@@Jeradcoolestintheworld yes but since this song is in the beginning you can see that they all are aiming and shooting for the sky while burr "waits for it" , he didn't shoot his shot until way later in act 2 in "room where it happens" thats where hamilton and burr swith places
7:35 I love the fact that Burr is still there and joins in with the choreography rather than being like "fuck this. I ain't hanging around with these suicidal idiots"
He wants to rise up, you can totally see that throughout the production, he does, not so deep down. It's just hard when you've a horrid phobia of letting down your dead parents and destroying a legacy. And depression, probably.
Yes if you watch the musical, a lot of numbers where he not actively in it he is still in the background. Symbolising that he isn't against the revolution, and he has very similar beliefs to Hamilton, he just has a different approach
I can't get over the fact that when they first met burr was being slightly vulnerable telling him his parents are dead... And Hamilton was just like "YO SAME!"
oh god. when burr says "fools who run their mouths off wind up dead' and the laurens enters and then he's like "like i said' THE FORESHADOWING IT HURTS
@@ilovkittisncatsi still wonder why that happens. i’ve searched it on reddit a few times and everyone has experienced it but doesn’t know why it happens so much
Fun Fact: At about 6:31, Hamilton is talking, and this is when he wonders when he’s going to die. But in The World Was Wide Enough, the exact same choreography happens. He’s about to die and remembers what he said when he, Hercules, Laf, John and Burr were friends. It only took 30 years for Hercules to go back to his tailoring business, Laf to France, John to get shot and Burr, his first friend, his enemy, the first and last friend he ever saw, to murder him.
Is there anyone else who is moved to tears by the pure energy of this musical, and in utter awe at the unimaginable dedication and hard work that must have gone into making this happen?
@@stefaniem.3187 the African American community despises it when black characters are race swapped, how is this any different? Why is this ok but the other way around isn't?
Hamilton isn’t accurate, but if you approach it with a mindset of a very loosely based in the forming of the USA and otherwise just an amazing musical then you can’t go wrong
Hamilton isn’t supposed to be super accurate its loosely based off American history using characters and events that happened and exaggerating the life of Alexander Hamilton to flourish of the creators artistic take of the American Dream Theme
@J miilz Agreed! Accuracy is not the goal here, rather the message of overcoming adversity to bring about a better world. Besides, history (generally being written by the victors) tends not to be very accurate or complete so this work is in good company!
I know it’s not historically correct but this made me read up on these people and battles in our history. I’ve heard others saying this same thing too so Hamilton is insanely great and also thought provoking. It’s a win/win.
I don’t know why, but I really like this part of “My shot”: Rise up, when you’re living on your knees you rise up Tell your brother that he’s gotta rise up Tell your sister that she’s gotta rise up
My favorite part is: I’m past patiently waitin I’m passionately smashin every expectation ever actions an act of creation I’m laughing in the face of casualties and sorrow for the first time I’m thinking past tomorrow
Am I the only one who prefers 5:48 - 6:10 over the one in the soundtrack. Don’t get me wrong the soundtrack is amazing but this part feels more powerful because of the echo effect
True, a lot of songs are better live than in the soundtrack. You can also notice this with the ending of Satisfied. Also, without the laughs, King George III's songs feel kinda... empty
Just gonna clarify what happened here. Burr and Hamilton meet outside a bar. They go inside the bar where John, laf and herc are loudly and drunkenly rapping. Alex joins in and then they dance around a pub, the other 3 probably hammered. They then go outside where John decides to start yell-singing near people's balconies, at night time based on the lighting. They get everyone who was in the bar or nearby to join in the loud singing. Then they go back into the bar to drink a bit more before going home, still singing.
You guys! Watch at 7:28 Laurens (at the left) holding the Bullet back who’s trying to go near Alexander when Alexander is standing in the center and saying the words “I’m passionately smashing every expectation”. Took me a lot of rewatch to notice that and realize it was Laurens who kept him alive before anything or anyone else
@@user-lf6du8te5q “The Bullet” is a character played by an ensemble member. Here, the role is played by Ariana Debosse. She is the “someone” you can see that got blocked by Laurens
I love history, kinda in the middle when it comes to rap (I'm an old school guy), and absolutely HATE musicals. My brother made me watch this with him today...it's absolutely incredible
I hated musicals until I saw Hamilton. Now I’m vibing to this every now and then and while playing Call of Duty (mainly in Modern Warfare/Warzone back in 2020) and now I have an Alexander Hamilton Funko Pop hanging around in my room 😂😂
The actor playing Burr has a terrific singing voice. I'm sitting here comparing myself to A. Hamilton and these magnificent artists and wondering what I am going to do that impacts the world as much as they do.
@@aliciastack927 and @Krushil Bhavsar: Interesting question! Miranda says the idea was to capture the live musical "feel," and that he could not imagine it as a movie. In live opera productions (and perhaps Broadway, too), the sound is usually live, but in movies, much of it -- and particularly singing -- is usually dubbed. I can see a mike on the side of Burr's face at 0:33, which would not be there if they were dubbing the vocals. If you have sources or if you spot any more clues in the video, please post your thoughts for us.

