Notice how Eliza never raps because she doesn't have to rush to tell her story before she dies
wow thx for 100 likes
Qdiddy B ..... interesting! Thank you. .......
Q.Q
Qdiddy B bc she has time :’)
Qdiddy B ...... I just thought of something. Does Madison rap?
In the time period that this takes place, I think Eliza did not like Madison. When they were in extreme old age, Madison visited Eliza at her daughter’s house, and Eliza either chose not to see him or did see him but kept him standing and got him to leave quickly.
I need to do some research if only to quiet my curiosity about this.
Edited to add: I did a little reading, and Eliza refused to see Madison.
@Amethyst Anne Madison does rap in Washington On Your Side.
On a side not to the original comment;
Eliza is the only character to not rap in the musical, and I'm pretty sure Pippa said "It's interesting because my character is one of the few characters that doesn't rap at all. I don't feel like it's an accident, because I feel like Eliza is about time. In these melodies that I have, I have more time. I have more time to express a very simple piece of information. As opposed to rap; which is less time with as much information as you can. Eliza has the most time in the entire show." She said that in an interview with Charlie Rose.
I believe that it is both Eliza seeing the audience and realising that Hamiltons story carries on and seeing her story being told😀
Edit:That's why it is called Hamilton not Alexander Hamilton because it told the Hamilton's story😀
Actually her gasp was her ascension to the afterlife. She gasps after she locks eyes with Alexander. Which is when she realizes she is dead.
@@DakiJeon Actually Lin said it was her seeing the audience and that she relized her and alexander's story was told
That is exactly how I interpreted it the moment I saw it. But I'm a big fan of that "break the 4th wall" stuff in live theatre.
I do aswell. I think when Lin turnes around he isn’t Hamilton,he’s himself. And he’s showing Eliza the audience breaking the fourth wall. This is him telling her that her story was told!
Wow that’s cool. I always thought it was her dying and she sees Alexander
Elizas gasp is her realizing that they forgot about Peggy this whole time. Btw this is a joke
not just Peggy and the othes Schuyler sisters. and her other children than Philliph and some other stuff
What about Hamilton and Eliza’s daughter? They don’t mention her at all 😂😂😂
Fact: When Eliza and Alexander go to see Phillip at the doctor after he was shot, they came in black because they were coming from Peggy’s funeral.
dies young dosnt get how she died told so rude (dis also a joke) she says in pranthceys
K P3
WAIT WHAT? THAT SO INTERESTING!
. I think when Lin turnes around he isn’t Hamilton,he’s himself. And he’s showing Eliza the audience breaking the fourth wall. This is him telling her that her story was told!
I agree.
i agree this is my version
I think that is a really good idea, however, what about when other actors act as Hamilton? I saw Hamilton with a different cast and Hamilton still lead her around and Eliza still gasped. Also, I do believe that I saw that Lin debunked this theory. However, I really love this idea/theory!!!
Lin already discounted this theory, its been floating around Reddit for years
lilaznballaz1022 idrc,I like the theory.
I see it as Eliza dying and taking her final breath but also seeing her sister, husband, and the that all of their legacies have lived on, idk if that makes sense but just my interpretation
This is what I thought, if you look you’ll see everyone take a step back from her and I thought it was the divide between the living and the dead. I thought the gasp was a gasp of sadness about her being all alone after everyone around her has died.
Olivia Johnson oh man! That’s depressing
Agreed. I feel the same way.
This is what I thought as well. It was her final breath of life.
Laurel Newson 😂😂😂😂😂
i realize logically it’s probably eliza dying, but if i were to play eliza (since lin has said that the gasp is up to every eliza to interpret) i think i would interpret it as eliza seeing the audience and realizing her families story has been told. the dying thing is nice and all, but i find it much more powerful for her to realize that all of her work paid off. it gives eliza a resolution to her character arch, she realizes she has done enough.
I agree partially however I think it was her realising her story and everyone around hers story has been told, the line “50 more years, that wasn’t long enough” really proves that to me in my opinion
I think it's her last breath.
I also said this
@@miriamkronstadt3693
Hi eliz
Lin said that the gasp is because Eliza is seeing the audience and that he has told Alexander story like she has dedicated her life to doing meanwhile the actress Phillipa Soo has said that it’s because she’s seeing Alexander and God in all of these things
Sara Gibson nah, Lin said he won’t say what it really means because he wants it to be different for everyone else
Not true, he won't disclose what it means.
