I can only assume "CALL ME SON ONE MORE TIME" came from the Hamilton actor having legitimate problems with his father IRL there is no other explanation for how purely and inconsolably furious he sounded

And/or rage at the pastor doing that, or the whole idea of being one of God's children..... The possibilities are endless 😂
i bet hes gay and the pastor hates him for it and also calls him son while trying to convert him

Life must be easier for these brainwashed people. I mean imagine instead of having to take accountability and responsibility for your bad actions that you can automatically say some dude that doesn't really exist in the sky forgives you and claims you no longer need to process your horrible choices.
THIS. and what makes this worse is that when they got notification from LMM’s lawyers who were like “you’re walking on thin ice, bud but you can keep going so long as you don’t record it and publish it anywhere” they twisted it into “They have given us blessing to continue our show guys!!!”
So not only did they steal they lied through their damn teeth. Multiple times!!!!

Church: Hamilton’s son died because he didn’t put faith in Jesus and he was cheating on his wife
Meanwhile Eliza: Puts faith in Jesus and has her husband cheat on her and then both her husband and son die.
eliza, a *Christian*, seeing this:
but consider this: she is a woman, so in the eyes of the church she might as well be a paper weight. As my crazy biblethumping grandmother once said, without a hint of irony, “only one woman matters in the eyes of the church, the rest are all sinners”
shhhh the church doesnt like it when you point out the plot holes in their religion shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
It’s because the church sees women as objects to their husbands, silly!
shh, silly! obviously women don’t matter! 😊
My biggest question is why they choose Hamilton? A show about love triangles, cheating, wars and guns
Shoulda gone with La Cage Aux Folles
exactly. they must've been like "let's illegally make a show with anti gay and Christian messaging, but let's make it about a gay man who cheated on his wife"
yes, Hamilton was bisexual ♥💜💙
My best guess is they're not smart
its cause of the popularity and how much Hamilton is recognized in broadway and beyond
Christians are obsessed with the most profane of things and then "purifying" them
Can't wait to see them put on Heathers where JD and Veronica turn to Jesus and repent for their sins and then convert the whole school to Jesus.
I still can't believe this show happened how did they think this was a good idea
I can see that happening.
How would they do Dead Girl Walking? They just can’t cut it.
Oh god no
For Our Love Is God they'd just simply switch it around to 'Our God Is Love'
They really said at the end “Hamilton cheated on his wife so God killed his son, revealed the affair, and killed Hamilton”. What a lesson from a benevolent god
They really trying to portray god as good and proceed to make him look petty vengeful and evil 😂
No way 💀
It's honestly a miss interpretation of the text.
They read the Bible and put 2 instances of God doing 1 of those things (twice) and decided "Yep he just does that to be petty"
All imma say about the church adding those lines is they don’t represent all Christians they were trying to send a message about why you should follow God but they went about it the wrong way yak what I mean
Also are we gonna talk about how Eliza accepted Jesus and had faith in god and yet what she gets in return is her husband cheating on her and then her child and her husband dying
As someone who has lost a child, the scene with the priest talking about how it's his fault his child died is sick.
I’m so sorry
my dearest condolences, honestly
The reason Eliza and Maria are played by the same actress is because she's married to the actor that plays Hamilton in real life (they're young, but not minors). According to a girl on TikTok that knows them the church is super strict about dating, to the point where they don't allow handholding in a romantic sense before marriage. That's why they had her play the two women Hamilton is romantic with.
W H A T 😭I swear they look like teens
omg that’s wild but checks out
@@novemberninth4392 You think they waited long to get married? They’re definitely the YOUNGEST age they can be to be married