So angry I spent a lot of money for the live show...I understood nothing. Why is it so easy to understand here? It was white noise at the live show. Left half way through.
Super catchy. It just keeps going around and round in my head especially like that one part, where he did that thing, with that song, and all that other stuff it was the greatest thing I've ever seen or heard still this one like so many of the other songs are super catchy
Or make the mistake, as I did last night, of going to see the Broadway tour of this. Crappy sound system, unintelligable lyrics, screeching vocals. Astoundingly loud. Essentially a headache inducing assault on the eardrums. Improved in the second half, a little. If I wanted my head to feel like that, I'd drink cheap whiskey.
Yup soon as he says "those who run their mouths off wind up dead" The VERY NEXT person to speak is John Laurens lol Also in The Battle of Yorktown John Laurens shakes hands with the women playing death
As a history teacher, Hamilton got my worst class into the American Revolution. They quit falling asleep and paid attention because I put some of the songs in my lectures to help
the way john says "who are you" is like he already knows who he is, like he had watched him when he introduced himself to burr and so hes just like oh i wonder who you are idk you never met you in my life
Fact: Even though Lafayette said that he was opposed to a monarchy in France in the musical, in reality, Lafayette was opposed to France abolishing the French monarchy, and he was one of the moderates in the French Revolution who wanted to keep the King as a Constitutional Monarch, he believed that the revolutionary government should adopt the type of government to that of Great Britain, which was a constitutional monarchy that the king were to rule in collaboration with parliament and by a Constitution.
Im so in love with the choreography at 6:19. it feels so powerful, im mostly watching the woman with the black long hair :D but they are all so amazing
I went to one of the shows I was 7 and I didn’t realize how special it was, im 12 now and I saw it again for my birthday when I turned 11 it’s amazing!
I honestly live when he says don't be surprised when you see me in your history books, though they never did he now how has a whole play about him, books about him, games based off what he did! And it's honestly amazing.
I prefer this to the studio version, one reason is at 0:44 in the studio version it sounds like hes just denying being stupid without being fully confident in it, but in this version when he says "im not stupid" it sounds like he's defending himself and wont tolerate being looked down on

He was so fascinated about death. All his life. But in the end. He did the thing. He said he wouldn’t.

Hercules Mulligan is one my favourite portrayals in the show. The dude playing him just shows so much energy in the role
Mhm. Come again!
i could be wrong but i think the man who played him was an ex-american football player, so that probably plays into it a bit. y'know, the energy.

@@Literally___Me im even more confused now
Fun Fact: At about 6:31, Hamilton is talking, and this is when he wonders when he’s going to die. But in The World Was Wide Enough, the exact same choreography happens. He’s about to die and remembers what he said when he, Hercules, Laf, John and Burr were friends. It only took 30 years for Hercules to go back to his tailoring business, Laf to France, John to get shot and Burr, his first friend, his enemy, the first and last friend he ever saw, to murder him.
A similar phrase appears in “Yorktown” as well.
I got chills reading this
He does a lot of connecting songs/scenes with choreography and repeating phrases to show the ties... Part of what I love so much about it..
@@amydonahugh3902 Literally every musical does that.
His enemy? A man he’s despised since the begin, JUST TO KEEP ME FROM WINNING! I wanna be in the room where it happened, for the last time.
Best line of the entire play “ he looked at me like I was stupid I’m not stupid”
Reminds me of big bang theory. "He said I'm crazy. I'm not crazy. My mother had me tested." Idk why but i thought of that and couldn't stop laughing.

