@@chamo_tito in this very song. at first there is the jefferson section "Thomas claims..." and then it shows madison's point of view of the conversation "Meanwhile..." and it's the same conversation because you can see from the choreography they made the same steps (madison taps his temple) and then at the end when Burr says "No!" after they talk about putting the Capital in Potomac it's when he takes position at the conversation with Hamilton that occurred on the beginning. You can see it's the same because Hamilton turns around the same way he did to say "Decisions are happening over dinner". So it's basically that first scene of the song - Burr and Hamilton talking, Madison and Jefferson calling him to the dinner - stretched to show the different points of views and what's at stake

0:37-0:42 The ensemble members are given chairs, and almost sit down like in “Wait For It”, where Burr is surrounded by ensemble members in chairs. But at the last second, they stand up and kick away the chairs, signifying thar Burr is no longer waiting for it and is going to go for what he wants. Incredible choreography

One of the things I love about this musical is that it constantly reminds you that everything we see is from a certain point of view, and therefore potentially biased, especially in this song. The whole point is that nobody knows what happened in that room, and they emphasise that by repeating ‘Thomas claims’. And in ‘Say no to this’ Burr starts off with the narration, but then let’s Hamilton tell the rest - reflecting the fact that eventually it was Hamilton himself that revealed to the world what happened, with the Reynolds Pamphlet. It’s so clever!

"A hero is a hero, but everyone loves a good villain." -Ferb Fletcher, Phineas and Ferb. Yeah, that's the Disney quote I went with. In all seriousness, Leslie being the strongest part really elevates the musical, considering he narrates most of the key events even when Burr isn't present (acting as a narrator in many songs, notably the first and the last, without really explicitly playing Aaron Burr in either) and explictly causes many of the others. Lin stated that he intentionally gave the most difficult songs to Leslie and actually made them more involved to match his talent, if I recall correctly, and he pulls them off hard. It's hard not to sympathise with him, and he acknowledges his fate as the villain in history during his final big song, the penultimate song in the musical at that. Fittingly, since the musical is ended out by Eliza, the woman that outlived every character seen on stage.

Every moment with Leslie Odom Jr. on stage is treasure. He makes you feel everything you should feel toward an antagonist but also makes you feel the very emotions the character feels.

I have replayed this song so many times. The scurry around to the table gets me every single time.
