    The dinner talked about in this song is probably one of the most historically accurate moments because we don’t really know much of what happened at this dinner outside of what Thomas Jefferson wrote about it afterwards. That’s why “Thomas claims” is said a lot in lyrics. (Edit-Jefferson was known to be a unreliable narrator in these types of writings). On another note, when you see Burr jump on the table you’ll see that the color of the table is different from the color of the tablecloth that they pulled away as he was in the air. That is foreshadowing with what Burr is about to do in the next song. This song itself is a great example of how so much of the politics game is played behind closed doors. As the saying goes “more happens over lunches than what happens on committee floors”. Great Reaction once again!

      And historically, Jefferson is known to write about events in a twisted way to make himself look better and everyone around him look worse. So when "Thomas claims", you can pretty much guarantee there was a bit of BS in it.

      I also like the fact that instead of shining light to what happened in that room Burr is angry he wasn't there. It really shows how selfish he really is deep down. The song highlights the many ways politicians are corrupt.

      YES!! It's interesting, because heroes usually have "I WANT" songs in musicals, while villains have "I AM" songs. Burr's is an "I WANT" song, yet you know what he means -- he wants power and the security of that position, but has nothing to fight for.

    So, here Burr is talking about this meeting (that actually happened!) that Jefferson, Maddison and Hamilton had, before this they were in completely different sides, but after the dinner somehow there was a compromise made, however, how did they get to that? No one knows, because it was a closed doors meeting, but it was pretty important, considering that the place of the Capital and the National Bank came out of it, so, when Burr talks about this, he's curious as to what was said in the dinner, he doesnt get invited because he keeps "waiting for it", so he doesnt have a said on this compromise that quite literally changes the way the country function, but he wishes he had, he wants to be in the room to have a say.
    I didn't notice the first time but the song and choreography show the exact same moment a number of times, just for different perspectives, Burr is just watching them enter the room, Jefferson says that Hamilton begged him to compromise, Maddison says that Jeff went to him and he came with this quid pro quo, and so on... And thats the thing, no one knows which version actually happened.

    • @V_4_Versace
      @V_4_Versace Před rokem +17

      Absolutely! I'd also add that Burr wasn't in the room when it happened because he wasn't an elected official yet so he was basically useless and I think this song is him finally waking up to that fact and realizing what he wanted and then going for it

      In this comment you posted here a year ago I noticed a letter in the middle of a phrase.
      It changed the meaning, did you intend this?
      One keystroke and you insult instead of praise.
      It says:
      "Let it all out on stage."
      With an f after "L-e"
      You've written:
      "Left it all out on stage."

  • @amylynn3821

    This is a real turning point for Burr. Up until this point he has been very controlled. and willing to wait to make things happen. He sees Hamilton succeeding but Burr is also doing well. This is where he realizes that Hamilton has just managed to make a deal for everything he wanted financially and he is still waiting on the sidelines. We see here how much he really wants to be a part of the decision-making process. Up until now he has been a little condescending, seeing Hamilton's success as partly luck and knowing the right people. Look at his reaction when he says "You got more than you gave". He is realizing that he has vastly underestimated Hamilton and that Hamilton is now the power player he isn't.

  • @eyrune7520
    @eyrune7520 Před rokem +53

    This song is often quoted to be Burr's villain song! Because he is the villain in Hamilton's story (even though it should be Hamilton himself, he is good at self-destruction). Also, in case you didn't notice it last time, during Non-Stop Hamilton says "Macbeth" and from then on bad things start happening to him, this is a reference to the myth around Macbeth which had a series of accidents around the play back in the day so now it is tradition/superstition that if you say Macbeth in a theatre bad things will happen. The line is: "I'm sure you'll understand the reference to another Scottish tragedy without my having to name the play" so here he avoids saying it, but immediately in the next sentence he goes: "They think me Macbeth, ambition is my folly." There are so many small details like this in Hamilton that I absolutely love. Foreshadowing galore. Have you been told about Bullet yet? :D

    • @ms_scribbles
      @ms_scribbles Před rokem +9

      I dunno, if you look at history, Burr wasn't just the villain of Hamilton's story. He was a con artist (the Manhattan Company, where he told people he was raising money to fix the water supply in New York to fight the Yellow Fever, but then used the vast majority of the money to build his own bank to compete with Hamilton's bank, probably resulting in many, many deaths), a thief (after his first wife died, Burr married a wealthy widow, then proceeded to take all her money and dump it into bad real estate deals until she finally divorced him), and damn near a traitor, though he got out of that one through a technicality (the Burr Conspiracy, where he dealt with foreign powers to try to create a new country with himself as the leader/king/whatever).
      The play is very kind to Burr, frankly. The man was utter slime.

      It's so interesting to me to think of all the major cities in the US that deal with completely different things. Like most countries have a central capital or power city where major political, financial, trade and transactions happen but with the deal these men made it changed the course of how the US was to be run and I really do wonder how that went over at the time saying in one city we will have finance, while another will deal with politics. Especially in a time without planes, cars, and other methods of fast transport, they really said be rich and have time to travel, otherwise good luck becoming a member of Congress.

    Aaron Burr seems to fully let loose in this song! In Act 1 he seemed really stiff, and danced and sang like he refused to let out and go for it- even in Wait for It
    In THIS song, however, he finally breaks and let's himself be seen.

      Yes, this is reflected in the choreography. I was watching one of those behind-the-scenes videos and I remember that Lin said the choreographer made it such that Burr mostly walked/danced in straight lines up to this point. In this song he finally breaks free from that pattern and does a swooping semi-circle, and he doesn't go back to being so tight-laced afterwards.

    the general idea behind this song is that the decisions made in government aren't really made in congress, they're made in the bars and golf courses and restaurants /around/ congress. you can vote whoever you want into congress but the deals and alliances are all made outside of work hours and it's about having connections. it's why there's such an emphasis on tj saying that he arranged the venue and the whole event because it's all about appearances to get what you want out of the meeting. burr feels blindsided by hamilton making deals with his "enemies" but it's just how government works lol he's definitely pissed about being blown off by hamilton at the start of the song when he walks off with tj and madison because he wants to be in the room where the /real/ decisions get made but doesn't have the right connections like alex does

    What Burr is saying in this song is that literally no one TO THIS DAY knows what they were talking about. There’s no documents (that I know of) that have any information about what was spoken in “The Room Where It Happened” so ig you could take this song as a disclaimer thats saying “we’re clueless of what actually happened in that room” it’s very interesting to think about. And Thomas Jefferson’s part in this song starts with “Thomas Claims” meaning that it’s not confirmed if that was true or not. Everything they said are Claims, not true, but not confirmed false either