Well if Lin says something, he's the one that wrote the play so that would pretty mean that's what happened, but I highly doubt Lin said that,
ooh..... I like both of them UwU
LIN NEVER SAID THAT, Tommy Kail and him answered that question and they said that the gasp is up for interpretation to every person and every Eliza. Please.
I think Eliza is seeing her legacy and Hamilton’s legacy, but also her family that has passed on.
I agree
It's her seeing the audience and that her story got told... but they also liked people having their own interpretation and didn't want to take that away.
I’d say she saw the same thing Alexander saw. It’s the moment of her death. But she doesn’t seem to be as accepting of her end as the character of Hamilton is. It seems to come as more of a shock to her. But that’s just my theory. And since Miranda won’t give a definitive answer as to what the gasp represents, any theory is an acceptable one if it works for the individual viewer. At least it’s more of an ending than the sopranos ever gave us. 🤣
I agree with your perspective.
Who lives? Burr. Who dies? Hamilton. Who lives to tell your story? Eliza!
She wrote herself into the narrative when she married Hamilton. She wrote herself out of the narrative when he cheated on her. But in the end she actually WROTE the narrative to be sure those coming behind would know their story. LMMs full circles throughout this musical are mind-blowing!
I think Eliza is already dead and Hamilton leads her to the front of the stage to see the audience which shows that they have not been forgotten and their legacy lives on for both if them.
I like this one.
LUV IT
Here's the secret... it's always been Eliza's story. She was pretty unsung in life. I think Lin knew that. The whole time he was writing Eliza's story. At the end, she realizes this and gasps. He told her story and anyone who heard the gasp, heard all about Eliza.
I concur.
But she had never been the type to try and grab the spotlight 😔
bNDKSKFJS OHMYOFD OHMYGOF THIS IS MY FAVE INTERPRETATION
So the whole time, when people are singing, "Who tells your story?" they're talking about HER. When she says it, she's talking about herself. The gasp at the end is her realizing the answer: My story has finally been told, right there, on this stage.
@@BookFanBudgets yes. And at the end, Alex takes her hand and directs her to n the stage... only that's not Alex. It's Lin! I don't know who said that you die twice: the first time is when you actually die, and the 2nd time is the last time your name is spoken. This is a perfect ending.
I think that this gasp is Eliza realizing that not Alexander'a legally has been told, but hers, Philip, and all her family, and that thanks to, a great part, her work at those fifty years more that she had. Like you said, the musical is called Hamilton, not A. Hamilton. The moment is she realizing that all her work to get the story back was worth it, when she looks at the audience and realizes that it is still been told and famous internationally... don't know if it is clear what I just said, but that is it lol
Edit: Hey guys, I'm sorry about my text, that's not my mother language, but I try to do my best... please don't judge and just correct me. That way I can improve my English and make better paragraphs. Thx
legacy u mean
This is what I thought, if you look you’ll see everyone take a step back from her and I thought it was the divide between the living and the dead. I thought the gasp was a gasp of sadness about her being all alone.
I disagree, I believe that her gasp comes from her realization that Alexander’s story has been told. Throughout the whole song, the repeated phrase is “Will they tell your story?”. Notice how it isn’t “Will they tell our/my story?” She only really cares about Alex’s story here. This is supported by the fact that she sings how Alex could have done more if he had more time, pushing her to do more for his sake.
I think you make a good point with the " Hamilton, not A. Hamilton"
@@joshuasloan5784 this is actually something I only realised today. When watching the beginning today I remembered someone commenting, that it was sad that all of the people singing about hamilton in the opening number, know he dies, and are basically urging him on to begin his story... and by the closing number I was thinking that they're all there at the end, the living and the dead, tying up the loose ends... but then.
I realised the same thing as the OP of this thread. Eliza is still alive, and the good work she did herself, with telling the story of Alexander, of George Washington, of the other soldiers, speaking up against slavery, the orphanage.. is basically immortalised in the musical, and that its called Hamilton, and not just name checking her husband. Its about the both of them. And her gasp is her seeing all of their hard work, and the trials and tribulations, heartache and triumph, was worth it.
Its such an amazing piece of art.
I always thought that it was going back to where she found out he had died and she screamed in pain and sadness
That’s kinda what I thought if you look you’ll see everyone take a step back from her and I thought it was the divide between the living and the dead. I thought the gasp was a gasp of sadness about her being all alone.
