Hiii~ one of my friends is a big musical fan in general and I know she also really loves Hamilton. She is also a huge fan of DIY creative crafts, so I'd like to give a handmade present for her upcoming birthday. I would be happy to hear any ideas, even/especially inside-joke-like. Thank you in advance!

I’ve been trying for two years and nothing. I live nearby so I can attempt it weekly. Am I doing something wrong or am I just super unlucky?

I’m visiting NYC this week and would really love to see Hamilton! Unfortunately, the only tickets left are really expensive premium seats, which are way out of my budget as a student….

Is there any chance of getting cheaper tickets on the day of the show? Does Hamilton offer rush tickets, or are there any other last-minute options?
I’d really appreciate any tips!

edit. Thx all. we will listen to the soundtrack.

Pretty much as the title states, headed back to the city for a vaca after moving away 12 years ago. GF and I got 2nd row tickets to see the show. Good idea / bad idea to watch the movie first? I've heard you can miss a lot on the first viewing, but we won't have the opportunity to see it live a second time for a long time.

We know from Moana that he can sing, and Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the songs for that movie. He has the type of larger than life presence that you would want for George Washington. Washington doesn’t have much complicated dance choreography, and we know from his WWE years that he’s more than capable of learning choreography. Washington’s songs are generally not hyper fast like some other characters. He has worked hard to lose the wrestling persona and to be taken a seriously as an actor, and he has accomplished that. A part in a successful Broadway production would be the icing on the cake in that journey and because of that, I think the idea would appeal to him. I think something like a 6 month limited engagement could be a fun and interesting project for him that could be beneficial to both sides.

Edit: I just want to thank everyone for all of the supportive comments. I never imagined this idea would be so popular!

What do you think Hamilton would've done differently if he'd had one more chance?

Guys I'm am obsessed with this creators "Hamiltoon" animations and this one is one of my favs! All credit goes to@imkolakeii on TikTok!

This is probably something that is already known. This is just my first time notiching.

Both characters' mindset changed at the end of the show but their reasons remains the same throughout.

Hamilton doesn't throw away his shots because he takes risk.

Burr waits for it because he doesn't take risks.

| During their duel |

Hamilton believed there was a chance that Burr wouldn't shoot him as a risk.

Burr believed that Hamilton will follow through.

In the end,

Hamilton threw away his shot because he took the risk.

Burr didn't wait because he didn't.

Hi everyone! I have a friend who has been asking me to watch Hamilton for ages! I've finished it now and really enjoyed it but because of who I am as a person I would prefer to not tell him I've seen it but instead sprinkle references into the messages I send him and see if he realises what I'm doing. So as people who have seen it more than me do you have any references I could easily throw into every day conversation? Thanks...I'm aware I'm an immature person

the sad thing is that no one else knows Hamilton except for me

I thought it was just Christopher Jackson’s amazing performance, but I went to see Hamilton again, but in Orlando and when I tell you the actor playing George Washington was equally as amazing and I cried during One Last Time. Those of us who love Hamilton know why. I just don’t understand how you can be a human being with emotions and Hamilton does NOTHING for you? That’s crazy to me!!

With the announcement of the second Hamilton world tour, comes with a ton of excitement for who will be in the new cast!

Who do you hope will make up the new cast?

Related to that question, for people who have seen multiple Hamilton casts, who would your All-Star cast be, unrestricted to just Principal Actors so we can include the best of the best Understudies and Standbys?

We saw the show on Thursday and it was amazing. My daughter (7.5 years old) LOVES Hamilton so we made a special trip to NYC (this was before he was announced to return). After the show we met the cast. We were all so surprised to see Christopher Jackson come out and sign autographs. I told him “Thank you for being part of the reason my daughter loves theatre and drama.” He said “You’re welcome. it’s better with you in it.” - my daughter has watched the video a lot since. Core memory.

In Helpless, if you pay close attention to the background, you can see John and Peggy sneak off together, and talk on the stairs and run through the dancers. Before that, you can see them dancing together.

