Getting caught up on these since I finally watched Hamilton - love that you both are getting me to watch things I normally wouldn't, and I'm enjoying it immensely. So about that next big project... 😆

2024-08-04 16:52:23 +0000 UTCYeah, he had Bipolar disorder. Back then they didn’t know how to treat it, so his doctors used to physically torture him. They said the pain would distract him from his mind. Unfortunately, it just made it worse.

2024-07-24 23:21:50 +0000 UTCFun fact: LMM was asked if he wanted to CGI out the spit during You’ll Be Back, but he refused, thinking it was funny haha

2024-07-24 23:18:50 +0000 UTCCatching up on these! For the record "Farmer Refuted" - while it might have a double meaning, is also just the name of Hamilton's response to Samuel Seabury. In real life, these were basically like published articles, not an argument in the street, and Seabury wrote his anti-revolutionary texts as "A Westchester Farmer". So "Farmer Refuted" is basically Alexander Hamilton saying "This Farmer is talking shit and here's why."

2024-06-30 01:25:50 +0000 UTCSomething else I love about Jonathan's performance is that he doesn't blink at all during this performance, he closes his eyes briefly when he hits "can't go on" but outside of that he keeps his eyes open the whole time

2024-06-26 11:37:55 +0000 UTCwhile it sounds like a waltz - and you definitely could waltz to it if you really wanted, since it's still a three-beat - it's definitely a minuet. fits better historically and makes more of a point to reinforce the class difference! also recognisable by the almost exaggerated accent on the first beat (that I think you comment on too, actually).

2024-06-26 07:56:46 +0000 UTCAlso btw in case you haven't already been told/don't already know, King George III was famously known for becoming "mad" (as in not fully mentally sound/stable) in his old age, which is what the line "when you're gone, I'll go mad" is referring to

2024-06-26 07:41:39 +0000 UTCThere could be another way to interpret Alexander as a farmer, in that he's sowing/planting the seeds of revolution!

2024-06-25 19:04:47 +0000 UTCI love Jonathan Groff. He is in one of my favorite musical podcast called 36 Questions. He is an absolute joy to listen too.
