    Fun Fact: Eliza runs in to Phillip's death scene wearing black because (in the play) she had just come from Peggy's funeral. Historically, Peggy died in March, the same year Phillip died in November.

    Fun fact: Lin has said that Eliza’s gasp at the end is up to interpretation, but my favorite theory is that when Hamilton is leading her to the front of the stage, it isn’t Alexander, it is Lin. He is showing her the audience. He showed her that Hamilton’s story was told and she is overwhelmed.

I also like to think that Alexander may have been whispering in Lins ear to get his story told. Around the time lin was writting it the treasury department was considering changing the picture on the ten dollar bill. Cant you just hear Alexander saying...."they are NOT taking me off that money!!!!"

    Crazy thing is, besides the duel, Burr wasn’t a bad person. Duels were common then, so it wasn’t like just randomly shooting, it was a consensual gun fight. Burr was anti slavery, pro woman. Made sure his daughter was educated in a time that was rare. He did and stood for a lot of good things. Sucks this is how we remember him. Neither Burr nor Hamilton were perfect men.

    another sad chapter in burr's story, after the duel, escaped to the frontier land, accused of plotting to create another country in the west and charged with treason. He was expatriated, and exiled to Europe for some years, the was allowed to return to NY in 1812. Initially his daughter Theodosia was to rejoin him but she was taken ill and could not make the trip. Later in 1812, it was planned that she would be taken by ship, The Patriot, to NY from South Carolina, where she lived with her husband (the then appointed governor). The Patriot, was lost at sea with all hands, and souls aboard, never seen or heard from again.

    And Lin used it brilliantly to characterize them. When Eliza counts, she counts in a subdued series of notes. She believes in maintaining a certain amount of wise reservation. Philip keeps breaking into a major key around "seven" because he wants to blow us all away and rise up like his father. Ultimately, he realizes the folly in this when he dies from being shot on count seven and apologizes for not listening to her and changing the melody she taught him.

    Washington had a complicated relationship with the slave system. He was born into the slave-owning aristocracy, but during the Revolution came into contact with men like Hamilton and Laurens who thought slavery was wrong (though Laurens was also born into the slaveholding class and Hamilton, though born poor, married into it), and also saw black men volunteer for the Continental Army and fight for America's freedom. As president he signed a renewal of the Northwest Ordinance banning slavery north of the Ohio River into law, and as a private citizen he wrote a clause into his will freeing his slaves after both he and his wife died. But he also never completely got past that aristocratic attitude he'd started with, so while he agreed that the people he owned deserved to be free he also felt they had to be free on HIS terms and HIS timetable, and he cracked down hard on any who tried to take their freedom before he was ready to give it. I think Washington deserves a lot of credit for at least partly moving past the racist pro-slavery attitudes he was taught as a kid, but I recognize that he didn't entirely leave those values behind. He grew and he changed, but he didn't complete that transformation.

It was free because she thinks everyone has the right for an education. And everyone tries to slander Alexander's name, she will fiercely defend his honor despite his faults. Truly a wonderful and strong woman!

    Good facts to know about the show: - The girl who had her neck snapped, she’s the omen of death in the show. They call her the Bullet, as you see her holding Burr’s bullet that kills Hamilton. She’s with Laurens killing soldiers before he dies, she tells Philip where to find George Eacker (the guy who kills him), etc. - Hamilton payed James Reynolds $25,000 - You’ll notice Hamilton is much more malicious when his story is coming from Burr’s perspective. Burr was hellbent that Hamilton was out to ruin his political career, when Hamilton was just taking the opportunities to better the country/better himself where he saw. Burr has a lot of animosity towards Hamilton. Burr “waiting for it” was waiting for his time, where it wouldn’t ruin his career. Burr was jealous that Hamilton just kept taking and taking and he still managed to get where Burr wanted to be. - During the last duel, when you ask yourself “what went wrong?”, realize Hamilton threw away his shot and Burr didn’t wait for it.

    The bullet- Her name is Ariana DeBose! She is incredible. And about Hamilton vs Burr- Hamilton slandered Burr constantly. Their discourse that lead to this was actually MUCH longer than this- Hamilton was quoted multiple times by newspapers as privately talking badly about Burr. Burr then wrote to him confronting him about the rumors. The nature of the duel is actually widely debated. It is unknown if Hamilton shot his gun directed at Burr and missed, or if he shot into the air, as no one actually saw it. It is also debated on whether Hamilton was trying to kill Burr or if he was purposefully trying to agitate him into shooting- Hamilton brought his guns that he had tampered with to have a hair trigger, causing them to fire faster, he did wear his glasses, and he also had paced the terrain a few times. It's funny, so much of the details surrounding Hamilton's life in general are a mystery, much of it is guess work.

