Hamilton Things
- Historically and in the play, Philip died at the age of 19. He lived through 19 songs in the play (Dear Theodosia through Stay Alive [Reprise])
- In his duel with George Eacker, Philip is shot on the count of seven, which is coincidentally the number he changed the melody on during his piano lessons
- “Mom, I’m so sorry for forgetting what you taught me” - perhaps this is a reference to his piano lessons when he was younger. Eliza taught him to count. Philip believes he miscounted, he believes that it was his fault he was shot on what he thought was the count of seven.
- Hamilton died at the age of 47. Including the Laurens Interlude, there are 47 songs in the musical.
- The ensemble member who plays Philip Schuyler, who gives Hamilton his blessing to marry Eliza, also plays James Reynolds, who blackmails Hamilton for sleeping with his wife, Maria.
- The “I know my sister like I know my own mind” line is sung twice by Angelica, once in Satisfied and once in The Reynolds Pamphlet, both with very seperate connotations.
- Hamilton is the first to introduce more intricate, polysyllabic raps (My Shot) as opposed to the simple beats used by Laurens, Mulligan, and Lafayette, showing his intellectual ability and innovation.
- “Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead” is directly followed by Laurens introducing himself.
- Jefferson sings in a jazzy tune because he has been away for so long and therefore missed the transition from jazz to hip hop. However, he quickly adapts as shown in Cabinet Battle #1.
- Lafayette’s increasing grasp on the English language is shown when comparing his verses in Aaron Burr, Sir and Guns and Ships.
- Angelica is the first to sing “look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now”, which Eliza continues to use throughout her life.
- Angelica raps at Hamilton’s speed because she is his intellectual equal. Eliza beatboxes because she supports him.
- “When my prayers to God were met with indifference, I picked up a pen, I wrote my own deliverence”/ “I take the children to church on Sunday, I sign of the cross at the door, and I pray. That never used to happen before”. Philip’s death drove Hamilton to religion, giving him something to rely on other than his words for the first time.
- Eliza doesn’t rap because she is quite literally given the most time, she lives to be 97.
- Not only did Eliza establish the orphanage, she also helped to establish the first school in Washington Heights. Lin could have included the words “in Washington Heights” as a reference to his other musical, but decided against it.
Favorite Lyrics Hamilton Act 2 Edition
What’d I Miss- ‘cause he’s been kicking ass as the ambassador to France
Cabinet Battle #1- hey, turn around, bend over, I’ll show you where my shoe fits
Take A Break- “My dearest Angelica”/ with a comma after “dearest”/ you’ve written: “my dearest, Angelica”
Say No To This- if you pay/ you can stay
The Room Where It Happens- the pieces that are sacrificed in every game of chess
Schuyler Defeated- beware, if goeth before the fall
Cabinet Battle #2- do whatever you want, I’m super dead
Washington On Your Side- southern motherfucking democratic republican
One Last Time- I’m stepping down, I’m not running for President
I Know Him- Jesus Christ, this will be fun!
The Adams Administration- as long as he can hold a pen, he’s a threat
We Know- ha, you don’t even know what you’re asking me to confess
Hurricane-we were sick and she was holding me/ I couldn’t seem to die
The Reynolds Pamphlet- I’m not here for you
Burn-you sleep in your office instead
Blow Us All Away- the ladies say my brain’s not where the resemblance stops
Stay Alive (Reprise)- I would always change the line
It’s Quiet Uptown- I never liked the quiet before
Election of 1800- Jefferson has beliefs. Burr has none
Your Obedient Servant- the only common thread has been your disrespect
Best of Wives and Best of Women- come back to sleep
The World Was Wide Enough- I survived but I paid for it
Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story- and when my time is up/ have I done enough
Favorite Lyrics Hamilton Act 1 Edition
Alexander Hamilton- And me? I’m the damn fool that shot him
Aaron Burr, Sir- if you stand for nothing Burr, what’ll you fall for?
My Shot- I’m past patiently waiting/ I’m passionately smashing every expectation/ every action’s an act of creation
The Story Of Tonight- something they can never take away
The Schuyler Sisters- I’m a trust fund, baby you can trust me
Farmer Refuted- why should a tiny island across the sea regulate the price of tea?
You’ll Be Back- I’ll kill your friends and family to remind of my love
Right Hand Man- Dying is easy, young man; living is harder
A Winter’s Ball- if you can marry a sister, you’re rich son/ is it a question of if, Burr, or which one?
Helpless-And long as I’m alive, Eliza, swear to God you’ll never feel so helpless
Satisfied-Atleast my dear Eliza’s his wife/ atleast I keep his eyes in my life
The Story of Tonight (Reprise)- if the Tomcat can get married (if Alexander can get married)/ there’s hope for our ass, after all!
Wait For It- what’s it like in his shoes?/ Hamilton doesn’t hesitate
Stay Alive- we have resorted to eating our horses
Ten Duel Commandments- pray that Hell or Heaven lets you in
Meet Me Inside- call me son one more time-!
That Would Be Enough- but you deserve a chance to meet your son
Guns and Ships- ev’ryone give it up for America’s favorite fighting Frenchman!
History Has Its Eyes On You- you have no control/ who lives, who dies, who tells your story
Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down)- when you knock me down I get the fuck back up again
What Comes Next- you cheat with the French/ now I’m fighting with France and with Spain
Dear Theodosia- when you came into the world, you cried and it broke my heart
Non-Stop-Burr, we studied and we fought and we killed/ for the notion of a nation that we now get to build
I recently got rlly into Hamilton and so I was playing it in the super high tech rental car that can connect to more than one phone, and so I was playing “Satisfied.” And what I didn’t know was my dads phone was connected as well with “Wayz” and it stopped the music to say “Vehicle stopped on shoulder.” And since iPhones are programmed to play the last thing you were listening to after like ways or maps, guess what fucking plays “I can’t get no’ satisfaction.” (Rolling Stones)
Gryffindor: George Washington, John Laurens, Lafayette,
Ravenclaw: Angelica Schuyler, Hercules Mulligan, Phillip Hamilton, James Madison
Hufflepuff: Eliza Hamilton, Peggy Schuyler, KIng George iii
Slytherin: Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, Thomas Jefferson
In New York you can be a new man!
I can’t believe this papercut is still going on, but I think it’s like 80% ready, so there is hope.
