My favorite Hamilton Rap Genius annotation is on the Schuyler Sisters on the line “in the greatest city in the world” where it’s like “New York wasn’t even the greatest city in the colonies at this point”

[itwontdeletemyaccount-deactivat]

my favorite one is on It’s Quiet Uptown when Alexander says “i know there’s no replacing what we lost” and the annotation says “actually, the hamiltons had another son and named him Philip”

#mine’s a tie between #LYRIC: that’s true!/ANNOTATION: it is not true john adams made it up #and #LYRIC: if alexander can get married there’s hope for our ass after all/ANNOTATION: everyone else has been married for years at this point

After a year of anticipation, Hamilbun finally got see the show and meet the cast

They were all so nice and so sweet and Daveed let out the best laugh at the name “Hamilbun” and also at the fact that this little plush bunny had a beard. And Renée, as she posed for the photo, said in a tiny voice out of the side of her mouth “Why don’t you love me? Why dont you love me” as she held/moved Hamilbun.

@Lin_Manuel: AND YES I ACCIDENTALLY BURST INTO TEARS BECAUSE GAVROCHE DIED BEFORE MY SOLO. IT SNUCK UP ON ME.

My brain always reads  #Lmmedit as “LMM’ed it.”

As in, “Cleanup on aisle 3. This dude LMM’ed it again.”

Carry on.

I woke up this morning to about 50 tweets from…all over the country, saying did you know this is the anniversary of George Washington’s death? To still more tweets from high schoolers with the handle @johnlaurens or, you know, @madisonismyboss, saying did you know this is the 250th anniversary of Alexander and Eliza’s wedding? Which is also true. I could never have anticipated being schooled on history from random high schoolers being one of the legacies of this show.

honestly he honestly starts to cry he loves you guys so much i

‘Hamilton’ cast does a modern version of ‘Wait For It’ tied to current political injustice

“…The Hamilton cast went way, way off book with a performance of the musical’s popular number “Wait For It,” remixed by Kurt Crowley and choreographed by Stephanie Klemons.

Klemons took the show’s modern-day political symbolism and made it literal, beginning with posing the cast in images of struggle and resistance, including the now-famous “Hands up don’t shoot” pose popularized after the shooting of Michael Brown last year in Ferguson, Missouri. The result is a haunting a cappella performance, which the Hamilton cast dedicated “To all we have lost.”

In the show, “Wait For It” is a significant number because it ironically represents historical figure Aaron Burr as a symbol of respectability politics—an ideology of working within an unjust social system rather than rebelling, or refusing to wait for it. In this modern context, the new choreography underscores the hopelessness of marginalized voices who have been waiting far too long for equality…”

New Broadway Musical Allegiance, Starring Lea Salonga and George Takei, Posts Closing Notice

[bookshop]

Guys I said this on Twitter last week but if you have a chance to go see this show and you’re in New York, please, please do. It sucks that this show debuted in the shadow of Hamilton, because it’s an important and beautiful attempt by an Asian-American creative team and ensemble to tell a hugely important piece of American history—the internment of Japanese citizens during WWII—from the perspective of actual Asian-Americans. It’s very much, as Hamilton is, about who lives, who dies, and who tells your story, and it features stellar performances from Glee’s Telly Leung and my hero/idol forever Lea Salonga. So yeah, please do support it while you can. They fought for a long time to bring this show to Broadway and it sucks that it only made it a few months.

[actuallyclintbarton]

It especially sucks that it seems to have gotten drowned out by Hamilton because Lin Manuel Miranda is, from what I’ve seen, DEEPLY supportive of this show.

PLEASE SUPPORT THIS SHOW IF YOU GET THE CHANCE, I’m so sad that it’s closing so soon. :(

Hamilton Cast Voices

Okieriete Onaodowan - A gentle earthquake feeding you chocolate.

Anthony Ramos - The delicious icing and crumbs and cinnamon mixed together in the bottom of the box after you eat a cinnamon roll.

Christopher Jackson - Drinking English Breakfast tea, sitting opposite a waterfall, in a cloud of mist.

Daveed Diggs - If brightly coloured silk could rap.

Renee Elise Goldsberry - Screaming internally with joy while expressing your opinions perfectly using only hand gestures.

Jasmine Cephas Jones - Someone dancing/doing martial arts/icing a cake/assembling complex machinery without ever breaking eye contact with you.

Leslie Odom Jr. - When you crack the egg, and no shell gets in the bowl, and the yolk is a perfect circle, and there isn’t anything floating in it, and then you look down and see that shell split perfectly in half.

Phillipa Soo - The sun rising and setting simultaneously, to the sound of waves crashing against the shore.

Lin Manuel Miranda - Getting in a taxi which then transforms into a MAGICAL FLYING UNICORN, takes you to your destination in seconds, and then disappears after solving all of the world’s problems.

Making videos usually gets tedious after a while. This time, however, I rejoiced in every moment.
