What is Hamilton?

[turboteal]

Just wanted to let you all know that this thread has resulted in another Ham fan. I listened to the whole soundtrack on Spotify Monday night and can't stop singing it. I will be dutifully entering the online lottery when I'm in New York in a couple weeks. Thanks to whoever posted the annotated lyrics!

That was the most adorable thing I have seen all week! They killed it!

Does your favorite Hamilton song change by the day like mine? Today I'm all about Room Where it Happens, mainly because I am in awe of Leslie Odom, Jr.'s range. Love that guy!

This one and Wait For It are my favorite of the more traditionally sung songs. I don't know if I could pick my favorite hip hop number!

It changes up a lot and i wish i knew how to "make" some of the stream of consciousness mash ups that go along in my head into real songs. I had a helpless mixed with guns and ships for a few days that was pretty interesting.

And can we talk about Burn? I can feel the love hate in the you you yooouuuu line so much it gives me chills.

I love that one.

I get stuck on random lines and have to listen to that song over and over.  Right now, I have "take the bullets out your gun, what, the bullets out your gun, what, we move under cover and we move as one" stuck in my head and I am convinced its the greatest line in the play (I know, such a random one, lol.)

so I keep listening to Yorktown over and over again.

Yorktown is supposed to be amazing on stage.

If i need a hamil-hit during the day i go: guns and ships, yorktown, cabinet 1, cabinet 2, washington on your side and then satisifed.

I also like angelica's "i'm not here for you." Like fuck you A. Ham.

Also also.... "you punched the bursar" gets a groan everytime. I really hope Burr looks at the audience with the sassy "get it?" I have it my head. When i first listened to it, l LOLed and buckled up for the rest of the ride.

I like Angelica's "God I hope you're satisfied". She sounds so pissed off there, it's awesome.

I love the, "Angelica, all the way from London? DAMMMNNN." And then the "ooooh" after Angelica bitch-slaps him in song.

Guns and Ships.

[andwhat]

My favorites are Hercules Mulligan and Lafayette. And I die at the King George songs. I am focused on the wrong people apparently. Ha.

But my absolute favorite line is "we're reliable with the....ladies"

Andplusalso, this is a fantastic soundtrack to work out to. Makes running on the treadmill bearable.

Oh the "never gonna be president now" from the Reynolds Pamphlet should be at debates. "Have you read this?"

One of my great Hamilton parenting fails is that DS refuses to sing this with me in the car on the way to school.

Even with listening to it eleventy five times a day at the request of the dictator Ten Duel Commandments is still awesome.

Determining "your second" is on par with deciding you shuts off your fb account when you die.

I celebrate pretty much every phrase/word/sound Daveed Diggs utters on the soundtrack LOL.

I am dying for an excuse to someday have a reason to say, "I need no introduction - when you knock me down I get the FUCK back up again!"

We are going to see it in June and I'm trying to decide whether or not to convince SO to hang out at the stage door afterward so I can meet him. I wouldn't even know what to say though, lol.

I'm going in July and I'm 100% doing this.

All I want is the selfie of my life. lol

I get nervous just thinking about it!! I have this fantasy where we are in the area for lunch or something and happen to see some of the cast members and have lunch with them. Yes, I'm crazy.

I feel like my woman card needs to be taken away because I love this song so much. It is also how I love "Girls" by the Beastie Boys even though it is like the biggest anti-woman anthem. Something is wrong with me. SMH

I went through a period where I listened to the Billy Elliot (the Musical) soundtrack on the eliptical. I especially enjoyed Angry Dance.

"I'm a trust fund baby, you can trust me."

I love that line, especially after reading the Chernow bio and learning this is something Burr TOTALLY would have said to get under someone's corset.

Where are you taking me?
I'm about to change your life!
By all means, lead the way....

I love so many of the songs. I mean, the whole thing is insanely good start to finish.

I love "Guns and Ships," "Yorktown," "Wait for It," and my god, the Cabinet Battles. C can totally pop out with "GODDAMNED MIND!" It's like her favorite part. She also like, "My...Shot!"

My least favorite song is definitely "What'd I Miss?" I mean, it's still better than most things, but for some reason, I just really don't care for it.

I just love the thought of Thomas Jefferson (who I will always envision as DD in purple because whatever) strolling in being all suave and oblivious like, "oh hey guys I've been in France what's been going on 'round these parts?" Cracks me up every time.

I don't even understand how NOT going to the stage door is an option.

I don't want to be all fan-girly and harass the performers. I'm sure they're tired from the show and just want to get home. But I really want to.

Today was the first day season ticket holders at our theater to upgrade seats. The Hamilton effect is already apparent (it's coming next season), because there was nowhere to upgrade to. There were very, very few available seats at all.

Okay, I moved from row NN to row T but damnit there were better seats available but I couldn't click them and the other seats I wanted, I lost and I didn't have time to check other dates because I started panicking and having flashbacks of not getting Radiohead tickets a few weeks ago and the stupid phone line is busy and I can't make any more adjustments, so now I want to run down the hallway screaming.