    Fun Fact: The girl with the floofy hair that has reaccuring scenes such as her neck being snapped for being a spy, talking to Phillip, and fighting with John Laurens is an unsaid character called the Bullet, or alternatively, the Omen of Death. Each scene she directly interacts with a character such as John Laurens and Phillip Hamilton ends up with them being dead. Alexander is the only one with the sixth sense to sense her as he sings that one verse in My Shot. Ariana Debose, the woman who plays her, didn't know she was playing such an important character until the duel scene.

    I know this is my second comment but hear me out... Christopher Jackson (actor playing Washington) struggled with the fact he was a slave owner throughout the time he was playing the character, and this is reflected in "Who lives who dies who tells your story". After he is near Eliza when she says how she raised funds for him, he continues to look on as she says "I speak out against slavery". In the background of this shot, you can see he bows to Eliza, with this being a touch added by Chris that makes me cry every time I notice it, signifying something about Washington's complicated relationship with slavery.

    It's a good reminder that the men who founded this nation weren't perfect. Most of them realized slavery was wrong and they even spoke out about it, and wrote about it, but chose to put the uniting of fractured states into a single nation ahead of choosing to do something about slavery. Were they right or wrong for that? There will always be fierce and warranted debate. It's part of our story. I know Washington was the only Founder to free his slaves upon his death. He tried to get Martha's kids (his step kids) to free theirs but they didn't.

Additionally, unlike today or even 50 years after the constitution; the balance of power in the colonies resided in the South - particularly Virginia. So what do you do? Damned if you do allow slavery and damned if you don't. One thing I see mentioned as a black mark against the founding fathers is blacks only counting as a 3/5th vote, as if they are only 3/5th a person. However the real story is much more complicated. The south wanted each slave to count as a vote even though slaves would obviously never be allowed to vote. The abolitionist states knew this was obviously wrong to give more voting power to states who had slaves, which would in turn give them more power to perpetuate the wrongs of slavery. So the infamous compromise stating a slave was worth 3/5th a vote was the compromise to curtail the power of the south's inflated population due to slavery and had little to do with how the founding father's viewed the worth of African-American lives.

    @@RockChalk263 is correct. It's also worth pointing out that free blacks counted equally with whites in apportioning House seats, and that free blacks could vote in many states in the 1780s, at least if they met the same property-owning qualifications that applied to whites. And that wasn't just in northern states, either -- some southern states initially had black suffrage, too. North Carolina didn't strip its small property-owning free black population of the vote until the 1830s. And a couple of northern states that originally had black suffrage got rid of it too.

    You missed the point of Washington singing "one last time". He could've stayed in office as long as he wanted but he felt America being a new country needed to have a choice like they didn't have under king george. He's basically the reason you have presidents serve 2 terms. He didn't step down because he was tired. He felt the new form of government should be the choice of the people on who serves.

    I know a lot of people were wondering what Eliza's gasp at the end meant... I'm not sure if you were one of those people, but I enjoy this theory a lot. When Lin-Manuel steps behind Eliza in "Who Live, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story" (the finale), he is no longer playing Alexander Hamilton, he is "playing" himself. He leads Eliza downstage, she looks up and she gasps. See looks up and sees the audience which shows that she sees that Lin wasn't only telling Hamilton's story, but he was telling Eliza's as well. So she lived, she died and Lin told her story... (it doesn't have to just be Lin as well... the fact that she looks out at the audience proves that she now knows that people know her story)

At the same time, many people on the far-left see this country as nothing more than the systemic racism that's baked into it. The truth is that America was created with higher ideals in mind, and the people in our history were just human beings with flaws like everyone else. Their flaws do not negate the nobility of what they were aiming for, what we're still aiming for today.

The second oldest Angelica Hamilton was so traumatized by Philips death that her mind reverted back to childlike state. She had to be taken care of for the rest of her life. They named one of their last kids Phillip Jr after their deceased son. Arron Burr after serving his time as Vice President put himself in banishment and traveled Europe for a few years and finally came back to America where he found love for the first time since his wife died. He got remarried and four months later a divorce was filed. Who was the wife’s lawyer? ALEXANDER HAMILTON JUNIOR! Burr passed away the day the divorce was finalized.

    My favorite ‘tidbit is: when Eliza says she raised funds for the Washington monument, George Washington beams but as soon as she says she fought against slavery his face drops and he hangs his head in shame. Both Washington and Eliza grew up in homes with slaves . Eliza set the slaves free when she married Hamilton, the first time she legally could. Washington though continued to profit from slavery. In the end the actor shows Washington as feeling shame for his actions while seeing Eliza working against a flawed system she once was apart of.