Same
Ya but Eliza took Hamilton’s hand, so she was already dead or else she wouldn’t have been able to see Alexander
Sofia P It could be the ghost of Hamilton many shows and stuff use that theme of the dead being there but not really being there because they are dead
Olivia Johnson ya but it still makes a bit more sense for her to see the audience, it might be a combination of both
that moment when you realize Eliza was actually the main character of hamilton-
There’s a reason why wasn’t it called “Alexander Hamilton”
Some very interesting perspectives on the ending. I will throw another at you for thought. In the final song, "who lives, who dies, who tells your story", Elizabeth (Eliza) says that she lives another 50 years, and follows that with "it's not enough". She then refers to Angelica helping to tell the story, and after she passes, she proclaims "And I'm still not through" (telling the story). Throughout the rest of the song, she asks the same question, "have I done enough?" - When we move to the end of the song, she knows her death is near when she says, "I can't wait to see you again, it's only a matter of time". The song ends asking the original question, "will they tell your story?" - This is of course, where Eliza cries out to the audience. My thoughts is that she is crying out because although she has dedicated her life to telling the story, she is not done, and with her death, their story may be coming to an end. - As a weaker alternative, this could also mark the finality of her life's work, and with it a cry of relief for finally being able to rest.
What if this happened:
Eliza: *looks at Lin, wearing modern clothing*
Lin: “Hey ;)”
Eliza: *gasps, then dies*
OML- HEBEHSGDIESH
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, -cue helpless-
Posible-
I think that was what acutally happened
I believe the last moment of the musical is Eliza’s death. Her glorious transition to the afterlife, and reunion with her husband, her son, her sister, and her other loved ones.
And then there was *Maria*
When he said play instead musical my inner theatre kid came out
Maddi Kelly it annoyed me so much oh my goodness
Lin Manuel Miranda said in an interview that can be interpreted as her seeing death, Alexander's face and breaking the fourth wall that their story is told. I think the show is about Eliza, she is writing the story with her kids. As you watch, she is up top looking around.
i believe that the only reason Eliza gasped was because she realized that she was the one telling the story.She realized that because of herself Hamilton wouldn't had existed. what i'm trying to say is the whole musical was about the Hamilton's not just about the all mighty Alexander Hamilton, but Elizabeth
Hamilton telling the whole story. She realize that before she died everyone will start telling each other till their's none to tell anymore and that her work is done and that it's time to let go.. Which led to this musical called Hamilton.
As mother, I saw it as her finally seeing her baby, Philip, again. However, as a theatre practitioner, I enjoy that it's left to both the actress and the audience to interpret each night. It would be interesting to see how it changes from performance to performance.
I think when Eliza and Hamilton hold hands at the back of the stage, that’s symbolizing her meeting him in the afterlife and reuniting again. When he leads her upstage and then lets go it’s him showing her that she did it. She told his story. The fourth wall is suddenly broken and she sees the audience for the first time and sees HER story getting told as well.
To be honest
Thought Eliza had a heart attack at the end.
Me too
Me too!
But i absolutely love the theory that its LMM guiding her to show her that he told her story.
Me too!
Bahaha
It's when she realises Voldemort will grow up in her orphanage.
😂 let's make it canon
BWAHAHAHAHA
Lmaoo
I needed that laugh.
Ha.
My interpretation: it's not the actor guiding her to stage front. It's a the spirit of Hamilton himself.
More specifically, Eliza has passed away and meets Hamilton in the afterlife. He takes her hand and leads her to the front of the stage, where she looks up, breaks the fourth wall, sees the audience, and gasps, knowing that her and Hamilton's story has been told.
Supporting this is the fact that she sings about having lived another 50 years, so she is presumably quite old at this point. She also ends her singing with the question of "who tells your story?" before Hamilton guides her to the front of the stage.
lmao the gasp was her seeing the audience and knowing her hard work to tell their story was worth it and that it was enough :)
My interpretation:
Many ppl are saying its that she's seeing the audience, and what Lin Manuel did. I agree, yet my idea is different.
I picture Eliza laying in a bed, sick from age. A doctor is next to her, watching as her life slips away. Suddenly, Eliza lets out a gasp. Her vision is covered by her family members', whom are calling to her to join them. She unwillingly walks towards, then past them, approaching a theatre. She slips inside to reveal Who Lives Who Dies Who Tells Your Story on the first ever Hamilton Broadway performance. She gasps once again at the same time as Phillipa, and a spotlight shines on Lin, who smiles at Eliza. She blinks, and finds herself in Alexander's arms. Her son and family welcome her gratefully.
