I'm not sure if you answer these kinds of questions but I was wondering what a good 30 second cut of 'Burn' from Hamilton would be?

I don’t think Burn is really a viable song to cut.  It’s a story song in every meaning of the word, and so by cutting it, you lose the purpose of the song.  You need that full build for the song to make sense, in my opinion.

Hi there! Is there a name for that thing that singers do with their voices that's kinda like a trill/riff thing but not really? Examples are like in 'Burn' when she says "mine" (there are other examples but I can't really think of them at the moment) ^_^ Sorry if someone's asked you this before or it's really obvious, but I've never really heard it called anything so I was curious

Yeah, it’s kind of like a vocal trill, but in more of a pop styling.  I’m not sure if there is another separate word for it in the pop world, other than a riff or trill!

Hello it's me again XD I was just curious if there was a reason why Grantaire likes/wears green? Was it something from the book or was it just a costume designer thing that just sort of stuck?

Oh, it’s totally a costume design thing! Largely based on the stage/movie costumes. As far as I’ve been able to track, it went like this: 

Enjolras, in the stage musical, wears red. A good dramatic color for the stage, something easy to see and track, and , of course, symbolically linked with revolution for a long time! (Book Canon Enjolras, severe and reserved, would probably have worn a red  waistcoat approximately never. It’s actually associated with Bahorel in brick canon for a lot of reasons, one of them being to stress just how extremely outspoken and borderline reckless he is. But stage costuming of course needs its own rules and design, and I for one love the xylophone , so I am not protesting!) 

-I don’t know when exactly Grantaire started wearing green, or mostly green-- though SOME green is definitely there by the 25th anniversary concert, on Hadley Fraser’s outfit (his undershirt, though, more than his waistcoat, which seems odd, but again: the stage costume historical accuracy is pretty Whatever, you know?).  If anyone can give a definite First Appearance of Grantaire in Green that would be appreciated!

- Les Mis 2012 put Grantaire in green for sure. 

The interesting thing to me is that I think this is based on the canon association of Grantaire and Enjolras with complementary colors (”a skeptic adhering to a believer is as simple as the law of complementary colors”). Green is of course a complementary color to red; so by assigning Enjolras a (non-book) color association, it led the way for Grantaire to get his own (non-book-specified) color association *in keeping with the book description*. Interesting! And pretty cool, I think. 

Also, it cracks me up, because the one time we ARE given specific info about Grantaire’s clothes (in Enjolras and His Lieutenants), it’s because Grantaire’s gone and gotten his Robespierre waistcoat...which he says in Enjolras’ ear is red, as part of evidence of how totally SRS he is about the Barriere du Maine mission. Which is amusing because it turns the musical colors on their head, of course, but more importantly

Grantaire apparently thinks dressing like Bahorel will impress Enjolras  and just 

Grantaire no 

 and I am sure that is way more info and speculation than you wanted for a question I could have answered with “no, it’s a stage thing” and I am sorry! But please take a moment to consider Grantaire trying to win over Enjolras with a Bahorel cosplay and boggle with me.