I played an angel back in 1st grade with more personality than this

The "throwing hands at the ambassador of France" made me lose it. Combine it with Hamilton's "while you were off, getting high with the French" in Cabinet Battle 1, and now I'm imagining Jafferson high af trying to beat the shit out of himself, while Lafayette is just rolling on the floor from laughter.
Jefferson: **Slamming his head against the guillotine, bleeding profusely**
Lafayette: **Laughing his ass off**
Wait but Lafayette is Jefferson 👀👀👀
Is he laughing while beating himself up???? 👀👀👀👀👀 it just makes it funnier
that poor kid playing Burr probably WAS fighting back the tears. I can only imagine the horrendous anxiety of having to perform in front of a huge audience with little preparation AND without the vocal skills to do your own numbers! I hope he's ok...
That’s a bit exaggerated
@@ricky.t.1658 No its not. Its a completely valid statement
@@ricky.t.1658
Are you in theatre? It's stressful as is, and he was casted for a role he wasn't experienced enough for.
If he's anything at all like I was growing up in this kind of church, he's severely traumatized by stuff that doesn't have anything to do with stage fright or vocal skills. When I was roped into a similarly disgraceful production as a kid, my abusers were in the audience.
Yall this is so true. He has a voice with potential but no good teachers... i can totally understand why hes like this.
Illegal Hamilton doesn't even feel real, this feels like a morphed version of Hamilton that my brain would create in a fever dream, only for me to wake up and immediately forget 90% of it.
It's that kind of nightmare you have that isn't scary just because it's too weird for that to be the case.

Not gonna lie, I respect the living shit out of them for realizing they couldn't come up with any sort of change for "Southern Mother Fucking Democratic Republkcans" and just deciding "ya'know what, let's just give a meaningful pause to show everyone how bad this line is", this is ironically the funniest censorship I've ever seen in my life
I wish they had gone the route of TV airings of Die Hard sequels and say "Southern Mister Falcon Democratic-Republicans"
Why did you spell republicans so badly 💀
its giving me and my friends singing it in middle school and trying not to get in trouble
My first exposure to Hamilton was a “clean” version that had this exact censorship in it, where they literally just cut out the “mother fucking” out of the cast recording
They missed a real opportunity to get Mary on stage for "The Womb Where It Happens".
I hate you.
You're hired.
Omg that's perfect 😭 💅
Weird AL, where u at??
“i wanna be in the womb where it happens” what..

Damn, I love when they put homosexuality in the same vein as drugs and alcoholism 😂😂 Yeah, are you addicted to alcohol? Drugs? DICK?!
What about lesbians tho? Not very addicted to dick XP
COCAINE AND COCK??
Using this
I repent my sins of dick. I'm sorry, i was too addicted to dick, it's taken over my life!!😭😭
Ah yes I am addicted to this new drug called "men"
The pastor really said, "Struggle with gay? Repent today!"
which is even funnier considering laurens and hamilton ACTUALLY sent each other love notes in real life. "hey there laurens, do you struggle with gay? read all my letters and improve today 😏"
The fact that they’re so homophobic and performing Hamilton is very ironic considering that Hamilton was bi, as he wrote a love letter to John Laurence
Cap
@@SherloxProLiteral fact he wrote a letter to John Laurence and I quote “why dost thou steal my affections?” He was not straight
I'm very glad someone pointed that out, because nobody ever believes me when i tell them
cap, he wrote SEVERAL love letters
wasn't one of those specifically like hamilton asking laurens to be his wingman by having him guarantee ham had a big dick? like as if no one would think to ask "how would he know"
Washington's mic not working in the end and him basically yelling "SHE TELLS MY STOOOORYYYY" off screen is absolutely hilarious to me

It's really fucking funny to me how far away Washington sounds in Eliza's final song. It sounds shes singing in her room and he's hiding in her closet or something
Well didn't his mic break down earlier? I think he genuinely is just shout-singing that into the void since he has no working mic anymore by that point 😅
@@sleepysera I guess so, but you'd think such an important character they could have swapped his for one of the background performers mics, since it was the end and they wouldn't be needing it again-
Bruh it sounded like someone was trying really hard to keep him off the stage and he just desperately managed to yell his last line towards it 💀
@tomaandkile It's not that simple. The mic would need to be re-mixed for his voice. If the batteries died, that is a quick fix. But anything else is a little more complicated.