    Another fun fact: Lin used the different musical styles very intentionally to create certain meanings. King George's song is meant to be a 60's "Beatles-esque" British Invasion song because it suggests that Brittan is stuck all the way back in the thinking of the 60's whereas America has already moved on to late 80's rap. This is done again when Jefferson sings his introduction song "What Did I Miss" which is a Jazz number that doesn't have him rapping at all because Jefferson has just been in France and has no idea what the revolution in America has actually looked like. Later in the show he evolves to rapping in the Cabinet Battles because he is catching up to speed with the current political era. We also see this with Lafayette as he goes from a very simple rap cadence in his first intro to spitting out those triple time bars in "The Battle of Yorktown." This show is so fucking good.

    Because I'm a nerd I looked into the history a bit and here is some interesting info. Hamilton nearly had a duel with James Monroe. He went to meet with him and took his brother-in-law, John Barker Church (Angelicas husband) just incase it got so heated it would turn into a duel then and there and he needed a second. Aaron Burr accompanied James Monroe and ended up talking both men down stating a duel is stupid, one or both may die and it would kill their political careers. (Eliza actually talked him into giving a fully apology) Later John Church (Hamilton's bro-in-law) did actually have a duel with Aaron Burr with his family set of pistols. He managed to catch Aaron's cape but not harm was done. It was these same pistols Phillip used in the duel that killed him (at the same dulling grounds as his Uncle had dulled with Aaron Burr). These were also the same pistols at the same duelling ground that Hamilton and Burr used in the duel that killed him. This duel also destroyed Burr's political career (he also got framed for espionage with Spain or something like that) Years (and I mean a lot of years) later the Smithsonian Institute examined these pistols that were passed down through companies started by the Hamiltons and then bought by a company that originated from Burr (ironically), and they found these pistols were rigged to cheat. They had a mechanism (hair trigger) where you push the trigger forward and the gun fires earlier. Burr would not have known this but Hamilton would have. It's uncertain if Hamilton aimed high on purpose or not, some think he activated the cheating trigger early hence why it fired high but we won't ever know for sure. The Reynolds pamphlet. There is more to it that the show has time to tell. James Reynolds was arrested for some dodgy money stuff, so to try and weasel his way out he said 'Hamilton knew about and was totally in on this embezzling scheme'. Three went to confront him (one of whom was James Monroe) and Hamilton told them the truth to clear his name of embezzling (which as the secretary of the treasury, it would have ruined his political career). They promised to keep the secret of the affair and said nothing about it. But then a newspaper published an article that Hamilton was in fact embezzling. So to save his political career he published the Reynolds pamphlet, which ruined his reputation and also his chances of ever being President, but it saved his political career. Fun fact: Hamilton had 8 children in total and most share names with his family members Philip (Elizas father) Angelica Alexander James Alexander (his Father was called James A. Hamilton and his brother was James) John Church (Angelicas husband) William Stephen (Stephen was Peggy's Husband) Eliza Phillip (after his older brother as he was born a year after other Phillip died) Thank for coming to my TED talk

In that moment, regardless of the horrible things Washington did, it portrayed him as a tired man who just wants to live the rest of his life peacefully. I love it so much ugh. EDIT: I almost forgot!! If you notice, Eliza never raps throughout the whole play. She beatboxes. And this was to signify that Eliza isn't in a rush, she's not in a hurry to do something. Which is something Hamilton did do. However, Angelina does rap and that was to symbolize that Angelica was perfect for Alex in the the way that she can keep up with him. Eliza beatboxes as a way to show she supports Hamilton. Just thought that would be cool to know. Also my favorite songs are: Satisfied Wait for It The room where it happens One last time Quiet uptown World was wide enough WLWDWTYS And the part in take a break where Angelica and Eliza overlap their vocals

    What I find so tremendously moving about Hamiliton, is that the historical figures of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Jay, Adams, Hamilton, and the entire group of white men who wrote the Declaration of Independence, wrote the Articles of Confederation, the Federalists Papers and the Constitution, wrote words they did not know the meaning of. They were slave owners who wrote about equality, opportunity, and representation. And Hamilton is a celebration of the work of that historic past, and the power of those words, created and performed by the very individuals our founders could least imagine as their inheritors. It is a celebration of the past, by a future they could not have imagined at all, but is the true meaning of those words. A stunning cultural achievement.

    Wow, that is so *Beautiful* to recognize something like that.... they set forth a series of events that would shine light on the true meaning of those words, which were beyond their comprehension.... how powerful just the notion of truth or liberty can be to contemplate. That reminds me of the sentiment I find so beautiful at the end with Burr, that the world is truly *wide enough* ..... as they touched on in the outro. ❤💙💚🕊✊🏿✊🏾✊🏼✊🏻💙💚🧡💛❤ stand for what's right, but give up the fight that is not worth having. ☮ Peace to everyone and best wishes for a new year 💜!

