Both John Kerry and Jane Fonda were in the house for Miranda's last performance! It musta been Ex-Radicals Night.

@dick_nixon
It doesn't surprise me that the "West Wing" theme was played at "Hamilton." It seems apt. That is not a compliment.

It interests me that Hamilton, who knew the game as well as anybody, should get swept up in a lot of phony hand-on-heart fantasies.

yeah it's weird there's the fake account for will mcavoy from the newsroom too, so like randos just become twitter pundits now by pretending to be someone dead or a TV character?

Every friend who's been able to catch it has left amazed, but I've been reluctant to even listen to the soundtrack. I should get over it, right?

Besides, we all know Burr was the real song and dance man.

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 11 July 2016 22:09 (seven years ago) link

get that shit off my hamhams thread
only lin man-m tweets ONLY

Real talk Hamilton probably exists because I had this poster on my wall throughout my teen years

Harsh zing on this show that definitely doesn't find any room for Aaron Burr to do any vocalising or choreographed movement, sir

I've been reluctant to even listen to the soundtrack.

do i even have to say it? or is it still PEDANTIC to use the accurate term?

helpless before THRILLARY (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 12 July 2016 11:24 (seven years ago) link

nixon not hating

@dick_nixon
Mrs. Nixon and I long ago saw "Hamilton" and enjoyed it. We have not, as yet, ascended into heaven.

I can't wait until the movie comes out and I can listen to the cast recording

how does a jowly, nervous, son of a mom, and a
Quaker, dropped in the middle of a
Forgotten Yorba Linda lemon ranch by providence
Impoverished, in squalor
Grow up to secretly bomb Cambodia?

I’m writin’ a letter nightly
Now my life gets better, every Checkers that you buy me
Respectable Republican cloth coat is so darin'
I’m just sayin’, if you really loved me, you would wear 'em

Extorted me
Recorded me slyly and and when she had me in a corner
That's when Rosemary bent her knee
And the tape was free
of a few minutes of history
I may have mortally wounded my records
But my story is orderly!
As you can see I kept a record of every tape in my secret
History. Check it again against your list n’ see consistency
I never broke a law that wasn’t mine
You sent the dogs after my scent, that’s fine
Yes, I have reasons for shame
But I among them are not my TC-800B tapes
As you can see I have done nothing to provoke legal action
Are my answers to your satisfaction?

If I could spare that play
If I could trade George Allen's move for mine
The Redskins would've won right now
And you would smile, and that would be enough

I haven't seen this assuming the first line of the opening song is "Name is Alexander Hamilton and I'm here to say..."?

"I like to rap in a Treasury way"

Shakey δσς (sic), Tuesday, 12 July 2016 22:31 (seven years ago) link

the second song does have an 'i am the A-L, E-X' bit

the ghost of tom, choad (thomp), Wednesday, 13 July 2016 00:03 (seven years ago) link

it's interesting, if you watch the proto-hamilton clip of lin-manuel performing above, that while still obviously earnestly meant, he's playing up a lot more the irony and ridiculousness of the project. whereas the musical as it came to be is this far more populist thing.

the ghost of tom, choad (thomp), Wednesday, 13 July 2016 00:05 (seven years ago) link

yes everyone busting into laughter! instead of loud drunk shouting it at pool parties with a bunch of overemoting women because it means SO MUCH ~~~ if u r me

the lava-staring club (Abbott), Wednesday, 13 July 2016 00:54 (seven years ago) link

I think the show plays with a lot of these ideas---like having JL rap "I'm John Lawrence in the place to be" like he was Barney Rubble. But then contrasting that with Hamilton and Jefferson who have a Jay-Z vs Nas level rivalry.

My baby does the A-l-e-x-a-n-d-e-r part all the time now

Blowout Coombes (President Keyes), Wednesday, 13 July 2016 01:07 (seven years ago) link

Oh man I'd love to walk past a pool party of drunks shouting Hamilton lyrics

Blowout Coombes (President Keyes), Wednesday, 13 July 2016 01:09 (seven years ago) link

lin-manuel said having the rap get more complex and move from old school to more complex rapping was a characterization move!
