I finally listened the whole thing yesterday.

I'm pretty sure Unimaginable is the saddest song ever written. I almost cried driving to swim lessons last night.

I still cannot listen to that song without crying! UGHH.

Ha H keeps saying "okay we can get tickets" and I'm like, WITH WHAT MONEY lol.  I don't think he realized how expensive they were. 

I looked at the prices for the Chicago production and almost spit out my drink. I knew they would be expensive, but maaaaaan.

I ordered my Hamiltone last night! At first I was sort of mocking the idea, then after looking at Twitter, decided I needed it.

They're not on sale yet, so you're probably seeing scalper prices.

Yeah, it was some type of resale site. Are people expecting many tickets to be available when they go on sale or will they be bought up by the large groups?

Group tickets are sold out, so my guess is these are tickets that were scooped up by scalpers masquerading as groups.

It's why I listen to the first half more.

I can't be all crying all over the place all the time.

It is rather Hamilton-ish but on the other hand -

Which I appreciate.

@bunnybean did you see that LMM included a shoutout in the Hamiltome to mbmbam??? That's so cool!

For me it's the "I know, I know" in Stay Alive. That gets all my parental feels.

I know it's been a full day, but I cannot shake this. The song is called It's Quiet Uptown.

I know, I hate myself. In the course of this thread I've turned into a monster.

Oh, someone misquoted something several pages back, and I sat on my hands about it, but PMed someone to be like, "THIS IS WRONG, THAT IS NOT THE NEXT LINE!" LOL. We're all monsters now.

I know it was me!!!! I realized that after I typed it out and have been embarrassed ever since.

Haha, this is what I get for just listening in the car with no guide.

And I've only made it to 15 songs in to the annotated lyrics page posted earlier. I will catch up!

I spent some time yesterday trying to find a link between my family and the Schuylers. They were both in the same area at the same time but so far I have not succeeded. I'm just going to pretend that Angelica, Eliza (and Peggy!) are my 10x great-aunts or something. 

Mine was too - also Dutch. Maybe we're at least related to each other! That's how my family is connected to Martin Van Buren and John Jacob Astor IV, anyway.

Also, this is going to be the new make up thread. We need a Hamilton board!

I would PW the crap out of a Hamilton board.

DS asked me "what time is it?" before school today. In my head I responded "SHOWTIME!"

I do this out loud EVERY SINGLE TIME.  It's a big improvement over "It's time for lunch!" from Bubble Guppies.  DD does it, too.

[otowngirl]

Yeah, I got a spam e-mail at work that started with, "I hope this message finds you well," and I started humming "Say No to This." Mainly so I could say the, "UH OH! You made the wrong sucker a CUCKOLD" line because it's one of my favorites.

I now spell a-u-n-t-i-e in the same cadence when talking to me niece. I haven't quite gotten to fake lyrics yet.

I was telling G the other night that I'm most excited to see the guys who play Aaron Burr and George Washington. she was a bit confused and said "wait, not Alexander Hamilton?" Then I showed her pictures.

her response? "Oh! I get it now!!" and then "Hey mom, you ever notice that African American guys can really pull off having almost no hair?" lol.

[thebulldog]

I think we can have a whole thread alone about the masterpiece of a man that is Daveed Diggs.

"Election of 1800" is so great because there are so many random Daveed sounds. "Whaaaat." "Uh huh. (ridiculing Burr)" "You hear this guy?" "CUZ I'M THE PRESIDENT."

[thebulldog]

I like how at the end of act 1 we say goodbye to Lafayette so Daaveed can bring the TJ in the 2nd act

While i would live to see LMM as A.Ham. I am nore focused on seeing D. Diggs before he goes Goff.
