It's amazing that this footage survived 4 years on youtube
Their is content the survived 16 years on UA-cam... but yeah amazing
@@emilykozak7249 They mean how it survived without getting taken down by copyright claims.
@@Mirhaus Does that mean that there are others that have been taken down??? Damn.
Ikr
Make that 5
something about his *"ah, mister secretary."* is so satisfying
That delivery!
Eh not rlly
True lol
@@basicallystupid7080 Your profile pic! 😯😯😯
it's honestly so funny to me how he says it lol
this is probably the best number in the whole show.
Apart from all the other ones, right? 😉🤭
Yeah, it has so much meaning behind the lines and clever wordplay!
I think so too.
@@milliesfavoriteinterests isn’t that in almost all parts the case :)
@@kvllxua_ yup! :D

"Two virginians and an imigrant walk into a room"
Sound like the start of a neat joke
Right?
I just saw a UA-cam clip of Lin-Manuel on Stephen Colbert's show 6 years ago, and they talk about how this piece depicts the Compromise of 1790: Hamilton got the national banking system he wanted, and Jefferson/Madison got the US Capital located in the south (Washington DC). What sounds like a dry history lesson, Miranda made so engaging in this song!
@@sueprice3315not only did he make a boring piece of history a masterpiece of a song. He also used it to highlight burr’s objectives and goals and his internal struggles so it’s not just a good ass song it’s also story telling GENIUS!!!
Funny you should mention, because In previous drafts of the song the lyric was “2 Virginians and an immigrant walk into a bar”
3:51 I love how Burr gets, in the most dramatic way imaginable, completely flabbergasted by Hamilton's taunting
fr bro was flabbergasted
On God, no 🧢, his flabber was hella gasted.
I always think this is the song where Burr really becomes the "villain" of the musical, and you really feel it. Easily one of the best songs in the entire soundtrack, if not The best.
Might be dumb, but I actually never even realized Burr was meant to be a villain (or ig antagonist is the better term) in this song. Especially since it’s an “I want” song, I always thought this song set up that, to Burr, Hamilton is the villain. With the ominous way he speaks throughout and the way he uses Burr’s advice to attain what he wants.
@@gooeybowser9332 Same! I was kinda confused with people referring to Burr becoming a villain before the part he challenges Hamilton to a duel. There's not really anything that sets him up as one prior imo and more than anything it's Hamilton that seems more set up to be the 'villainous' one, at least from Burr's perspective.
@@gooeybowser9332 I agree. I did not read Ron Chernow's biography that inspired Lin-Manuel Miranda, but he said in an interview that Burr comes off worse, as more the villain, in the book. Chernow told Miranda that he (Miranda) was more charitable to Burr. In the musical, Burr is more a counterpoint to Hamilton (wait and don't show what you think vs put it all out there and go for it) than a villain.
Even the duel is written to make Burr a tragic figure rather than a villain -- he did not kill Hamilton out of evil, but out of fear of leaving his daughter an orphan. He shot first rather than get shot. Ironically, the one time he did not wait. If he had, he would have seen Hamilton raise his pistol to the sky, and the tragedy could have been averted.
Having both read the book and knowing the show, I don't think either is a villain or a hero. Isn't that the point of studying history? Looking back enables us to see how people are just that: people. A thorough understanding of the past helps us put our present - and, ideally, our future - into context. Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr were both intelligent, driven men during a significant time period, yes, but they were neither evil nor particularly virtuous. They were just men, with all of the foibles implied therein.
The same as others portrayed in the show, like Jefferson and Washington. Washington is remembered as being almost the closest thing to a saint as we have in America, but he was a slave owner who passed the buck on doing anything to address what he knew to be an untenable situation because he didn't want to deal with the difficulties it would have required. Jefferson is recalled as being an intellectual giant, yes, but his sins are quite widely known at this point, what with the extremely questionable power dynamics involved.
As far as Miranda being kinder to Burr than Chernow, he's also kinder to Hamilton, not so much glossing over as outright misrepresenting Hamilton as a staunch abolitionist when he was, in fact, a slave trader who continued buying and selling people well after the Revolutionary War for both his own family and for and his father-in-law. There are no * *better* * people here: just people.
However, hard agree that this is the best song in the show, even if I adore Wait for It just a smidge more for entirely sentimental reasons.
@@sueprice3315it intrigues me a little that Hamilton always said "I'm not going to throw away my shot" and in the end he ended up throwing away his shot, and that Burr always said "Wait for it" and finished killing Hamilton for not having waited for him to raise the gun and not shoot him
I love 3:58 because they are literally screaming at him "WHAT DO YOU WANT???!!!" because the whole time, he never actually admits what he wants or his true motivation.
