Hamilton on Disney+

The Sherry Cave
Yes, folks, I'm blogging about Hamilton from my house as I watch it. I sent this Pic Collage to Bro and V.
The last time I saw this show was in Puerto Rico with Lin Manuel Miranda reprising his title role, and I got all emotional thinking about that awesome trip, and the show that they gifted me for my birthday. Then I started crying and realized that I needed to go back to watching the show and blogging already. Also, those M&Ms needed my attention.
Love the vocal percussion during the opening castle logo. Oh my gosh, I'm so excited!
I'm so happy that I can do this and maybe pay better attention another day, like tomorrow.
I'm also happy that I get to see all of the performers that I hear when listening to my CD, even though I've liked all of the touring performers, too.
"Don't modulate the key and not debate with me!"
Love seeing Jonathan Groff's facial expressions as King George. I love seeing all of the facial expressions up close!
That lighting with each BOOM!
Rewind is about to break my heart again. Oh my gosh, her voice is so awesome!!!
Liz is watching right now, too, and loving the close-ups.
"Call me 'son' one more time!" Whoa, so angry.
Lafayette / Jefferson is probably my favorite role(s) besides Hamilton. Oh, it's Joe's, too!
I cannot help but say "Immigrants. We get the job done!" with them, even when in the theatre, although without any sound.
"We'll never be free until we end slavery."
This is drum corps, but dancing with real-looking rifles and a live orchestra instead of brass instruments. Also, you can't see the instruments. So maybe Winter Guard?
Uh oh, here comes George again. Crazy mofo. "Awesome. Wow." King George is from the San Fernando Valley.
"When your people say they hate you, don't come crawling back to me." (You hear that, current President!?!? Oh, sorry, I'm a little stressed out about our country right now.)
So, what actually happens to Theodosia? I need to do some research.
Ooh, intermission!
I don't think Jefferson actually needs that cane if he can dance that way.
"We all know who really does the planting."
Love that cabinet meeting, especially when they reference Grandmaster Flash.
So love Eliza providing the beatbox.
"My dearest, Angelica". Grammar is important, and I love that they note that.
"Tell my wife John Adams doesn't have a real job anyway."
"Screw your courage to the screwing place." -- Macbeth / Beauty and the Beast / Hamilton
...and then Sherry gets pissed off at Hamilton. But then again, he was a Tom Cat.
"I said that last time, it became a pastime." Hey, that word is in my blog title!
Love that "Room Where It Happened" groove.
"You must be out of your go*&*mn mind!" and then he talks about speaking with King Louis' severed head.
"I'm sorry. What?"
Yes, George, history has its eyes on you. Love King George's not realizing that a leader can just step down. Also, his reaction to John Adams becoming president is hilarious.
Uh oh. Ominous music.
Such power in Eliza's voice during "Burn".
"Everything is legal in New Jersey."
CRYING NOW. Unimaginable.
"Can we get back to politics?"
"At least they know I know where France is."
I sometimes wish that my first name started with an "A", so I could sign letters like in the "A.Ham" / "A.Burr" way.
Ahhhhh, this countdown. Sooo good.
Wise up, eyes up.
I love when she tells her story. It's making me cry again.
That was so great! Thank you, Disney, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and the cast and crew of Hamilton! I needed this to make my soul feel better in such a tumultuous time. Weird,huh? Because it's not like this is a happy-go-lucky kind of show, but it's just...ahhhh.
Good night, and Happy Independence Day, USA!