Pastor: "You struggle with homosexuality-"

@@dinterdos “Hamilton” said calmly
@@moreblack To be fair, you're told that you suck, you're a "dumb worthless sinner" unless you give your entire life and everything you care about over to a god, who doesn't show himself, gives no proof that they exist or did exist and tells you that if you don't believe, you're going to hell. You will never be good enough, even though Jesus died on the cross, you still absolutely suck, remember that worm because you're a weak sinner who is nothing with out god.
Oh and if you're LGBTQ+ or support it, you're in direct violation over over half a dozen pretty easy to understand excepts from a text written by past humans who were supposedly actually just puppets, because God was writing through them.
Be fruitful and multiply with your sisters, your daughters and your wife, but not your son, because that would be gay (Polygamy wasn't considered bad, neither was incest, it's right there in Genesis. But being gay is referenced as absolutely sin in various passages and anyone who says wrong is just denying how anti-LGBTQ the Abrahamic religions all are), be fruitful and multiply. God knows all, sees all and knows what will happen, but you still have free will, so it's still your fault.
Even if you do everything right you might still end up in hell because you didn't believe enough and everyone you like and love that isn't Christian like you is doomed.
Of course they're angry. That entire mindset is a nervous break down with psychosis waiting to happen. Being told and made to feel like you're worthless with out an invisible being to tell you that you have worth. let alone all the other confusing, contradictory and generally just nasty things the bible says and has stories about. Like, it's not a pleasant or heart warming read in the slightest.
38:13 The fact that the song after this has Hamilton taking his kids to church and saying "And I pray, I never used to do that before." Which can be read as him finding God through the tragedy and just completely removing all subtlety and agency from Hamilton's character and just having a priest convert him ham-fistedly is very ironic and funny.
i've rewatched this video like 4 different times and each time i thought here 25:40 it said:
" Hamilton is left alone to do the worst thing a christian person can do: *SING* " 😭

The actors for Alexander and Eliza were chosen for the roles because they were married irl. And they’d be able to hold hands and kiss.
What's more ironic in this whole illegal mess, is that Hamilton did went to Jesus to find some sort of grievance by himself, which is a stronger message, although not intended, to Christianity, instead of someone FUCKING FORCING IT DOWN YOUR THROAT
Let's just forget how Eliza managed to find forgiveness to Hamilton so they could share grief, nah nah, it was Jesus who forced her to forgive him, how in the fuck is that supposed to convince me to be a Christian?

I personally think that with a bit of enthusiasm, Aaron Burr could have almost saved the show. Also- about the harem joke not being cut, as well as Burr mentioning how he keeps Theodosia's bed "warm," I find it funny to think they didn't know what it meant, so they just kept it in

hope that kids doing well and if he continues to do musicals that it goes further for him.
Hamilton just needs to talk less smile less in this bootleg. Oh and burr could acc get on actual Hamilton with vocal work- he tried to fix everyone else’s screw ups and actually tried lmao
@@caitlyncarvalho7637 I mean yeah- they wouldn’t be getting in legal trouble 😂 but if they could make a good musical then they should