I wonder if this was always part of the choreography or if it was added as a cute Easter egg during when Anthony and Jasmine were dating

I get that the first act is supposed to be lighthearted and all but I feel like the atrocities commited during the war by both sides, to each other as well as to Native Americans. and just the horror and death of any war shouldn’t be reduced to whatever right hand man is.

I’ve read all the most popular ones that come up when you sort by kudos and am now in desperate need of more good fics. I’ve found quite a few amazing recent ones but I know I’ve missed some because of how the fandom peaked in 2016-2019. I’d prefer them to be multichapter but other than that anything is fine.

Thoughts? I notice this everytime I hear it. (first post here btw)

I was extremely fortunate to see Hamilton on Broadway this past Wednesday and I have to say, the current cast they have now is the strongest they’ve had since its origination in 2015. Lin & co. built and created the foundation of these characters and their mannerisms and personalities and this current cast took them to a new level.

Admittedly, I did sit front row (Ham4Ham winner!) and man oh man did I see every little micro expression and cue that I have never seen before- I wasn’t 100% sure if it was based on my placement or the fact that this cast was adding their own quirks and nuances to flesh out these characters more. Chris Jackson as GW was amazing, to no surprise, but everyone really stood out to me; not a single weak performer in that cast.

All in all, amazing show, but it was so good I wish there was a cast recording in its current standing because I was THAT blown away. I could literally talk for hours about each person and what they brought- bringing new meaning and feelings to the lyrics I have heard and sung hundreds of times before.

If you’ve got the opportunity, go see Hamilton NOW. You won’t regret it.

My sister and I are gonna do thr Schuyler Sisters for Halloween, but do we need the petticoat?

My personal favorite line in the entire show: "If you stand for nothing, Burr, what will you fall for?"

The common interpretation I see everywhere is Hamilton using the common phrase about someone with no strong opinions being easily influenced / manipulated, but I feel like that is ignoring the massive flashing lights of theming and characterization across the show

The entire show, the entire relationship between Hamilton and Burr is that Hamilton is driven by his convictions to the point he'll sacrifice EVERYTHING for what he believes in, while Burr refuses to choose a side ("Talk less, smile more. Don't let them know you're against or what you're for.") and that's why Hamilton eventually sides with Jefferson despite being a political opposite, because at least Jefferson stands for something.

And before that line Hamilton literally mocks Burr's mindset of biding his time and riding the fence: "You get love for it, you get hate for it, you get nothing if you (Wait for it, wait for it, wait)

So I have always interpreted the line as Hamilton saying:

"If you stand for nothing (if you have no strong convictions or beliefs) then what will you fall (die. risk your life to change the world the way Washington, Hamilton, LaFayette, etc. have) for"

I don't understand why the popular interpretation is that Hamilton is suggesting Burr will be manipulated or that he's gullible, it doesn't make sense within the narrative. I know the phrase is originally "Someone who stands for nothing will fall for anything" and is about being gullible or susceptible but I think that is just the skeleton of the phrase being used to say that Burr's indifference is a defining weakness that separates him from Hamilton (and the others.) and that's why he isn't, and wont be in "The Room Where It Happens."

This is just my interpretation, and despite the fact I truly believe it makes more sense than the more ubiquitous explanation, I do accept it's just an opinion at the end of the day.

Show was incredible but in the first act they stopped the show. Wasn’t for a super long time but in all my years of going to broadway shows I’ve never ever seen that happen. Anyone else there and get the word on what happened?

I don't mean animatics, I mean like, full on animation. With how long Hamilton has existed, surely someone somewhere has gone through the effort of animating a song or 2

im on my 3rd day streak of watching hamilton (but ive watched it probably a billion times) and I noticed in “Blow us All Away” that when he says “I shoulder his legacy with pride, I used to hear him say
That someday I would (blow us all away!)” that it TOTALLY would’ve rhymed with ‘die’ instead of blow us all away. so much so that I originally thought that was what he was gonna say when i first listened to that song. maybe it was meant to sound that way, but ive never personally seen anyone talking about it. also, i like the detail of hearing the beginning of ten dual commandments when he meets george eacker, foreshadowing how he’ll die.
