the musical hamilton but every time i cry it gets faster
Hercules: John, tell us a secret!
John: Okay, I have a crush on Alexander!
Lafayette: Non, he said a secret.
Hercules: Why is Alex on the rooftop?
Lafayette: He likes to be tall.
me: wow i can't believe you guys are making me perform all of 21 chump street
my friends: we're really not
me: the plan was called Operation D- and one of the schools included in the plan was Park Vista Community High School, where a kid named Justin Laboy - thAT'S ME
The hair flips of the century
-during his rap in take a break, he starts out nervous and then kid gets WAY IN TO IT, bending his knees and flexing his arms and yelling. alex hugs him and looks so proud and phillip is so pleased with himself. it’s precious.
-during reynolds pamphlet, jefferson, madison, and burr take him up front, surround him, and show him the paper. they point and say “at his own house? at his own house? damn.” out loud to him and oh my god his face, he’s shattered. you can physically see his father get taken down a peg in his eyes. I can’t even describe it. it was heartbreaking.
- I always pictured his argument with george eaker happening up close, like he pushed past a bunch of people and was up his face. but no, eaker is up on the balcony and in true hamilton fashion, phillip is making a scene and shouting at him from below. the actors in the “play” even stop to watch, and you’re like damn this really is alex’s son.
-when he’s telling his dad about the duel, alex is standing with his arms folded (and using his “dad” voice) and phillip looks so sheepish but also defiant and it reminds me so much of “meet me inside.”
-“stay alive reprise.” tore. my. heart. out. which I knew it would but jesus. no mercy. I was full on sobbing. (eliza screams at the end of it and I can’t even describe that. it’s so horrible and your breath catches in your throat and she sounds so worn down and destroyed. she’s held it together throughout all the shit alex put her through but in that moment it all comes crashing down and you can hear so much pain. It’s heartbreaking and beautiful. the acting is amazing.)
i sketched these out real quick for u anon!!
Let’s all just admit it, none of us really know the lyrics of Going Down by Fall Out Boy but none of us want to actually look up the lyrics so we don’t look like pussies who don’t know the lyrics.
Jefferson: When you said "magical in bed" this isn't exactly what I was exp-
Madison: *holding up 8 of hearts* Is this your card?
Jefferson: *softly* Holy shit.