Isn’t there a mention of a character becoming a brick wall or smth??😭😭

You know something’s wrong when a high school drama club with an incredibly low budget, but passionate actors, can put on a better the show than mega churches that are rolling in cash.
I was just thinking a really talented high school drama class or community theater would love to have those expensive costumes and set pieces. Instead it’s wasted on this 😅
my high school drama club's production of a show we wrote ourselves is better than this even though we had no budget (we had to use what the school already had and pay out of pocket), people kept joining and quitting, and the club almost got terminated multiple times because administration thought we were goofing off. and to top it all off the director got fired a month before the show with no replacement because the school didn't care enough to get one. we did the best we could to advertise the show but the only people who came were family members and our former director. that was freshman year though, thankfully now they have a stable and successful theatre program. shit I got off topic again I swear I can't write a comment without turning it into an essay
Yep, name checks out.
My school choir could’ve pulled it off, they actually know how to sing 😭
I dont even blame these kids. You can't encompass a character when you aren't portraying the story properly. And this is a HARD show to do, directors should've recognized that its not a show they were capable of doing.
The kids probably weren't even allowed to watch actual Hamilton 😂
The “director” was probably the pastor
The point isnt to make it a great performance. The point is to have fun and give entertainment to the audience.
This guy is taking church plays too seriously. Its a cover. Relax. its all kids just doing a church play after all. Churches dont have a full time actors group after all.
@MattH123 maybe they shouldn't do a two hour copy written play then ? They created a two story set, had multiple costumes, lav mics and lighting. This was a full production. There's a reason why yhey got sued. There are plenty of shows they could have done legally.
@@waltermh111 It wasn't their art to alter. They didn't ask permission and changed fundamental aspects of the show. Nobody's "taking it too seriously" we're just annoyed that the adults in the situation defaced someone else's art.
9:00 I don't know... for all the crazy things happening in this play, person playing Washington here did quite well. He also seems like one of the few people that actually want to be there and are into the role.
I agree, It probably helped that he could just copy the original actor.
Fun fact!:alexander Hamilton never really healed from Philips death
The church my parents would force me to go to did something similar with Toy Story. At one point Jessie was freaking out about her fear of abandonment, so Woody was like "Don't worry, Jesus will never abandon you" and her issues were resolved instantly.
what.
That sounds laughably horrible. Bwah! That's good
"You have horrible abandonment issues cause everyone who as ever loved has left me well jesus will never leave you" yeah an invisible being just floating there above me that'll help
Wait, didn't this church do that too???
@@SeptemberStranger28 Probably, but the church I'm talking about is in TN
@@SeptemberStranger28 a Canadian church did a bunch of plays combining the Easter story and popular media. Jenny Nicholson made a video on it and it’s amazing
Edit: I know one of the exact ones they did was Toy Story. Also the Avengers, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future…
I love the idea of two Thomas Jeffersons having a fist fight
It's like when you choose the same character in a fighting game and they have a different color. I just imagined that but with two Thomas Jeffersons fighting in France!
It was probably the scamilton Thomas vs the hamilton Thomas to see who's the true Jefferson
The mental image that this gave me is fantastic.
Miku Jefferson vs Bootleg Jefferson
I’ve had Miku binder Jefferson out of my head for a while. Why’d you have to remind me? :(
42:50 I just love how Washington yells from the back, like when you get called into a room that you're far away from
I wasn't drunk enough to appreciate this masterpiece
Ten years out of high school and I still have nightmares of forgetting lines from musicals I never even performed in BUT TO SEE THE AUDACITY OF THAT MAN CHEWING GUM--
My Theatre teacher would have my head!
bro my drama teacher would be absolutely seething
I'm in high school doing plays... That guy straight up forgetting his line on stage... I felt it in my being.
@@agamerdoesthings9317 SAME 😭 like he didn’t even try to recover, just stood there not saying anything 😧
It helps him think
Something that is promoted within Christian churches is singing even if you're not good at it.
Plus you can't really expect a bunch of adverage teenagers going through puberty with no training to perform on the same level as a Broadway company. that's like telling a middle schooler to run a race against a Olympic runner.
@@BlazeDupree1525 The main characters are all adults…
@@obeliilebo3949 George and Washington are adults. Tone death adults, who clearly have never had any vocal training or anything. The rest of the cast are children.
@@BlazeDupree1525 the one who plays Eliza and the one who plays Alexander are married. So they might look young, and besides, they probably weren’t forced to do this
Ikr my church I'm being forced to go to has a choir that sounds like the literal muppets
This show made me realize how important to have MICROPHONES in the musical 😂
Eliza did have a really good voice. They just needed to help her hit the right notes. 😭
Not only does King George not have to dance or perform outside of his three songs, but all three songs are the exact same music and melody, just different lyrics. All he had to do is remember his lines.
Jonathon Groff was spectacular with his funny face expressions and the way he delivered it. Then there is that guy who looks 30 and just got thrown on stage.
I could do that easily and it would be so much better after only learning for a week
Per song
not to mention, this guy only had to remember two songs
