  • Hamilton is a phenomenal Broadway Musical, and Lin-Manuel Miranda outdid himself with the score and Alexander Hamilton! In my "My Shot (From "Hamilton")" reaction I listen to possibly my new FAVORITE broadway song!
    I'm also checking out "The Story of Tonight (From Hamilton)" to round out the Hamilton bar scene. I'm a radio DJ reacting to Alexander Hamilton (From "Hamilton") since it was not on the radio in the US!
    Listen to "My Shot (From "Hamilton")" on @usnavi's channel here: • My Shot and "The Story of Tonight": • The Story of Tonight

    Hamilton: An American Musical is a sung-and-rapped-through musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda. It tells the story of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. Miranda said he was inspired to write the musical after reading the 2004 biography Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow.
    The show draws heavily from hip hop, as well as R&B, pop, soul, and traditional-style show tunes. It casts non-white actors as the Founding Fathers and other historical figures. Miranda described Hamilton as about "America then, as told by America now."
    It's my first time listening to Hamilton and my first time listening to My Shot (From "Hamilton").

    In an interview Leslie Odom Jr (Aaron Burr) said that the story of tonight was the song that left the biggest impression on him.
    The reason was that it was the first time he saw four men of color on a stage singing together about friendship and brotherhood. Even though he wasn't in the song he was really affected by it.

    Laurens and Hamilton were actually rumored to have a relationship back in the day. Many people found out that they were sending practically like love letters to each other and that they had a oddly romantic “friendship”. If you pay attention, the Hamilton cast tried to portray that. So the “Laurens I like you a lot" has a deeper meaning lmao. I think even Anthony, the actor that played Laurens, said that he heard about the Hamilton and Laurens situation.

      “I have written you five or six letters since you left Philadelphia and I should have written you more had you made proper return. But like a *jealous lover* , when I thought you slighted my caresses, my affection was alarmed and my vanity piqued.”

      I really like imagining this is how it happened even though historically the musical takes a lot of liberties. Hercules Mulligan was one of Hamilton's first friends and one of the first people he met coming to America, he met John Lawrence and Lafayette during the war, Mulligan was never recorded to have met the other two guys. History is sometimes more interesting than fiction though, Hamilton, Lawrence, and Lafayette were all just as, if not more badass in combat than they are depicted in the musical. Lafayette has absolute mythological legend status in US history, every battle he lead he demolished, Hamilton as a soldier stole the cannons right off a british ship and the one he personally took as a pet of sorts throughout the war, someone wrote that he would often pet the cannon while he was deep in thought, that shit was a trophy. Not to mention when he lead in the battle of Yorktown he lead the US to a decisive victory, all without firing a single shot. They crept on the British forces and led the hardest Bayonet charge in history, wiping the British with melee weapons alone. Also its heavily theorized through old letters that Lawrence and Hamilton were getting it on during the war, Hamilton wrote the homie love letters, the ones released to the public are very romantic to say the least, apparently the ones unreleased are straight vulgar lol.

    The next video might be best as just The Schuyler Sisters unless you're able to do 3 songs in one video, because Farmer Refuted fades really nicely into You'll Be Back. I think Schuyler Sisters works well as a stand alone as it throws quite a bit at you.
    Also shout outs to Anthony Ramos (John Laurens) in The Story of Tonight. His voice is soo beautiful.
    I hope that when you finish your reactions you're able to sit and watch the whole thing all the way through without breaks. Or, idk how difficult it would be to do but if you recorded your reaction to the whole thing in one sitting or at least less split up than it is currently, and then went in afterwards and cut it into pieces of 1-2/3 songs however you'd want to do that. I know that'd be a lot more editing and probably more time-consuming but that may be a better viewing experience for you. If you like the way you're doing it now, though, then I wouldn't worry about it.

    From an historical perspective, none of this actually happened. There was literally no time in history where Gilbert de Motier (the Marquis of Lafayette, which is a place in France... it was his title, not his name; it put the man somewhere between a Count and a Duke in terms of noble title). John Laurens, Hercules Mulligan, Aaron Burr, and Alexander Hamilton were all together in one room at the same time. To give you an example, Hamilton never met Lafayette until *after* he became Washington's aide.
    Alexander Hamilton knew all of them, but he never met them all at once. Its a great song, but as history its nonsense. Some of the others, in fact, never met at all.

    To explain one line, King's College was the name of Columbia University before the revolution. Obviously they changed the name afterwards to sever the affiliation with England but I think it'll help to point that out.

I was the Receptionist at the station before I became a Sales Assistant (worst move I ever made!) Anyway, I guess we kind of connect in that way. I should've remained in radio but, alas, my life took a turn for being a Receptionist at other jobs.

    The part where he spells out his name is actually a throwback to when The Notorious B.I.G does it in the song "Going Back to Cali". The line is "It's the, N-O, T-O, R-I, OU-S, you just, lay down, slow". There's a few reference to Biggie songs in the show.

    The reason Hamilton doesn't really lay out who he is and moreso talks about his drive and ambition is because at this point he isn't really anyone. This is a story about how he makes that legacy for himself. At this point he's just a meek 19 year old with more ambition and drive than is really healthy. He's never really had solid long time friends before these people, and he's probably always been a little hesitant to make those connections before coming to America because everyone else that was a major connection in his life before then either left him or died.
    That's how I always interpret it, anyway.

    Yay! You can see some references to John Laurens and Hamilton's actual real life relationship referenced in here a couple of times. If you know about it it's easier to spot. If you don't know about it I recommend looking up their letters that they wrote to each other. They were definitely gay for each other, I'm pretty sure Hamilton at least was bi in Real life, would definitely seem so judging by those letters anyway. It's also sprinkled throughout the musical to, it's a fun Easter egg to try a spot.

    Interesting theory: There are people who think that Hamiltons and Laurens Relationship may have been more that just friends. Certainly the language that Hamilton uses in letters to Laurens is much more affectionate then it is in most other letters to his friends. And If you look at Laurens Bodylanguage in the musical, they seem to give a nod to that, him being a bit closer and holding gazes a bit longer than you might usually do.
    This is specualtion, though, so take it with a grain of salt