Then the ensemble t-poses
@@Khazziecally they're trying use the t pose to assert dominance over Burr so he'll tell him what he wants😂
Oh wow I’ve listened to this song so many times but never realized that. Great point!
I love it too. It really is the whole point. Burr is mad that he doesn't get to be in the room where it happened, but he didn't DESERVE to be. They were there to hammer out a deal. There was no place in that room for someone who was not going to state what he wants and where he stands.
Ikr
Damn that, “ah, mister secretary” was smoother than a Elmers glue-stick when you first open it
Facts
man i miss using elmers glue sticks in school, delicious
0:03
🥵
That's so specific
"The art of the compromise,
hold your nose and close your eyes.
We want our leaders to save the day,
don't get a say in what they trade away.
We dream of a brand new start,
but we dream in the dark for the most part."
That's my favourite bit. I mean that's poetry. Those words perfectly capture politics and what it means.
You completely missed the point of this whole song this is about a man desperately trying to figure out how the sausage gets made poor man doesn't know how to use a grill truly a tragedy😢
@@mira00able aw naw someone help the homie burr out with his sausages :(
@@jerhald3253 I think Theodosia helped him out with his sausage enough.

Yooooou weren’t supposed to film this. But - thank you for filming this.
This recording is on Disney+
@@emilykozak7249 no this is from the live on stage performance there is a difference. And take it from me who has watched it 20+ times per month
Exactly lmao, people can complain as much as they want but at the end of the day it’s a blessing for us all lmao
@@shane3546 me lol. And yeah this was filmed when it was live
Oh, just the sound alone is a dead giveaway that this was filmed live! 😄 You had great seats, though!

NOBODY SEEMS TO NOTICE THEY PULLED THE THINGY OFF THE TABLE OMFG
@@layhakellen2931the cloth?
Oh I deffo did notice they pulled the table cloth.
Yeah but Daveed did that while rapping
Daveed is better
4:03 HELP I JUST LOVE THE WAY HOW MADISON DOES THE T POSE IMMEDIATELY AND IT JUST LOOKS LIKE JEFFERESON FORGOT 😭
It kinda looks like they were going after one another. Madison T Poses, then Jefferson T Poses after and then after Jefferson, Hamilton T Poses. After the epic T Pose of the Two Virginians and the Immigrant, the both put their arms down and sits
They're actually all supposed to do the T-Pose movement at the same time, but Madison did it too early, so Jefferson saved it by doing it next so that it looks like they did it one after another.
Someone described this as Burr's Disney villain song and I haven't been okay since.
I would like to think that burr is a protagonist not a villain
@QueenMushu protagonist is typically the good guy, though, right? I thought the antagonist was the villain...maybe Burr is an antihero 🤔
Protagonist is the main character that we follow through the story, wether their intentions are good or bad. Antagonist is the thing stopping the protagonist, and it can be a person, a force of nature, the protagonist’s thoughts…
@@blippity0915 an example of this
You, the protagonist, want to sit down and play games and just relax the whole day
But the antagonist, your homework+potential bad grades if left undone, stops you from doing so
In the case of Aaron Burr, Hamilton is Burr's antagonist
While at this part of the story, Hamilton's antagonist is Jefferson
Burr's probably a deutarogonist (A secondary character to the main character who could be a good guy or bad or even neutral.
2:57 the “NO… one else was in the room where it happened” part had me blessed ITS SO GOOD
2:17: the dance move is literally “click boom”. Love subtleties like that.
It’s actually 3:17
Wrong, 5:17
@@hellothere2052 5:17 as well
you all seem right. the move in all the time stamps literally looks like the visualization of “click boom”. but the last one actually follows the lyric. there’s only one way to settle this.
and that’s searching it up to confirm but that’s boring so FIGHTT
Leslie Odom Jr has amazing stage presence.
Is no one else going to say how amazing his performance was? Truly. His stable vocals, whether they're pre-recorded or not... Amazing. 😩💕
So true lol
they're pre recorded?
@@-amacfit-8970 no
Pre-recording on Broadway? That's just an insult. We do this shit live, 8 shows a week!
True
1:59 idk why, but that transition that transition felt so smooth. The lighting and the way Burr says, “But!” just sends chills down my spine when I see/hear it.
As well as Jefferson and Madison on that part- I love it
@@atyanna6213 same
YESSSS
4:14 that cough went on to star in one of broadway’s most famous shows yet.
hialt
im so glad i wasnt the only one thinking that
I don’t get it
I love this recording. It shows so many tiny little differences in just the smallest details of choreography than the Disney one, but that shows the true magic of real theatre, each night is a slightly different experience from the last in its own way.
Ikr? I'm so used to the Disney version that I thought the knock-knock on the table was something scripted. And that was just Leslie improvising.