I mean the transitions get more obvious but Aaron Burr Sir and My Shot have a VERY clean transition.
5:02 biggest understatement in the musical
lmao
Haha
What am I missing?
@Vamphog look up the letters alexander sent to John laurens
My biggest regret is not seeing this show in person when it was running
I some how remember seeing this but when I was two years old
It’s still running
Hamilton isn’t accurate, but if you approach it with a mindset of a very loosely based in the forming of the USA and otherwise just an amazing musical then you can’t go wrong
Hamilton isn’t supposed to be super accurate its loosely based off American history using characters and events that happened and exaggerating the life of Alexander Hamilton to flourish of the creators artistic take of the American Dream Theme
@@jamilisabest agreed
@J miilz Agreed! Accuracy is not the goal here, rather the message of overcoming adversity to bring about a better world. Besides, history (generally being written by the victors) tends not to be very accurate or complete so this work is in good company!
I know it’s not historically correct but this made me read up on these people and battles in our history. I’ve heard others saying this same thing too so Hamilton is insanely great and also thought provoking. It’s a win/win.
I haven’t watched it but what is inaccurate about it?
"Let's get this guy in front of a crowd"
*is currently standing in front of more than a thousand people singing*
How good is the book Burr be reading to not be a part of this-
The book?
@@dylanrice69 you can see him holding a book throughout the song “Aaron Burr, Sir”
@@milliesfavoriteinterests oh
That book gotta be fire
I keep on seeing burr comments and thought yall were talking bout bill burr and i kept on looking for a bald red headed dude waiting to spit 😭
I don’t know why, but I really like this part of “My shot”:
Rise up, when you’re living on your knees you rise up
Tell your brother that he’s gotta rise up
Tell your sister that she’s gotta rise up
My favorite part is:
I’m past patiently waitin I’m passionately smashin every expectation ever actions an act of creation I’m laughing in the face of casualties and sorrow for the first time I’m thinking past tomorrow
YESSS 🔥🔥🔥
Am I the only one who prefers 5:48 - 6:10 over the one in the soundtrack. Don’t get me wrong the soundtrack is amazing but this part feels more powerful because of the echo effect
Nah, I'm the same, I absolutely adore this part
I replayed it like 10 times-
😵😵😵
Yes I agree. Watching the show on disney plus is weird after listen to the soundtrack 1000 times because the show has so much more energy put into it.
exactly why im compiled all these disney+ clips in a playlist instead
1:57
True, a lot of songs are better live than in the soundtrack. You can also notice this with the ending of Satisfied.
Also, without the laughs, King George III's songs feel kinda... empty
“My Shot” is literally what is getting me through college right now. ️
Burr: You punched the bursar?
Hamilton: *Y E S .*
Never gets old.
*snap*
Yes
**applause so loud that it circles the continent**
incredible performance. best musical ever. im speechless.
Just gonna clarify what happened here. Burr and Hamilton meet outside a bar. They go inside the bar where John, laf and herc are loudly and drunkenly rapping. Alex joins in and then they dance around a pub, the other 3 probably hammered. They then go outside where John decides to start yell-singing near people's balconies, at night time based on the lighting. They get everyone who was in the bar or nearby to join in the loud singing. Then they go back into the bar to drink a bit more before going home, still singing.
no shit
no shit darth maul
Thanks, now it makes sense.
Yeaahhh...I kinda already knew that.
Thank you, though!😁