Thanks for reading all that. Don't judge the fact that I have such long "scenes". Hope you enjoyed! Please reply with your interpretation, I love reading them
I think at the end when Alexander walks her down the stage, it’s actually Lin walking her down stage and she’s happy that her story got told
The look in her eyes says it is not her dying. It is a look of appreciation with tears. I actually think the appreciation she feels is both for herself and Alexander at the end.
When Eliza sees Alexander at the end it's right after she says that they will meet again soon....I saw it as Alexander comes to meet her to take her to heaven....and the gasp is her seeing the light as she takes her last breath
Exactly how I interpreted it, too. Alexander comes to bring her to her heavenly home, and she gasps seeing God, seeing her family, seeing the glory of Heaven.
I just discovered this play myself and I'm with you. totally obsessed. Ive been listening to the soundtrack non stop since.
I think Eliza should get her own musical about her life after Alexander died, she did so much for everyone.
I like the idea of the gasp being up to the interpretation of the individual experiencing it. You can make it whatever you feel wraps the story up perfectly for you. To me it’s always been Eliza being done with her life’s work, seeing Alexander and knowing it’s her time to rest by his side.
In that last scene that is no longer hamilton , now it is Lin manuel Miranda and he's taking her to the front of the stage to show that he told her story , and she gasps seeing that her and Hamiltons story has been told
Elizabeth Williams LOVE IT! I think that is it, keeping w LMM's circle of story telling.
The Gasp for me is Eliza seeing EVERYTHING all at once in the very moment she passes on; the audience, Her life story, Alexanders story, her dead sons' story, God, her family...EVERYTHING. It's overwhelming and it's beyond beautiful. Too much for her to comprehend. Yet, she comprehends it all.
I think it’s because when Hamilton comes back on stage, Lin is playing himself and guides Eliza to the front of the stage telling her it’s okay to die you have done enough, we told your story. And the gasp is probably a relief, shock and happiness that her legacy has been told and she sees the audience clapping and knows it’s away to let go and die. She then sees her lost loved ones. Also because it is Hamilton and not A.Hamilton it could be talking about Eliza, maybe not I just thought I would mention that.

I see it as when Hamilton grabs Eliza's hand he greets her again when they see each other after her death and he leads her to watch how people tell his story after what she did to make sure Hamilton's life story was preserved. I believe instead of just seeing the audience she see's everything, the Washington monument, the orphanage and ofcourse the audience and everyone listening and watching.
i’ve seen it as her dying, and realizing she did all that she could and successfully told his story, she sees the audience and realizes that they’re all there because of her 🥺🥺 that’s why she’s my fave
Eliza is seeing the legacy of Aexander Hamilton in the play, and how her work was not in vain. She gets to see the future and be gasping at what she sees.
I think it’s Eliza dying and awakening in the afterlife and seeing all the answers and seeing her lost loved ones.
i was thinking the same thing!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always though that when she walks back and takes Alexander's hand she's already dead and that's when they met each other again, so he shows her the audience and she realize that all of her work hasn't been in vain, the legacy's alive and their story has been told.
Eliza’s 5 gasps:
Philip
When she saw Angelica
I’m watching it burnnnnnnnn
Philip again
When she swallowed a fly in who lives who dies who tells your story-
If you look you’ll see everyone take a step back from her and I thought it was the divide between the living and the dead. I thought the gasp was a gasp of sadness about her being all alone.
But she had her children and the orpahans! :(
I think it's one of those things where it comes down to the director; I've seen some (like with Phillipa) where it seems more like breaking the fourth wall and that realization that she's in fact told the story. With other actresses, it's seemed more like she's seeing Alexander as she enters the afterlife (from the way she reached out as if to embrace someone).
I’ve the seen the vid here on RUclips about the “gasp” of several actresses who played Eliza. Some are a bit underwhelming TBH but I do think it depends on each Eliza and how they
interpreted the ending.
i just assumed she gasped because that was the moment she died-
Summary: Eliza breaks the 4th wall and sees the Hamilton play happening and sees she succeeded telling her story
I always thought it was that she was having a heart attack or something because she’s dying and is gasping because of the pain or something
him :im super hamilton absessed
me : seen hamilton 11 times in a span of 21 days
Mrs. Nickel Normal hamifans watch it 25 times
My friend watched 5 but got tired
You watched 29
I WATCHED IT THE OTHER 51 TIMES
For me it was eliza taking her last breath looking at the audience and her husband's and own legacy and her story being told, tearing up happiness, idk is heart warming knowing she didn't die in vain 💙💫
I do want to see a movie adaptation of this. It’s just so hard to change sets and stuff on stage and it would make the story a little more seamless
My theory is that Alexander is guiding her to whatever’s next, and she gasps as she sees her sisters, her son, etc.