This gives me vibes of Dr Facilier from the Princess and the Frog, and I LOVE IT!!!!!!
Oh thank God I’m not the only one that thinks that Leslie would be perfect as that role on Broadway
This is EXACTLY what I thought when I first saw this number
_Dr FacilBurr_
Omg ikr
I feel like 0:20 is leslie playfully shoving Lin and then Lin retaliating. Its so adorable
Everybody is talking about the mr secretary, but what about how smooth that jump and remove the thing is. They must have practiced hard
The way that Hamilton’s voice deepened when he said “Talk less, Smile more”
0:26
omg I knew I wasn't the only one who noticed it's so cool
4:42 gives me goosebumps the way he says it
3:09 is probably my favorite part
same
Same
God the charisma this man displays is amazing. Leslie earned that tony
If Disney ever do a live action Princess And The Frog they need to cast Leslie Odom Jr. as Dr. Facilier
You got Dr. Facilier vibes from this too?! This reminds me so much of "Friends on the other side".
Funnily enough the actress who voiced Tiana in the original movie played Angelica at one point
I love how Burr gets madder and madder about not being invited into the room where it happens.
GIRL YOU ARE TOO LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE OG CAST
I've been fortunate enough to see Leslie Odom Jr perform this twice while touring for his music. He does it a lil different, but it's still so good. I'm so glad Leslie got to originate Burr.
4:41 was smooth ngl
I KNOW RIGHT!!
And here I am running out breath just looking at it
He’s just like
*Im finally in the room I’m so cool!
Wait.... where is everybody?*
Spice girls: so tell me what you want what you really really want! so tell me what you want what you really want!
Burr: I wanna be in the room where it happens
Something cool I noticed is that the cover of Hamilton is Hamilton with his arm in the air. At the end of The Room Where It Happens, Aaron Burr puts his arm down(5.20). Not only further showing that Hamiton and Burr are opposites, but also showing their personalities.
I think his arm in the air is supposed to represent Alex throwing away his shot
@@BreadShowOfficial well, you know some things can represent more than one thing. That's part of enjoying this musical, I think; Learning or seeing how many multiple meanings just one thing can mean.
3:35 is so magical-
All of Leslie’s talent was shown in this number he is so incredible
LESLIE ODOM JR. KILLED THIS!!! He is SOOO TALENTED and DOPE!!!!
I swear, that"click, boom!" gives me goosebumps
the foreshadowing makes me just aaa
Credits to the piano player they really pulled it together and made so much more dramatic and great
This has became my favorite song next to right hand man and what did I miss🥰
Check out what did I miss from the chicago production on my channel 🤭
Those are my least favorite songs
It’s tough to remember sometimes.
You know how awesome they all are in this?
They had to stay at that level 8 times a week. 🤣
that opening exchange is sooo damn flirtatious HSVHAVAHAVA
I've always thought that 💀 it's so out of nowhere lmao
@@k_n_c_y they've always been way too aware of each other for me to find this surprising 👀
@@l.josino I mean I never found they had that vibe until this brief and odd moment but sure 😭
😂😂😂
Fr tho, but i figured about as much from the soundtrack alone, you can hear the playfulness in thier voices. But them acting it out does push it closer to the line between playful and flirty
I came back to watch this after seeing one of MsMojo's videos, (I think the one about 10 things you didn't notice in Hamilton), and throughout the whole show Burr carefully plans his movements and therefore walks in straight lines, while Hamilton is always going in circles. They described this song as Burr's unraveling, and you can see this in his movements- I thought this was really cool and wanted to point it out 😅
somehow this is better than on Disney plus, it just feels more real
his eyes are so big in his last belt AHA
everyone is talking about the delivery of “mr secretary” but can just appreciate the synchronised turn at 1:13
4:00 the synchrony of Thomas and James when they turn is incredible.
3:52 burr: ham your a little demonic today
🤣🤣🤣Lol
Ah yes, the womb where where it happens
BAHAH WHAT?!!!
the womb where it happens 😩😳
WTF LMAO
The only answer to "how was I born" should be something like this
So two Virginians and an immigrant walk into a bar
4:48 that jump is my favorite part it’s so clean and perfect
If you didn’t know when he does that jump it’s an actual glass table and it somehow got no scratches on it obviously it got marks from his shoes but they can wipe off but it’s surprising how he never managed to scratch it
So mad I can no longer find a high quality clip of this scene. It's Burr's big show stopper!! It's so satisfying :)
Disney+
@@Boxish I just want THIS SCENE that’s why I said what I said…
@Cloudykook don’t have that but when I did, i preferred to just go on UA-cam to watch a specific scene than fast forward the entire thing
LOOK AT HIS EYES TOWARDS THE END O_O
4:13 watch out madison
He gon get covid
I’m dying right now lol
Save Madison(((((
I just noticed that the choreography at 2:58 is a direct callback to the choreography at 0:43
Yeah the choreographers did an absolutely magical job of using the choreography to show the same scenes happening from different characters perspectives. My favorite is the parallels between Helpless and Satisfied, especially the scene where everything goes in reverse and the choreography is the reverse of the same scene in Helpless. Absolutely unreal what they accomplished.