You guys! Watch at 7:28 Laurens (at the left) holding the Bullet back who’s trying to go near Alexander when Alexander is standing in the center and saying the words “I’m passionately smashing every expectation”. Took me a lot of rewatch to notice that and realize it was Laurens who kept him alive before anything or anyone else
huh? i dont see that
i see laurens blocking someone, but i dont see a gun or bullet or anything
@@user-lf6du8te5q “The Bullet” is a character played by an ensemble member. Here, the role is played by Ariana Debosse. She is the “someone” you can see that got blocked by Laurens
@@sarangiljimolla377 oh sorry i only just really got into the hamilton fandom
Nice catch.
I love history, kinda in the middle when it comes to rap (I'm an old school guy), and absolutely HATE musicals.
My brother made me watch this with him today...it's absolutely incredible
Hamilton: A show for everyone
I hated musicals until I saw Hamilton. Now I’m vibing to this every now and then and while playing Call of Duty (mainly in Modern Warfare/Warzone back in 2020) and now I have an Alexander Hamilton Funko Pop hanging around in my room 😂😂
Where did you wath the musical????
@@emmita_sandia3596 They probably watched it on disney+
What the fuck is wrong with all of you? You're angered by people trying to entertain other people? You're sick in the head
I love Lafayette’s part at the begging for some reason;
Most of his parts in general
literally one if not my favorite character
Live laugh love Lafayette
1:22 "fools who run their mouths wind up dead" cue John Laurens speaking
4:08 imagine you in a bar dancing and you all just decide to do jazz hands without a word said to signify the collective agreement.
The actor playing Burr has a terrific singing voice. I'm sitting here comparing myself to A. Hamilton and these magnificent artists and wondering what I am going to do that impacts the world as much as they do.
I have Disney Plus and I enjoyed this show a year ago and it was totally worth it
Plus, My Shot is my favorite song
Rappers today after 3 minutes of mumbling and non stop heavy beat: "Yo, that shit was hard though bro!"
Meanwhile in Hamilton...
They were not actually singing during the act , they had already sand and recorded the song. In the the act they were just dubbing.
This is a Broadway show, EVERYTHING is live, from the lighting cues to the band and DEFINITELY the vocals
@@aliciastack927 and @Krushil Bhavsar: Interesting question! Miranda says the idea was to capture the live musical "feel," and that he could not imagine it as a movie. In live opera productions (and perhaps Broadway, too), the sound is usually live, but in movies, much of it -- and particularly singing -- is usually dubbed.
I can see a mike on the side of Burr's face at 0:33, which would not be there if they were dubbing the vocals. If you have sources or if you spot any more clues in the video, please post your thoughts for us.
Hamilton is made for people like you who don’t like hip hop lol
@@PerryCoxPF93 hip hop and rapping is not the same thing. But thanks for your input which is totally beside the point and, ultimately, incorrect.

