a rumor a few, maybe two, people knew and refuted it by sharing an affair of which no one has accused you
I begged you to take a break, you refused to
So scared of what your enemies will do to you
You're the only enemy you ever seem to lose to
You know why Jefferson can do what he wants?
He doesn't dignify school-yard taunts with a response!
So yeah, congratulations!

Pause at 6:30. You will not be disappointed.
More like 6:34
insert clever pun here IM DYING
I'm very satisfied rn
Satisfaction has been reached
Not disappointed at all 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm so glad they finally performed this song!!!
The workshop-version has been out for a long time :)
+Blessing Avia there is a video on youtube with cut Hamilton songs and there is also an animation for it
I love how hype Renée is every time she performs live like this
MY QUEEEEEEEEEEN
our dearest angelica.... GOODBYE THE ORIIGNAL CAST OF HAMILTON 2017
With a comma after dearest
Illuminati 121 you’ve written my dearest, angellica
don't worry they're back on july 3rd on disney+
@@waitingrroom YAASSSSS.
when they started singing with her I fangirled so hard my god
I can't believe this was cut from the musical. I call BS.
Agreed
Yeah. I’m also disappointed they got rid of the original Adams Administration.
I love the song, and anything Renee, but i can see why it was cut. It kinda competes with "Burn" for viewers' attention as the high emotional point in the aftermath of The Affair. And you can not cut "Burn". "Congratulations" does nothing for the rest of the story by itself. And as much as i love a good roasting, "Burn" does that job quite sufficiently and more subtly.
Again, i love the song, but if you are creating a masterpiece, don't think, what you can add to it, think, what you can cut from it.
@@KidoKoin What a great response. Spoken like a true artist talking about art.
Lin Manuel said that people wanted to hear what Eliza had to say right after the Reynolds pamphlet
Rory is so adorable. Can we appreciate him, with how excited he gets and how he dances and sings along
I swear to god, the song hasn't even started yet but I already got the chills
5:05
Shes asserting her dominance, it's like shes mentally t-posing. He looks so intimidated lmfao
I'M CRYING
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
Amazing!!😅
if i were there i would've been that girl screeching "I LOVE RENEE" in the background
the one who shrieked "YES YES YES"
that one
I love how everybody just starts screaming when he says Tony-award winner.
That girl who probably destroyed her voice with that strangled 'YEs!'
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
This made me so happy. I straight up fangirled (consisting of everything from arm-flailing, screaming, laughter to tears) for like 6 and a half minutes until she asked us to sing along. Then I was sitting here in my room shouting at my screen. This is the best thing ever. I'm so sad she's leaving the show. I don't know why I see all the Hamilton stuff 1 week late, but it doesn't matter. My life is now complete.
I wish they kept this song in the full musical, it's such a good song
MasonMinePlayz Miranda explained that he wanted the focus to be on Eliza’s - not Angelica’s - response to Hamilton’s betrayal. I think he was right, but this is an awesome song!
@@justmydeals That does make sense, regardless this song is great
Rory said he was a total fan girl or whatever and then Renèe came on and just started roasting him
Fascinating to hear this number. Renee extraordinary as always, and it's a good song...but Lin was absolutely right to cut this. It overstates what is made so clear with just the brief exchange that remains in the show. It also sounds out of character for her to call Alexander stupid (even though it echoes "Aaron Burr, Sir" ). It reiterates information we already have. And it would have broken up the incredible momentum of "The Reynolds Pamphlet" which is so needed at this point in the show. I love getting this glimpse into the process. I love that Lin has such a perceptive eye for what shouldn't be kept as well as what should. All writers know that half your stuff goes into the trash can. Even if it sounds pretty good, it might not be good for the project. Maybe a life somewhere else, maybe it just served its purpose by being part of the thought process. Good to honor that knowledge. Thanks, Lin, for sharing this with us and for bringing Ham4Ham to life. Thanks, Rory, for picking up the ball with grace.And thanks again to Howard Sherman for faithfully recording it. It's been a real joy to watch, right up to the end (for now).
i agree 100%!
i SLIGHTLY disagree bc we never really were able to hear from her point of view much
Beg to disagree, I think he should have kept the song in mainly as it is one of the few times we get to see Angelica's point of view in the show and it's the last time in the show she really 'speaks for herself' as it were instead of speaking on behalf of the chorus (as she does in 'it's quiet uptown' and the finale. Also it provides needed insight into what's actually been going on in Angelica's life since the war ended. This, the Dear Theodosia reprise, and the extended Schuyler defeated should have all been kept in, in my opinion.
Martha Southgate I do understand why he chose to cut it, but I hope that when the show is inevitably adapted for TV he reworks things a little bit to put it back in.
Martha Southgate I respect your opinion but i think this song would have added an extra spice to the second act. Parts of this song were only added to the last version of the Reynolds Pamphlet after he decided to cut this song i'm pretty sure. I think Angelica showing up to roast Alexander and show her love for her sister would have been awesome in the show. I do see where you are coming from though.
When they make this into a movie (when, not if), they need to include this song. It’s so good.
I love how much Rory loves this performance ❤
to bad this song got cut, I really like this song
“And we said yes because we always says yes to him.”
I love her so much.
IM NOT CRYING YOURE CRYING WHAT
Stella Peters IM CRYING AND SO R U
Was that a reference-
Everyone this is a historical moment. Someone actually commented with the correct,”You’re/Your”
@@krazykat683 MOOD
Can they release a Renée studio version, please? 😢
this so much! i am so bitter lin-manuel miranda had someone else sing it on the mixtape. we need a professional recording of renee singing it in its original (and much much better) form.
claddagh182 guys, Sia is a legend! But I would also like a version with Renee
claddagh182 he explicitly didn't want anyone from the original cast to be on the mixtape
Shlambobbo Shlim Sia is amazing!! But I do want to point out that Sia doesn't sing this on the mixtape. She does a cover of Satisfied with Queen Latifah and Miguel. "Congratulations" is sung by Dessa. :)
Emily Kratz Other than himself that is.
I love how as soon as she says "Congratulations" the first time, she slides right into character. Makes my heart happy.
the sarcasm is uncanny
Dude, is even more sarcastic that the one for Mr. Adams XP
obsessed with janthony oh my gosh your username XD
