Dont know what else to say, sums it all up perfectly.

I’m kind of bored and wanna hear what you guys say

For me it’s a tossup between wait for it, if the World was wide enough, and satisfied

Here's what I think:

Anne Boylen- Say No to This

Kathrine Parr- Who Live Who Dies Who Tells your Story

Kathrine of Aragon- Burn

Idk about the others, but I want to spark discussion.

There’s a slow part sung by Thomas Jefferson in What’d I Miss (starts around 58 seconds in this video) from Hamilton. I love that style of music but haven’t had success finding songs that channel that slow style of music and singing. Is there a name for that genre, or other songs that channel that musical style?

U.S government is the subject were learning about and im using multiple song to help me memorize and all major marks are checked so far so neat huh

I just had an idea for a TDP song parody! I was listening to Alexander Hamilton and thought "What if the citizens of Xadia sung about Callum, Rayla, and Ezran as if they're telling a tale about 3 legendary kids (and an animal companion) who changed Xadian history?" BROOOO WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?!

Even though it makes me cry and makes me very angry at men, it’s still amazing and there is so much emotion and anger and sadness in elizas voice, it’s beautiful

Ok… please don’t say ‘You’ll be back’ I don’t think it’s a true villain song cause in the context of the musical, King George III is not that important. So I think Aaron Burr is the villain and his villain song is ‘Wait for it.’ It’s in the first act so it’s set up for everything else he does in the musical. And the line “wait for it” comes back in multiple songs. So that’s my pick, I want to hear yours.

Hello! This is my first post on here, so what better first post than something I've had ready since summer last year.

I'll cut to the chase:

'The Room Where It Happens' is the best song in Hamilton.

Now look, I'm not saying 'Satisfied' doesn't have genius lyrics, or that 'Guns and Ships' isn't blindingly fast, or that 'My Shot' doesn't represent Hamilton's character perfectly, but I personally believe that 'The Room Where It Happens', taking into account the choreography, the performances, and the rest of the show leading up to it, is the best musical number in Hamilton.

I promise I have good reasons
(I wouldn't've made a whole ass subreddit about essays and analyses if I didn't lol)

Here we go:

Part 1: Bum Bum Bum Ba Bum Ba Bum!

Let's start off with something simple:

When you're listening to The Room Where It Happens, the first thing that immediately jumps out at you is the style of the music, and especially that intro. It's just so different from everything else in the show, and it makes the song so much more memorable. There's a reason you remember You'll Be Back or What'd I Miss - those number just stand out so much, and for good reason too.

These style choices were very deliberate, and always represent the character singing. What'd I Miss is very specifically 50s-60s rock instead of the 80s-90s Hip-Hop that Hamilton & Co. have been using for almost all of act 1 - it shows just how much Jefferson has missed, and how behind the times he really is. You'll Be Back takes this to the extreme, with a classic, regal atmosphere that shows just how stuck in the past Britain was (and still is tbh).

The Room Where It Happens does this too - it's a slick, jazzy, showtune, which stands out against the rest of the show and, importantly, emphasises how behind Burr is - remember that he's been waiting and waiting for most of the show at this point while Hamilton and his friends have been blazing forwards. So now, he's so behind that his style of music is completely different from everyone else.

And the final cherry on top: Burr goes right back to rap in the very next number, Schuyler defeated. Chef's Kiss

Part 2: Two Virginians and an Immigrant

Here we go. Here's the meat:

Without a doubt, one of the biggest strengths of The Room Where It Happens is it's storytelling. It starts off from Burr's perspective, where the general events of the meeting are laid out. This is brilliant because it's enough to give us useful context, but only just t

I have recently been listening to the Hamilton workshop (from may 2014) and its so cool to hear the original draft of songs before it got to stage and hearing the changes that were made. But i wonder why they changed or removed songs entirely because i think they were better than the ones that came out on stage. For example i absolutely love the original one last time to the one that got released and really wished let it go could of stayed. Does anyone else have any songs that they prefer or do you prefer the songs that got changed later on.

