This was a NEW take on Angelica -- I heard true regret and hurt in her voice. I loved her urgency as well. WHICH MEANS, that we all react to "regrets" quite differently. This version was an eye-opener for me.

Her voice is impressive

There's so many little things I notice about Karen's take on Angelica but one of them is the sort of high society, uppity vibe she gives her. It's noticeable when she gasps as Hamilton tries to kiss her hand followed by the way she sings "My name is Angelica _Schuyler_ " as if reminding him exactly who she is and how dare he do that. Plus, I love Karen in anything she does.

Oh gosh this analysis of her performance is everything 💖

It’s well documented that Miranda personally asked Karen Olivo to come out of semi-retirement (she had won the Tony for west side story, and had a baby) and headline this production of Hamilton.

The one thing I really liked what Karen did during the rewind sequence was that as opposed to Renee, who tried to keep herself centered and facing forward the entire time while the entire stage was spinning around her, Karen let herself turn as she was thinking to herself but then covered how she re-centered by acting as if she was watching her memories leave.

If you actually read Ron Chernow's biography, you will go home with a far deeper, more realistic portrait of Angelica. The Real Angelica was married before she and Eliza ever met Ham, but her husband and even her most illustrious correspondents (The Real Angelica became VERY good friends with Jefferson, which makes the "When I meet Thomas Jefferson" line in the Schuyler Sisters WAY funnier, and a bunch of their actual real letters survive) could hold a candle to Ham in her eyes. Also: After Ham died, she wrote to Eliza, lamenting the fact that she didn't have slaves to help cater to her seven remaining children. (Philip having already died in the duel, ALSO, there are records indicating that the Hams DIRECTLY assisted in the purchase of slaves for one Mr. John Church-Angelica's husband.)

You can hear the pain in her voice😭

Every actress brings a diffent take to this role ......this role is now one of the greatest in musical theater Just like Anita in west side story .........So powerful

Its so crazy to me how the exact same song with the exact same lyrics and even sung almost the same way can still portray such different tones. Like with Renée's, Angelica seemed like a mature almost witty older sister who couldn't help how she felt, but made a huge sacrifice for the happiness of her little sister because she loved her so much. But then this version has Angelica seems younger and more emotionally open who really gets caught up in how she feels and falls in love with Hamilton and then sacrifices what she feels at great cost for Eliza. At the end it seems like this Angelica is more openly heartbroken and hurt vs Renee's was more internalized and hurt on the inside, trying not to show it.

Something they showed more clearly in this version of the song is Angelica's disinterest in Alexander when they speak for the first time.

I think the way the actress sings is incredible. I agree with the other comments. It's a very different and a more emotional take on angelica in my opinion, I also noticed that their movements seem more elegant than in the original, atleast to me. And I like it alot. The other singers are also very very good.

I love Karen SO MUCH and her version is so good, in a league of her own. The emotion she brings is like no other!!

I try to remember just like how like people adopt new dogs to replace their old ones: NEVER COMPARE ONE VERSION TO THE ORIGINAL You'll 'only distract yourself from the here and now of what is being presented. That's the beauty of different casts for the same production: each actor has a different INTERPRETATION to the material

I think she’s really good overall, but I just don’t think the heaviness of the emotion she put into this song really matches the lyrics that well. This is a very cleverly written song, and it’s witty, even though she’s emotional about it there a lot of humor in it - which makes sense because Angelica even says she’s the wittiest sister. I love this song because I feel like it really let’s Angelica’s personality shine, she is smart and witty and yes she has feeling for Alexander but she stuffs it down because she cares so deeply for her sister. I think all of that personality really comes out in the way Renée plays it, but Karen just plays it totally emotional and regretful with zero humor / wit. We don’t see anything deeper about Angelica’s personality here, just that she’s regretful. Regret isn’t a personality.

Wow Karen Olivo killed this. I love how you could see the vulnerability of Angelica more in her portrayal. I love how especially with this show everyone brings something new

I know one problem with the Chicago cast- Angelica and Hamilton have NO chemistry. Some of the blame needs to be on Hamilton character not Karen Olivo.

I loved this interpretation of Angelica-goosebumps seeing her do this live. I ‘got’ this song much more after I saw her perform it and FELT the regret she conveyed

If you do not know this wonderful women, her name is Karen Olivo! She was on another one of Lin's musicals called, "In the heights." She took a break off acting, and then did another show with him, called "Tick Tick Boom." She is a wonderful Angelica!