    Watch it again, you’ll find a lot of amazing things every time. Try to identify the bullet, and how she (the bullet) misses Hamilton the first time. She has some kind of contact with every character that dies, usually in the scene before they die. I’ve seen the musical twice live (one of them in Puerto Rico with Lin performing as Hamilton); I can guarantee you that although the theater experience brings something amazing, the tv experience is just as great as the theater, plus, you can actually see their faces and reactions, which is just amazing. Now, make sure you look up into the real history of this story, in the end, this is just a musical, not everything portrayed here was real. There was never “something” happening between Angelica and Hamilton; Hamilton was closer to Peggy, but she died pretty young, hence why you don’t see her again in Act 2; Jasmine comes back as Maria Reynolds and does an amazing job. Also, the Schuyler sisters had brothers, they were a big family. Great video reaction!

    I used to know some songs of Hamilton, and then, last year I started to investigate and search the lyrics (I'm chilean, so even when I can listen, write and speak some English language, I still need help with some words and some expressions), all this, because I wanted to understand the real meaning of the whole show. But then, my country started to live changes, people started to get tired of injustice, and started to claim for justice, equality and real democracy, and I get that feel that be patriotic sound wrong, but in that chaotic times, I started to listen Hamilton, and I used to cry every time, because I felt identified with the sensation that we have to change things, and rise up, and raise a glass to freedom, 'cause is something they could never take away, no matter what they tell us, or do with us, like get shot in our eyes, tortured, and killed by the cops, and I think that the fact that we want to change our system, and have a fairer country, and be willing to fight, scream, and even die for it, is the most patriotic thing we can do, and I think that is what this musical represents, at least, for me.

Too often, men are afraid to cry or show emotion because they mistakenly believe it would mean they're "weak" -- so it's refreshing to see a guy so comfortable and authentic with his emotions.

    so this is what i had missed when i didnt see this video lol, imo, the reason he works non stop is cause if he waits for it, he will throw away his shot, plus he needs music to stay alive and not burn to death, hence why he always blows us all away with his incredible work, and we know we never want him to sing for one last time, but when that day comes, i will forever be satisfied by his work and left helpless by his music, i mean who could say no to any of his music? i mean what comes next? hes done so many things thats why i know him so well, i wish he wants a right hand man, so that one day i could be in the room where it happens, so that if a hurricane tries to hurt lin, ill be there to protect him, ill provide him with guns and ships, and remind and always tell him that history has its eyes on you, honestly i dont think the world was wide enough for lin, thats why if he does retire one day, ill always hope and say every night that youll be back lin, i really hope he knows that he has no control on who lives, who dies,who tells his story, and if you want me to, i would have the honor to be your obediant servant lin, i hope one day people will tell of the story of tonigt where i write this comment, and i hope to grow up to be like my idols, alexander hamilton, the schuyler sisters, aaron burr, sir, and like my father once said, once a farmer refuted the fact that washington was on your side lin, and just like the election of 1800, i will always want you to wear a tie, and always remember that your wife is one of if not the best of wives and women lin, and like the old saying, if a schuylers defeated, you have to rise up and be brave, and if one day a cabinet battle is televised, i know ill see u there lin, cause all i want is for you to never give up, cause that would be enough, once i was at a winters ball, and i saw you lin, you were reading a book about the ten duel commandments, and someone yelled at you and told you to meet them inside, so you left, but like the battle of yorktown, i won that night, cause i got to see your face, and just like my dear theodosia whos my wife, never take a break lin, know that you have millions of fans, and like the adams administration, yes times could be tough, but always fight for what u believe lin, i read something called the reynolds pamphlet once, it taught me to go some where, it taught me to go uptown, and when i did, i was surprised on how it was quiet uptown, and with that im pretty sure i have one last song that i havent mentioned and its hard to find a pun for this one so imma just say it, LAURENS INTERLUDE

    I find 7:10 one of the most powerful moments in the musical, because Burr has always been a neutral guy who just waits and holds his card to his chest, so him actually pursuing something for a change, saying it hesitantly at first but then louder and more powerful was such a moment.

In fact, one time I went for a long walk with the soundtrack on my iPod and was jamming to all the uptempo songs... totally forgetting about the devastation that is "It's Quiet Uptown" until the song started playing. And there I am, trying not to ugly cry in the middle of the streets of my neighborhood so I don't freak out my neighbors, LOL. It was a challenge. Also, beautifully put, what you said at the end about what we could all achieve if only we realized the world is wide enough for all of us.