And then she faces... *maria*
@@juicycouture9672 oh *shit-*
I'm not sure if anybody else thinks this is it, but I think it's everything! Her last breath, realizing their stories have been told, seeing the other side, seeing Hamilton, seeing the audience, I also think it could be something that I don't see anywhere in the comments: she's realizing that not only did she keep Hamilton's story alive, but that she made her own story while doing it! She realizes she was the one who kept his story alive, the one who kept the country from forgetting him, the one who protected their legacy after his death, the one who lived with more time, the way Hamilton always wanted to!
I believe that Elias gasp is her last breath and going up to heaven and seeing everyone that she is known throughout life and seeing the audience who saw her story
i truly believe the scene goes on like this:
**alexander steps behind eliza**
at that moment, alexander is no longer alexander, its lin playing himself
**lin grabs eliza's hand** this is letting her know its okay to go
**he brings her to the front of the stage** she sees the audience knowing that her story was told because there was people to watch her there (it was practically eliza's story the whole time)
I agree with you- the movie is called Hamilton, not Alexander Hamilton. I think at the end she realizes SHE didn't throw away her shot, she worked hard to keep her and her husband's name out there. Also, when she sees Alexander, it reminds me of the end of Titantic when Rose is going up to Jack at the clock. She's surrounded by the people she loves who passed away before, and the gasp makes sense.
I think the ending can be interpeted in two basic ways.
The one about how Lin is showing Eliza's legacy through the audience and her dying and she is seeing Alexander again.
From what I understand Eliza (real one) spent the rest of her life reading interpreting and retelling her husbands story to anyone and everyone who would listen. I would then have interrupted that the last song Eliza (stage one) sings is a way to show what really happened. She kept up the story about her husband. And therefore I interrupted that the gasp at the end is Eliza seeing the audience and realizing that her efforts worked out. She kept her husbands legacy alive. And the actress plays it beautifully. The tears in her eyes. She is now gone (maybe she also her family in that moment. She was one of the last to die in real life) and she was successful. It’s a beautiful moment.
Maybe it’s her death but she lives 50 years longer in real life and yet is not portrayed as older. The real Eliza had more siblings (only 3;were portrayed in Hamilton) and she out lives
I initially thought it was right after Alexander had died and she was grieving. But I love the theory of Eliza seeing the audience
when i first saw hamilton, i thought this was when she found out hamilton died, which i now realize doesn’t really make sense. then i thought it was when she passed and saw hamilton and her son again, which does kind of make sense. but the one that brings me the most emotion is the final theory. it’s that Lin (not hamilton, lin) is bringing her to break the Fourth Wall and realizes her story has been told after she told everyone else’s. it’s such a beautiful thought
It was Lin showing her that he didn’t let her legacy die..even though she did.
I see it as Eliza seeing the world today, and seeing what America has become and been built up on because of Hamilton and the other founding fathers. It's really interesting to see everyone interpret that gasp differently! Also seeing a comparison of all the different Elizas is super interesting too.
i saw someone say that at the end, it isn’t Alexander that is leading her upstage but Lin. the chorus is singing “tell [her] story” or something similar. lin told her story and she realised that
Lin confirmed that Eliza gasps because she sees the audience and realises that his story is still being told today😊
He's actually refused to confirm any meaning because it's different for every woman that's played Eliza. He's said in many interviews that he wants to leave it open to interpretation.
He acknowledged that as a version of the ending, but he hasn't said anything about how the ending should actually be interpreted
Wow, it takes acting to make a hackle-raising gasp that the Eliza actors made. It’s so powerful! Really amazing stuff!
so what happened imo was that in the final scene, it’s not alexander, it’s lin as himself, but eliza is still in character. she outlived everyone and told their story, yet no one could tell her story. lin is showing her the audience, and showing her that HE has told her story even though no one had the chance to. he is breaking the 4th wall in this and is showing eliza that her story has been told. it honestly is such a great part.
it’s should be turned into a movie like mama mia
Juniper Star it is. in Disney+
No like a movie adaptation to the musical
I don’t think it would be as good one bc the whole musical is singing so adding words would make it longer and two it doesn’t seem like the type of story the would make a good movie until like the second act of the musical
No
I think it’s because she sees that she has told Alexander’s story and see everyone there and she sees she did it.