guarantee without a doubt in my mind that this is the director of the musical
when Alexander first introduced himself people cheered like in the real show, but as people started to realize that this play was bad they stop making noise all together
They just give up on it.
@@VirgilAtlas Let Jesus come into your ear canals...
@@Ugly_German_TruthsI'd rather do that with Jesus Christ Superstar, you know a musical that has good singing.
im not usually a subtitles person for youtube at least but the diction in this musical was so bad i kinda needed it
I needed to watch actual Hamilton after this 😭
right
I felt so bad for the actress who played Eliza during Burn. It sounded like she was not only off on almost every note, but like she was straining to get there at all. The tension I imagined in her throat made my throat start hurting second-hand.
Yeah, and Burn only hits a D5. I have a low voice for an AFAB person and even I can reach that, especially with a good warm up. She sounds like she could be a good singer but badly needs lessons.
She seemed to have a fair amount of vocal talent earlier on, so I have no idea how she was failing so badly at the end. Poor kid.
These poor singers sound like actors on comedy who are singing off-key as a joke. Bravo for their bravery of attempting this … it’s not easy to sing or act in front of people. Where was the choir director?
@@dalailarose1596 probably just that eliza's actress had been singing all night, i wouldn't be surprised if she needed a break. obviously eliza doesn't have as many scenes as other characters, but she still has quite a bit, and it doesn't help that they're kinda big in a lot of cases.
obviously i know nothing about these kids, but just judging from the performance it feels like this is their first musical. they might not have a lot of training when it comes to singing, and therefore by the end are just straining to finish it out, eliza's actress included.
@@ashtonisvibing that makes sense, singing for hours on end is tiring and often requires some training. It's another reason why making her be Maria was dumb. That song probably helps act as a break for Eliza for both a rest and a costume change.
Yes, this totally green kid didn't fully own burr as a character. But he can SING the role which is pretty impressive on it own. I fully agree, the kid wasn't bad, he's actually pretty good but the people who ran the show (all the adults) didn't help him in any way.
His voice is pretty enjoyable. With some singing lessons and finding an actual youth acting studio, he could actually become a really good performer on stage. It’s obvious the directors didn’t give him any direction or help him fix things. With better directions and more time spent on working with him, he could’ve owned this role.
I agree. I think the kid who plays Bur looks like he could be the (IRL) son of the guy who plays King George.
Imo, the Bur kid should’ve played Hamilton because he did have some emotional gut behind his acting and the Washington guy should’ve played King George cause that guy was extra and it would’ve spiced up the acting of KG as being extra.
16:14 when Hamilton says the most based line of the entire play
37:37 I’m sorry? No one said that some random person out of script would show up and tell Hamilton that he should believe in God. Like this is fine for them but I’m disgusted. Like he said, it’s despicable how they BLAMED poor Philips death over his SINS!! HIS SINS!
“Men still foolishly praise me” also feels like a stab at the original show and its creators.
yeah, absolutely. that was almost definitely aimed at them, because before hamilton became so big he was the most forgotten of the founding fathers. why would he be praised if people didn’t even remember he existed?
@@purgatoryproductions310I really don't consider Hamilton forgotten, he is probably on the same tier as Adams, but hilariously he is the punching bag of mosts guys
Not to mention, Lin and the people who helped him write the story made it absolutely clear that Hamilton isn't a perfect person.
Even Javier Muñoz, Lin's alternate, praised the way Hamilton because Alex is such a flawed individual.
It feels like someone pulled out a gun during rehearsals and told all the actors that if they put a single harmony in during the real performance, they’d be sniped on sight. But Hamilton is such a harmony-heavy show that occasionally they’ll slip one in, do a mental ‘OH SHIT’ and pull back because they’re afraid that the guy is cocking his gun.
So... I guess you could say that was the guy's own (my) shot?
Had to do it though. Your comment made me laugh and the play made me cringe.
The guy was not throwing away his shot when they started harmonizing
If they did the harmony it would be their *one last time* acting in Hamilton
@@imjustaguycalledsanothe guy was going to kill them anyway, so he was just *waiting for it*

I’m personally not Christian, but I do feel bad for all the rational Christians out there who are having their religion represented in this awful way.
Should speak up against the ridiculousness then 😂
There are none.
*Look to the inquisition* Oh yeah, poor Christians image
I’m inclined to think that the rational Christians are fine. They just do their thing and don’t bother about anyone else.
@@Cons-CatYeah, thanks 😒
Did they really have a priest go up to a man and tell him "hey have you ever considered that your child's death is your fault?" and thought that was a touching momeng
Biggest facepalm right there.
It felt so vile and predatory to me!
To that church, it probably is a normal thing to say to someone whose relative recently died. It's a disgusting thing to do, but pastor privilege, i guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As someone who has experienced this behavior due to my family being religious, it's an awful feeling to hear someone tell an ACTUAL grieving person that maybe it's their own fault. I never spoke to my uncle after what he did
Aint no hate like christian love
The scamilton king George seems like he's going to yell homophobic slurs at me for holding my friends hand who happens to present fem
I've seen the original Hamilton twice and the amount of rage I felt throughout this video was immense. At one point I had to pause the video just to scream into a pillow.