The iconic "click boom"! Love 💘
The Ensemble is just T-posing and throwing it back throughout the song
2024 here… I am still getting goosebumps watching this. EPIC !!
This 4:56 >>> The entire show
4:05 THOSE VOCALS CAME FROM HEAVEN
🔥
4:56 that's beautiful
He be like,
Ok ok ok when he jum- QUICK NOW NOW
Hope that never went wrong 😬
I like Leslie’s performance in this clip
Rules have been broken lol
When they say "the art of a compromise" thooooo
Thank you, I have been looking for the whole song performance live, not easy to find. You did a good job of filming.
I didn’t film this, but I agree they did outstanding
4:54 that part tickles my brain like UGHHHHHHH
Burr: No one else was in the room where it happened...
Me: *hiding in closet while it happened* :o
My daughter introduced me to Hamilton the musical and I have to say that I do not normally like musicals but I absolutely love the whole show. There are so many talented performers and the music, dancing, staging etc is outstanding. Thank you for bringing Hamilton to us.
"I.. wanna be in the room where it happens, i *COUGH COUGH* wanna be in the room where it happens!!"
Hamilton: I've nowhere else to turn"
Also Hamilton: turns left and walks away
“Ah mista secretary”
3:09 best part
NOT THE COUGH 💀✋
4:14
By far one the best performances in Hamilton
ok but why is "Actually I would" so satisfying to listen to
Ok confession: I have a crush on Leslie. I saw him live once in 2021 and he was amazing in it. His acting and dancing is beautiful and his charisma is so spot on. His voice is so phenomenal, he could pass for a siren. He’s such a dad too… I love him sm
Where did you see him? Because it couldn’t have been hamilton since he would’ve been gone from hamilton for at least 5 or 6 years
@joziahestopinan At an Independence Day concert. I think he sung Dear Theodosia there
I'll be honest
I have a crush on Burr(the musical one not the historical)
And I just love Leslie(not a crush)
I won't judge you because I relate
i thinkthis is one of my fav hamilton songs for singing/dancing it's amazing!
That last « click boom » 😭❤️🔥🔥 i could die for this
what a talent!!! WAIT FOR IT, DEAR THEODOSIA, ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS... Lin MANUEL'S EYE FOR SEEING WHO TO SING WHAT IS JUST DIVINE.. EASILY I HAVE 6 BEST SONGS.. I CANT EVEN NUMBER THEM..DANG..LOVE U LESLIE!
*vibin to the song*
that one person at 4:12 : CeUgHQuEgH
That really annoys me 😖
I cackled
I died🤣
I love how he says *ah, Mr. Secret-ry*
King george: the film of this is estrictly prohibited
This guy: I will ignore that
Ooooh finnaly a musical that has some tenor banjo
me: *sees a spider*
also me: *is chill*
the spider: *moves so much as an inch*
me: 5:15
It mustve been so awesome to watch the original cast perform Hamilton omg
Burr's actor is so great, omg
This performance NEVER ceases to give me chills or amaze me! I saw Hamilton on Broadway (after Lin Manuel Miranda and the original cast stopped touring). Was fucking amazing but I was so happy to see their performance on Disney Plus. Even though it wasn't allowed, I am glad this person captured this song - arguably one of my favs from the play!!
I feel like these videos really show the talent of the cast, the Disney + movies does too but this is ONE take no cuts: and Leslie, Lin, and everyone else are perfect .
2:17 this is so satisfying to me why isn’t it in the proshot
The man coughing needs an award
the trumpet is the true MVP of this song
This is making me want to watch Hamilton😐 edit: currently watching Hamilton
Congrats
HOW DO THEY NEVER MAKE SOUND WHEN THEY JUMP??
Technique
i think they tip their toe but i dont really know lol
They hold onto their core which removes a lot of the impact on the floor
you can hear a little, and probable the sounds is lowered by the music.
This musical has taught me more about American history than my actual history teacher
POV: your here because this is 1 million times better than the spotify version
All the live performances are much better than the recorded version imo
I could watch his performance all day. bravo
Omg I’m planning on going to see Hamilton on September 6 with my sis and she said “ we’re going to the room where it happens.” LOLLLL
always gives me chills!
listening to this with two earbuds on full blast feels like its scratching your head