Lyrics: (my shot)- I am not throwin' away my shot
I am not throwin' away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like my country
I'm young, scrappy and hungry
And I'm not throwin' away my shot
I'ma get a scholarship to King's College
I probably shouldn't brag, but dang, I amaze and astonish
The problem is I got a lot of brains but no polish
I gotta holler just to be heard
With every word, I drop knowledge
I'm a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal
Tryna reach my goal my power of speech, unimpeachable
Only nineteen but my mind is older
These New York City streets get colder, I shoulder
Every burden, every disadvantage
I have learned to manage, I don't have a gun to brandish
I walk these streets famished
The plan is to fan this spark into a flame
But damn, it's getting dark, so let me spell out my name
I am the A-L-E-X-A-N-D-E-R we are meant to be
A colony that runs independently
Meanwhile, Britain keeps shittin' on us endlessly
Essentially, they tax us relentlessly
Then King George turns around, runs a spendin' spree
He ain't ever gonna set his descendants free
So there will be a revolution in this century
Enter me, he says in parentheses
Don't be shocked when your history book mentions me
I will lay down my life if it sets us free
Eventually, you'll see my ascendancy
And I am not throwin' away my shot
I am not throwin' away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like my country
I'm young, scrappy and hungry
And I'm not throwin' away my shot
I am not throwin' away my shot
I am not throwin' away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like my country
I'm young, scrappy and hungry
And I'm not throwin' away my shot
It's time to take a shot
I dream of life without a monarchy
The unrest in France will lead to anarchy?
Anarchy how you say, how you, oh, anarchy?
When I fight, I make the other side panicky
With my, shot
Yo, I'm a tailor's apprentice
And I got y'all knuckleheads in loco parentis (loco parentis)
I'm joining the rebellion 'cause I know it's my chance
To socially advance, instead of sewin' some pants (woo)
I'm gonna take a shot
And but we'll never be truly free
Until those in bondage have the same rights as you and me
You and I
Do or die
Wait 'til I sally in on a stallion
With the first black battalion
Have another shot
Geniuses, lower your voices
You keep out of trouble and you double your choices
I'm with you, but the situation is fraught
You've got to be carefully taught
If you talk, you're gonna get shot
Burr, check what we got
Mister Lafayette, hard rock like Lancelot
I think your pants look hot
Laurens, I like you a lot
Let's hatch a plot blacker than the kettle callin' the pot
What are the odds the gods would put us all in one spot
Poppin' a squat on conventional wisdom, like it or not
A bunch of revolutionary manumission abolitionists?
Give me a position, show me where the ammunition is
Oh, am I talkin' too loud?
Sometimes I get over excited, shoot off at the mouth
I never had a group of friends before
I promise that I'll make y'all proud
Let's get this guy in front of a crowd
I am not throwin' away my shot
I am not throwin' away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like my country
I'm young, scrappy and hungry
And I'm not throwin' away my shot
I am not throwin' away my shot
I am not throwin' away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like my country
I'm young, scrappy and hungry
And I'm not throwin' away my shot
Everybody sing
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Ayy, whoa (woo), whoa
Should let 'em hear ya (yeah)
Let's go
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I said shout it to the rooftops
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Said, to the rooftops
Whoa, whoa, whoa
A-come on (yeah)
Come on, let's go
Rise up
When you're living on your knees, you rise up
Tell your brother that he's gotta rise up
Tell your sister that she's gotta rise up
When are these colonies gonna rise up? (Whoa, whoa)
When are these colonies gonna rise up? (Whoa)
When are these colonies gonna rise up? (Whoa)
When are these colonies gonna rise up?
Rise up
I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
When's it gonna get me?
In my sleep, seven feet ahead of me?
If I see it comin', do I run or do I let it be?
Is it like a beat without a melody?
See, I never thought I'd live past twenty
Where I come from some get half as many
Ask anybody why we livin' fast and we laugh, reach for a flask
We have to make this moment last, that's plenty
Scratch that this is not a moment, it's the movement
Where all the hungriest brothers with something to prove went?
Foes oppose us, we take an honest stand
We roll like Moses, claimin' our promised land
And? If we win our independence?
Is that a guarantee of freedom for our descendants?
Or will the blood we shed begin an endless cycle of vengeance and death with no defendants?
I know the action in the street is excitin'
But Jesus, between all the bleedin' 'n' fightin'
I've been readin' 'n' writin'
We need to handle our financial situation
Are we a nation of states what's the state of our nation?
I'm past patiently waitin' I'm passionately mashin' every expectation
Every action's an act of creation
I'm laughin' in the face of casualties and sorrow
For the first time, I'm thinkin' past tomorrow
And I am not throwin' away my shot
I am not throwin' away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like my country
I'm young, scrappy and hungry
And I'm not throwin' away my shot
We're gonna rise up (time to take a shot)
I am not throwin' away my shot
We're gonna rise up (time to take a shot)
I am not throwin' away my shot
We're gonna, rise up, rise up
It's time to take a shot
Rise up, rise up
It's time to take a shot
Rise up, it's time to take a shot
Rise up, take a shot, shot, shot
It's time to take a shot, time to take a shot
And I am not throwin' away my
Not throwin' away my shot
Lyrics: (Aaron burr, sir)- Pardon me.
Are you Aaron Burr, sir?
That depends. Who's asking?
Oh, well, sure, sir
I'm Alexander Hamilton, I'm at your service, sir
I have been looking for you
I'm getting nervous
Sir...
I heard your name at Princeton.
I was seeking an accelerated course of study
When I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours.
I may have punched him. It's a blur, sir.
He handles the financials?
You punched the bursar
Yes!
I wanted to do what you did.
Graduate in two, then join the revolution.
He looked at me like I was stupid, I'm not stupid
So how'd you do it? How'd you graduate so fast?
It was my parents' dying wish before they passed
You're an orphan. Of course! I'm an orphan
God, I wish there was a war
Then we could prove that we're worth more than anyone bargained for
Can I buy you a drink?
That would be nice
While we're talking
Let me offer you some free advice
Talk less
What?
Smile more
Ha
Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for
You can't be serious
You wanna get ahead?
Yes
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead
Ay, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!
What time is it?
Showtime!
Like I said...
Showtime! Showtime! Yo!
I'm John Laurens in the place to be!
Two pints o' Sam Adams, but I'm workin' on three!
Those redcoats don't want it with me
'Cause I will pop chick-a pop these cops till I'm free!
Oui oui, mon ami, je m'appelle Lafayette!
The Lancelot of the revolutionary set!
I came from afar just to say "Bonsoir!"
Tell the King "Casse toi!" Who's the best? C'est moi!

