compilation of tgm moments that just fucking take me out

[cortexiphanolivia]

Here’s some fun facts about one of my favorite stories being told in Hamilton: this is Ariana Debose, who plays a special role within the ensemble known as The Bullet. She’s killed for suspected espionage right after You’ll Be Back, and is the first one to die (not counting Hamilton’s mother or cousin who hangs himself). After this moment, she becomes an omen of death. At the beginning of Stay Alive, she carries a shot that narrowly avoids hitting Hamilton. In Yorktown, she helps Laurens kill a redcoat, shakes his hand, then Laurens is the next to die. In I Know Him, she’s the one bringing the message to King George about John Adams and symbolically heralding the impending doom of Hamilton’s political career. During Blow Us All Away, she’s the one who tells Phillip where to find George Eacker, (and flirts with him! Phillip is literally flirting with death!) then Phillip is the next to die. In Your Obedient Servent, she brings the desk on stage and hands Burr the quill to write the first of several letters that will eventually lead to Alexander Hamilton’s death. During the final duel, she again catches a bullet (fired by Burr), and if you watch her, she gets closer and closer to hitting Hamilton while he’s doing his soliloquy until Eliza pops onto stage. At this point, The Bullet is stopped by other members of the ensemble, the time freeze is abandoned, and we all know what happens‬ next. (soure: JC Payne)

Keep an eye on her, she is going to be Anita in the remake of West Side Story and Alyssa in the film adaption of the musical The Prom. And she is a prominent

We stan a talented, beautiful triple threat in this house!

[tis-i-bat-anon]

I didn’t even notice she showed up before every death-

holy shit-

[tema-time]

Let me tell you something else about her. I was a stagehand on the show Donna Summer musical where she played donna in her 20’s ish. We worked together for 3 months and she is an AMAZING human.

Not only can she sing, dance and act but she is smart and kind. She stood up for the stagehands when they were driving us and not giving us our breaks. She walked into meetimg with the directors and went off on them and refused to go back onstage for rehearsal till we got our breaks. She talked to us and was funny and kind and sweet and made me feel like I mattered to the show. When high schoolers came in and they were doing a Q and A some of them wanted to be stage hands and they were asking stagehand questions, and when the guy in charge told her we werent allowed to go out to talk to them, she put her foot down again. It was surreal, I’m used to being ignored so I just couldnt believe it. And when we were allowed to go out and answer questions she and the other actors got off their chairs to sit on the ground so we had a place to sit.

To be honest, shes so wonderful, kind, smart, talented funny and beautiful I had the HARDEST time talking to her, I couldnt get up the courage to do it for two weeks until she started talking to me.

I will always support and stan the shit out of this woman. I’m so excited and proud to see where she goes. She deserves so much.

I hope to see her again someday <3

Come on, kid, rule number one: if no one saw it, it didn’t happen

[loving-jack-kelly]

I’m telling you nothing ever has or ever will hit quite as hard as the bombs fading into the drumbeat at the start of Just Like It Was Before and then the drumbeats coming back in Right This Way while the lighting flashes back to what it was while Michael died, providing an auditory and visual glimpse into Donny’s head while he thinks he’s failed Michael, and the band slowly coming together until finally, they’re all singing in complex harmonies, each bringing their individuality to the table in a way that came together to form one strong unit, and Donny pulling himself up by the music until he can stand and declaring that he deserves something good, that he and Julia and all of them have been through enough, they deserve this. All while Michael’s drumbeat plays behind them, reminding them of what they’ve lost but also driving them forwards. God.

Some things from Erika’s last show

I made one of these posts for Taylor’s last show so here it is for Erika’s because it was a special night at the August Wilson.

There were tears all night and so much applause and the audience was so into the whole show.

Erika looked so happy to be onstage and watching her friends every chance she got a chance to watch them.

At the end of Where Do You Belong, when they Grey hooks his arms around Barrett and Erika and they sing “here’s where you belong,” Grey sang it directly to Erika instead of singing out like I’ve seen before.

Barrett took every excuse to be extra touchy with both Erika and Grey.

Erika optioned up during Fearless and it was so so good.

She and Kate were doing a little dance behind the ensemble during the dance break.

Erika took every chance she got to have connections with the ensemble onstage but two of my favorite moments were with Curtis and Collins.

During Whose House, after Curtis helped Erika down from the couch, he held onto her for longer than usual and they broke apart laughing.

During Do This Thing, Erika and Collins shook hands for an extra moment and Erika mouthed “love you” to her before they broke apart.

I have never heard Kyle say “I like watching you be awesome” with more conviction than he did last night.

In the bathroom scene, Renee was acting more high on drugs than usual as they tried to get through the scene without crying.

The cast gave her extra applause when she got up onstage after Cady was announced Spring Fling Queen.

Erika was really emotional during the I See Stars speech and sang the whole song with so much conviction.

After the first chorus Erika and a few of the ensemble yelled “nice” as an inside joke.

The tears were real. Every time Erika connected with someone (all the time in this song) the tears were very real. You could see Kate wiping away her tears.

The cast did the usual squat and drum roll for Erika’s bow.

Tina came out with flowers for Erika.

The entire cast surrounded her and chanted her name during the play off, including the swings, standbys, and some previous cast members like Jennifer Simard and Myles McHale (who’s out on leave right now, I believe). Ashley Park made it after her show tonight and ran down one of the aisles to take video of Erika’s bow.

Erika was so generous at the stage door, as she has been every time I’ve seen her there. My favorite thing was that there was a dad there whose daughter had been planning on coming but was too sick. He still came and waited at the stage door so Erika could talk to his daughter over FaceTime and they all took a FaceTime selfie.

I’ve been lucky enough to see this show on Broadway 6 times now and I’ve never seen a Cady cover so Erika has been Cady for all of those shows. It is genuinely hard for me to imagine this show without her but I was so lucky to be at the August Wilson last night. Erika is going places and I can’t wait to watch it happen.

Happy trails, Erika!