I thought about that gasp for hours and realized it really is Elizas story as much as it is Alexanders
Maybe it’s to resemble her final breath? Or her realizing that they are proud of her?
WOW - EXCELLENT INTERPRETATION thank you!! love it.
If she were seeing Alexander or Philip, she's facing the wrong way. Both are standing behind her on the stage. And we know that it is Phillip and not Laurens because Daveed Diggs has his hair tied up (the way he does as Lafayette), but Anthony Ramos has his hair down (the way he does when he's playing Phillip). Within the confines of the 4th wall, she should be facing the other way to see both of them. So she has to be seeing something else. Her seeing the audience makes the most sense. Lin - who is dressed in black, instead of the white of the other "ghosts" on stage - takes her hand, leads her to the front of the stage, and bows to her (an odd gesture for a husband, but not for a gentleman meeting a lady for the "first" time). The other character in black is Aaron Burr, who has acted as the narrator the whole time. I think that's Lin playing himself. The composer wears the same color outfit as the narrator, as they are the ones telling the story.
cryofpaine ....... Thank you for pointing all this out. I had to rewatch this again.
I feel like the truth is between Eliza, Eliza, and every actor playing Eliza- not saying this video is bad in anyway, I just believe they have a little secret or something.
I believe that Eliza gasps because she broke the fourth wall and is gasping at how many people told her story.
Edit: Hey, I realize other people have seen written this I didnt try to steal this that is what I believed before this video. So before you guys say copier im nit sorry
i believe the gasp at the end is Lin taking Eliza to the front of the stage and showing her that the Hamilton’s story has been told and received with so much love and applause by the audience. The gasp to me means that Eliza is shocked, overwhelmed, happy and almost relieved that even now, the Hamilton’s and their story are known by many worldwide.
I honestly love that it's not a movie adaptation likening wouldn't mind if that comes later but as someone who's unlikely to see it live due to where I live I really love that I can see it from a theater patron perspective
I see it as lin showing eliza that they told her story
Thank you so much for explaining this
2:16 Andrew Burr?? Lmaoo
Anyways yess this video is awesome
I like to think that Eliza's gasp is seeing her husband again but more of seeing her story being told. Yes the show is technically about Alexander but people wouldn't really know who he was if it wasn't for Eliza. So this is Eliza's story and that's why she gasps at the end. But that's just my thought and opinion.
Wow, Minds blown indeed
She gasped because she finally entered heaven with all her family
All great explations. ;]
God she's so good. That gasp makes me cry every time. Although it has been made clear it's her seeing the audience
Can we applaud the raw emotion displayed by Philipa Soo?
I think it is because Lin (not Hamilton right here) turns Eliza around to see the audience, where she sees her story was told in the form of a musical (because Elizabeth Schuyler wanted her story to be told so she gasped). Idk if this makes sense but whatever
omg this makes so much sense ive wached hamilton 28 times and never have known
To me, her gasp was the culmination of her lifetime of love and grief. And her moment of feeling him close, and of course the loss of her son, and perhaps her own imminent death.To my mind it was simple and clesr. I keep hearing other's take on it and am constantly amazed at other's ideas. I think each of our interpretations is a reflection of ourselves.
I thought it was pretty obvious what happened
Still makes me wail like a baby, I watch the show daily sometimes 2 times but I usually skip the ending song and Philip's death because it gets me everytime 😭
You don’t know how useful this was.
Edit: yes Kermit is a big fan of Hamilton
She sees today's America, how much different it is from when it started -- *GASP*
well yeah she would probably gasp if she saw that 💀
I honestly would prefer America back then then now, obviously without slavery.
I see it as the actor of eliza seeing the ghosts of alexander and eliza hamilton and them being proud of her
I think her gasp is her seeing the audience and when Hamilton leads her to the the audience Lin isnt playing Hamilton, he is playing himself, Lin, seeing that he has told Hamilton's story to the world. He is showing her because the musical isnt called Alexander Hamilton it's just Hamilton, Eliza is also a Hamilton the story is the Hamilton families story not just Alexander's thus he shows Eliza that he has told HER story
The best twist ending since the sixth sense. The best piece of art I’ve seen period
I thought it was because she died and that was the scream before she died.
I always saw it as Alexander’s spirit as manifested in this world taking her hand and leading her spirit to the point where she crosses into eternity. And when she does, she sees the glory of God and the fullness of all the seeds she & her husband had planted. She sees Alexander, Phillip, Anjelica, Washington, her family and so many others who’d run the race before her welcoming her and cheering her on as she crosses the finish line.