Up in it, lovin' it, yes I heard ya mother said "Come again?" (Ayy)
Lock up ya daughters and horses, of course
It's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets (Wow)
No more sex, pour me another brew, son!
Let's raise a couple more...
To the revolution!
Well, if it ain't the prodigy of Princeton college!
Aaron Burr!
Give us a verse, drop some knowledge!
Good luck with that: you're takin' a stand
You spit. I'm 'a sit. We'll see where we land (Boooo)
Burr, the revolution's imminent.
What do you stall for?
If you stand for nothing, Burr, what'll you fall for?
Ooh
Who you? Who you? Who are you?
Ooh, who is this kid?
What's he gonna do?
Tysm
So angry I spent a lot of money for the live show...I understood nothing. Why is it so easy to understand here? It was white noise at the live show. Left half way through.
Congrats you have 69 likes
hercules “cOmE AGaIN”was so iconic
Super catchy. It just keeps going around and round in my head especially like that one part, where he did that thing, with that song, and all that other stuff it was the greatest thing I've ever seen or heard still this one like so many of the other songs are super catchy
No
Imagine being in a party and drinking a shot each time they sing the word ‘shot’. I wanna do this with my Hamilton friend lol

nah imma do this
Call me crazy but i tried to count.. roughly around 34 or so, i missed a few tho
How to die tutorial
This is absolutely mesmerizing. I hear and see more every time I watch this. FANTASTIC!
I want to watch this musical. Amazing!
watch it on disney plus!!
Or spend 2000 dollars on tickets and a flight to NYC and not get the original cast!
Or make the mistake, as I did last night, of going to see the Broadway tour of this. Crappy sound system, unintelligable lyrics, screeching vocals. Astoundingly loud. Essentially a headache inducing assault on the eardrums. Improved in the second half, a little. If I wanted my head to feel like that, I'd drink cheap whiskey.
1:30 did Aaron burr just predict John Laurens death?
Yup soon as he says "those who run their mouths off wind up dead" The VERY NEXT person to speak is John Laurens lol
Also in The Battle of Yorktown John Laurens shakes hands with the women playing death
I knew I'd get spoiled if I read comments

"talk less, smile more" nah 👋 Talk more AND smile more. Shine bright baby and don't ever let anyone dim that light inside of you ✨
After watching the entire play I now realize all the foreshadowing Burr does throughout the entire act lol
The way you can see david diggs messin around sometimes makes me giggle
Bro the way Lauren's looks at Hamilton at 3:05 kills me everytime
As a history teacher, Hamilton got my worst class into the American Revolution. They quit falling asleep and paid attention because I put some of the songs in my lectures to help
the way john says "who are you" is like he already knows who he is, like he had watched him when he introduced himself to burr and so hes just like oh i wonder who you are idk you never met you in my life
7:46 idk why but i love looking out for these little mistakes, watch carefully as Lin looses his balance for a sec here lmao
The Choreography of My Shot is why in my opinion the greatest Broadway piece and overall, the greatest Broadway show off all time.
ITS JUST SO GOOD ALWAYS IT NEVER FAILS
Ntm
Fact:
Even though Lafayette said that he was opposed to a monarchy in France in the musical, in reality, Lafayette was opposed to France abolishing the French monarchy, and he was one of the moderates in the French Revolution who wanted to keep the King as a Constitutional Monarch, he believed that the revolutionary government should adopt the type of government to that of Great Britain, which was a constitutional monarchy that the king were to rule in collaboration with parliament and by a Constitution.
Im so in love with the choreography at 6:19. it feels so powerful, im mostly watching the woman with the black long hair :D but they are all so amazing
I saw this last night on Broadway. Amazing show.
I like this this musical way more than I am willing to admit
Talk less never ceases to make me smile : both now and when Hamilton says it back to him later
Watching for 2hrs and 30 mins on Disney plus and NYC was amazing!
this is one of the best musicals i have ever seen
Just watched it last night on Broadway. Didn't have Lin Manuel but the guy who played him was brilliant. I usually hate musicals but this was amazing!

he looks lowkey sad
he looks like he shit himself and he's trying to be discreet about it
I made the exact same face around my first crush.
Saw Hamilton in Wichita Kansas. Wow. Loved every minute of it.
this musical is one of the best things I have ever watched. it is incredible!

