I’ve been gone! This is where! From now until March I’m trying to complete one story sequence a week. Some are mine, others (like this) are stories I love and want a shot at re-imagining.
Thoughts!
1. The frosty setting is more symbolic than historically accurate–Hamilton and Burr dueled in July.
2. My goal was to finish the boards in a week. It took five days! My speed is improving.
3. When there is a Hamilton movie, it shouldn’t look anything like this. Just wanted to stretch my imagination a little.The best presentation for this monologue is one actor under a spotlight in a dark theater. @linmanuel @leslieodomjr hope you don’t mind the creative liberties. Your performances on the soundtrack are outstanding!
1:48. Damn.
Even this guy’s impressed. So proud and happy for you.
Is this how death gets me? On my screen, a couple feet in front of me?
I read today that Hamilton’s “Uh do whatever you want, I’m super dead” line was apparently inspired by Griffin McElroy, and now I can’t…not…know that. It’s like finding a weird, impossibly shaped puzzle piece that allows my mind to connect “I am inimitable, I am an original” to “you wanna fuck an onion” with frightening ease. It has possibly changed my perspective on Hamilton more than any other reference in the show???
You
don’t have to separate these things with Jefferson. He can have written this incredible
document, and several incredible documents, that we all, sort of- with things
that we all believe in. And he sucks.
I
think those are both true, and those have to be both true. I think we really
have to stop separating them, ‘cause that’s when you get into trouble. That’s
when you stop letting people be whole people.
most relatable lines in hamilton:
• “oh shit”
• “sweet jesus”
• “honestly it’s kind of draining”
• “fuuuuuuuuu-”
• “in the living room stressing”
• “uh, do whatever you want, i’m super dead”
• “i hadn’t slept in a week”
• “i’m young, scrappy, and hungry”
• “a mess, she looked pathetic”
• “i’m dying inside”
“You
know, we have a.. a- a guest in the audience this evening (laughter
from audience). And Vice President elect Pence, I see you walking out
but I hope you hear just a few more moments. There’s nothing
to boo, ladies and gentlemen. There’s nothing to boo. We’re all here
sharing a story of love. We have a little message for you sir, we hope
that you will hear us out.
And I encourage everybody to pull out your phones and tweet and post this message far and wide.
“Vice
President-elect Pence, we welcome you and we truly thank you for
joining us here at Hamilton: An American Musical. We really do. We,
sir… we are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your
new administration will not protect us…
(applause)
Our
parents, our children, … [indecipherable] and uphold our unalienable
rights, sir. But we truly hope this show has inspired you to uphold our
American values and work on behalf of all of us. (applause) Allll. of.
us.
(more applause)
Thank you

diverse group of men, women of different colors, creeds and orientations
(applause)”