Oh my gosh! This is my first time witnessing her performance.... And WOW! She is amazing! Her emotional phrasing, her range, her facial expressions and body language! She's literally pouring everything she has into her character!!! Beautiful commitment to the number!!!❤👏👏👏👏

She's my fave Angelica. Whenever I think about Satisfied, her performance is what I remember.. Funny how some people here questions Karen. Like you joking? hahaha

I agree, both of them and Renee give Angelica such different interpretations but all of them hurt the same. Renee gives you an emotional and motherly interpretation Emmy gives you a sassy but in her interior, Angelica is just a fragile soul And Karen gives you an Angelica who fakes that she's not interested in Alex, but in her interior, she's feeling a lot of regret and pain

She was Angelica when I saw the musical in Chicago. She’s absolutely incredible.

i don’t think people understand how angelica was originally written for karen since her and lin had natural chemistry in in the heights

I think this Angelica comes off desparate, like she is about to have a nervous breakdown. I think Renne's is more cool under pressure. I prefer the less emotional approach.

Even though Karen’s Angelica is a unique one for sure, I think Renee’s is more accurate since her character is supposed to be the only girl who can relate and keep up with the guys, hence why she’s the only girl that raps. But another cool characteristic that Karen shows is that she makes Angelica seem cool under pressure, but once we get to the rewind sequence, we’re basically traveling back through her memories in her mind so it’s showing how she really feels about the situation.

honestly karen is my favorite angelica. i love the kinda uptight upper class vibe she gives like when she emphasizes “schuyler” when introducing herself. i also love how jittery she seems during the rap and my favorite part is the belting at the end. her voice gets so deep and sounds so regretful and it just gives me chills every time.

I would DIE to see Karen Olivo as Angelica in the full show, she's a legend

Wow. Karen Olivo is amazing. I love this performance.

you can hear the pain in her voice toward the end!! i love the emotion, you really feel the gravity of what she's going through

My dad somehow got tickets right when they extended it so we were in the balcony right in the middle where the actors often looked as a general spot in the crowd, but it felt like they were looking at us every time. King George actually did hold eye contact with me for a solid thirty seconds and then winked and I think that's the second time that I died. When Karen walked on stage at the beginning was the first time I was literally pinching my hand because I didn't believe it was real and had nail prints on my palm for a few days after. When we got back to our hotel that night, I tweeted at Karen that she was amazing and seeing her made me realize how beautiful the world is and how much I would love to be up there doing what she did and she liked my tweet and told me that she was glad I enjoyed the show and to keep on living my best life and that was the best night of my life.

I love this verison of the preformance, you can definitely hear the pain in her voice, especially when she says "to the groom" at the end, so good!!

I saw this performance and really love it ! Everyone on Hamilton cast makes their own performance which makes them unique !

Beautiful. Saw the Cleveland tour, and was astonished. This show is written so well, love seeing other performances and interpretations. Just makes the show that much richer, imo

I heard the soundtrack before I saw the musical and I always though this song was more regretful and painful than when you see how renee elise goldsberry does it. Then I got to see Karen in Chicago do it and I was really crying at the end because wow you felt the pain/hurt from her version so much more.

wow. shes amazing.

Amazing!! Love her!

I find this take interesting. I have always loved the refined way Renee performs satisfied, because it indicated to me that despite her having this inner existential crisis because of her station in life, and her fierce determination to ensure her sister's happiness, she would keep it together, even in her thoughts so as to not reveal her true intention by accident through body language. Olivo's interpretation seems to feel like oh no my mind is my space I can do what I want and I am SCREAMING internally right now. I think they both have merit but I do personally prefer Renee's version.

This version is lovely!

I am one year late.. Karen Olivo is a very talented actress and singer! I loved her as Vanessa from In The Heights! The way she portrays Angelica is stunning in my opinion. The last parts were amazing. In my view, she's trying to let go of her feelings to Alexander, knowing her sister's his wife, and she's certain that Eliza and Alex will have a happy marriage. Idk how to translate thoughts ;-; Reneé is still the most iconic of all the actress who played Angelica, but that doesn't mean the others aren't as good when portraying Angelica 🥲

hER VOICE I CANT- ITS AMAZING HOLY SHIT-

so perfect

Karen Olivo will always be my favorite Angelica!

Karen Olivo!!! FIRE VOICE FOREVER AND EVER... she does a great Angelica