I didn’t learn shit about Hamilton in school. This musical solely taught me about the revolution (after I did my own research of course)

Burr: "Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead" *Laurnes enters* Burr: "Like I said"
I honestly live when he says don't be surprised when you see me in your history books, though they never did he now how has a whole play about him, books about him, games based off what he did! And it's honestly amazing.
I prefer this to the studio version, one reason is at 0:44 in the studio version it sounds like hes just denying being stupid without being fully confident in it, but in this version when he says "im not stupid" it sounds like he's defending himself and wont tolerate being looked down on
“Don’t be shocked when your hist’ry book mentions me”
My history book: literally mentions this musical
2:07 DAVEED KILLED ME😭😭 “wow.”
Burr: Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead.
Laurens, right after that line from Burr: Ah-yuh-yo, yo-yo-yo, yo!

the transition is so clean omg
What an amazing, beautiful production!!!!!!! I saw it in Atlanta, twice. I'd see it again in a minute.

Whoa, whoa, whoa
Said, to the rooftops
Whoa, whoa, whoa
A-come on (yeah)
Come on, let's go
Rise up
When you're living on your knees, you rise up
Tell your brother that he's gotta rise up
Tell your sister that she's gotta rise up
When are these colonies gonna rise up? (Whoa, whoa)
When are these colonies gonna rise up? (Whoa)
When are these colonies gonna rise up? (Whoa)
When are these colonies gonna rise up?
Rise up
I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
When's it gonna get me?
In my sleep, seven feet ahead of me?
If I see it comin', do I run or do I let it be?
Is it like a beat without a melody?
See, I never thought I'd live past twenty
Where I come from some get half as many
Ask anybody why we livin' fast and we laugh, reach for a flask
We have to make this moment last, that's plenty
Scratch that this is not a moment, it's the movement
Where all the hungriest brothers with something to prove went?
Foes oppose us, we take an honest stand
We roll like Moses, claimin' our promised land
And? If we win our independence?
Is that a guarantee of freedom for our descendants?
Or will the blood we shed begin an endless cycle of vengeance and death with no defendants?
I know the action in the street is excitin'
But Jesus, between all the bleedin' 'n' fightin'
I've been readin' 'n' writin'
We need to handle our financial situation
Are we a nation of states what's the state of our nation?
I'm past patiently waitin' I'm passionately mashin' every expectation
Every action's an act of creation
I'm laughin' in the face of casualties and sorrow
For the first time, I'm thinkin' past tomorrow
And I am not throwin' away my shot
I am not throwin' away my shot
Hey yo, I'm just like my country
I'm young, scrappy and hungry
And I'm not throwin' away my shot
We're gonna rise up (time to take a shot)
I am not throwin' away my shot
We're gonna rise up (time to take a shot)
I am not throwin' away my shot
We're gonna, rise up, rise up
It's time to take a shot
Rise up, rise up
It's time to take a shot
Rise up, it's time to take a shot
Rise up, take a shot, shot, shot
It's time to take a shot, time to take a shot
And I am not throwin' away my
Not throwin' away my shot

"don't be shocked when your history book mentions me" when last week we legit talked about alexander (like not the musical but the actual guy himself) so dw alexander, i'm not shocked uwu
My history let us watch Hamilton in class 😟 I’ve watched it so many times before that to the point I didn’t even notice I was singing out loud 🥲
Man the chills I get with this song
I know Hamilton isn't historically accurate, but it's literally inspiring me to learn more about American history and shit lol
For those of you that have seen this live was anyone singing along? I hope to see this in theaters one day but I don’t know if I could resist sing along after seeing it on Disney+ and listening to the soundtrack fairly frequently, particularly this number…
I memorized basically this whole song 🥹 that’s how good it is!!! And now I love Lin Manuel Miranda and I really wish he had a RUclips channel
Loved this play on Broadway.
This is gonna be in the Canon of Broadway classics forever!
For racists
@@Illumirage it's not racist. It's America then told by America now.
@@annafowdy of white washing is wrong, then so is Black washing
@@annafowdy also, America now isn't only "people of color"
@@Illumirage no, but more than half of it is. If you don't like it, you can go back to Europe.
Thank you!