View Poll

Just something I realized today that is all. what do you think?

https://strawpoll.com/acyxv6g5z

(By continuation in the poll, I mean the songs like Aaron Burr, Sir and My shot, where the second song happens at the same place, or at least the transition between songs)

Was there a political scandal in Albany regarding corruption sometime in the late 1700s? Was Hamilton somehow involved? I know that the musical has a lot of issues in regards to historical accuracy, but I was hoping that maybe there might be a bit more to this than a throwaway line. The song also mentions the Levi Weeks case, but that might not be helpful timeline-wise because within the context of the musical it's before the Constitutional Convention of 1787 and the murder trial took place in 1800.

I have an audition on Friday for a singing role, Ive been inbetween songs for the past two weeks but i decided ‘Burn’ fit my vocal range well and thought it would be a good song to sing, however i have been reminded my performing arts group is PG only, and Burn is not considered PG. Does anyone know of any songs similar vocally but more appropriate i could sing for my audition.

The song has to be from a musical or a film as the theme of the show is film night, thanks :)

I'm trying to see if there's a full song available from season 1, episode 6 (The lazy lizard school of hedonism) of Hamilton's Pharmacopeia. The song plays at 18 minutes and 50 second into the episode.

The lyrics are as such:

Casey, a student, looking for a teacher in life

so he enrolled in the academy of lsd-25

when he saw the lawman's reality it was just black and white

he set out on a mission to chemically show them the light

I found the audio producers on Linkedin, but don't know which one to ask, and don't want to bug them.

Hi all! I’m posting from mobile, so I apologize for formatting issues.

I absolutely LOVE hamilton, and have been listening to the soundtrack since I was in 5th grade, when it came out! I am currently pursuing musical theatre, and there are a few songs in the musical which compliment my voice and I would love to audition with them. However, as said in the title, I’m white. I realize that Lin Manuel created the musical to be specifically performed by PoC, so I’m not sure of whether it would be appropriate or not. I am not trying to provoke or offend anyone, I am simply trying to get an answer so that my actions don’t negatively impact others or appropriate or benefit off of the work of PoC.

Please also feel free to link any articles you have found about it, since I have not been able to find one about Hamilton. Thanks!

Edit: Hello again! I wanted to thank everyone for your advice and feedback on this matter. I really appreciate what you all had to say and will take into account your thoughts were I to choose a Hamilton song for an audition. Also to clarify things: I’m a soprano and I couldn’t sing King George’s songs well at all. I absolutely did not mean to offend anyone or seem racist, so please let me know if I did and what I can do better! Lastly, I understand that music is meant to be enjoyed by everyone, but I brought up the question because I didn’t want to be culturally insensitive or profit from something that isn’t right to profit from. Thanks again!

I think there are LOTS of underrated songs in the musical, but what about the ones that are just too popular? I personally think it’s Schuyler Sisters, but what do you think?

Taking into account musical styles, choreography etc

Edit: Thank you all for helping out! I intended to read the Wikipedia plot and listen to the songs. I eventually found the TGC edition and I'm thrilled. So glad to finally see this. Thanks again!

(Dalinar:) I saved every vision you sent me

From the moment I saw them, I knew I will fight

You said I will fight

I thought I will fight

Do you know what Navani said

When we saw your first vision arrives?

She said

"Be careful with Sadeas,

He will do what it takes to survive"

He and his thrill flooded my senses

Their shardblades left me defenseless

We built us battlefields out of cities

We built our last war

I'm re-watching the visions you wrote me

I'm searching and scanning for answers in every line

For some kind of sign, of when she were mine

The world seems to burn

Burn

(Adolin:) You published the visions he sent you

You told the whole world how you brought yourself to kill my mom

In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives

Do you know what Shallan said

When she read what you'd done?

She said

"You have born to an radiant,

He has flown too close to the sun"

You and your words, obsessed with your legacy

Your sentences border on senseless

And you are paranoid in every paragraph

How they perceive you

You, you, you

I'm erasing you now from the narrative [note, not in the song: this is why Dalinar has so little parts in RoW] Let future cosmere fans wonder how Evi reacted when

you broke her heart

You have torn it all apart, and you were watching it

Burn

Watching it burn

(Dalinar, in front of cultivation:) The world has no right to my heart

The war has no place in my life

They don't get to know what I said

I'm burning the memories

Burning the memories that might have redeem me

(To Evi) I forfeit all rights to your heart

I forfeit your place in my mind

I can't hear your name anymore

And no more the memories of when you were mine

Of when you have burned
