Just sat down to watch #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> I& #39;ve never seen Hamilton and have only heard snippets of songs. This is going to be a journey.
At the start of #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> two songs have to be the most popular? The "I& #39;m Alexander Hamilton" moment and the "shot" song. Those are the two songs I& #39;ve heard snippets. They both come within the first fifteen minutes!? What& #39;s left?
After the bar scene we get the three ladies. Peggy waltzes in with some sass. She seems like the odd one out of this trio. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
I do find it interesting that we can only see what the camera shows us but when you see a musical live you get a view of the whole stage and find little things. Does this take away from the experience or does the camera force you to focus on what the writer wants? #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
The rotating stage is really cool. Ahh the other two sisters are Angelica and Eliza. Still...Peggy for the win. Nice Thomas Paine reference. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
NYC greatest city in the world? I think they& #39;re playing the home crowd. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
This harpsichord song is my jam. Hamilton with the best line so far, "Don& #39;t modulate the key then not debate with me" I& #39;m going to try to use that in everyday life now.

Yes I have subtitles on to catch as much as possible. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
King George walking in with smug swag with a camera shot from behind. Dude has mad amounts of spittle. Sounds like a spurned parent who never wants their kid to leave. Totally an empty nest. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
George Washington has the best stage presence of anyone. Dude could be a HOF defensive end. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Hamilton just kind of put down secretaries...the third daughter is named Peggy. Don& #39;t knock secretaries. They rise up to take their shot. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
This song with sisters singing "I& #39;m Helpless" has a total 1990s R&B groove that I& #39;m really digging. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
With Hamilton getting married I wonder if this show throws a reference to @TrinityWallSt at some point. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Ben Franklin kite reference...I& #39;m here for this #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
So this song has multiple timelines? Which is the darkest? #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Angelica with the jealous toast. Something tells me this plot between these sisters is not over. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
The sinner and saints song by Burr is the most emotional song so far. Why is this not as popular as the others? Burr might be the best actor of anyone on stage after that song. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Imagine a Ken Burns documentary where the narrator did everything like the sequence about Washington passing over Hamilton to give Lee command. What a juxtaposition that would be #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
After the fight with Hamilton and Washington I realize #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> pace is incredibly fast. Does any other Broadway Musical move this fast?
We all need a friend like Lafayette to vouch for us like he did to Washington. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Mulligan would be a fun hang. You know that dude has some great stories. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
I figured #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> would have spent more time during the revolution...so I better get a good Federal Bank rap, Whig party rap, and Thomas Jefferson rap beef.
Intermission. The first half has been breathless. What a pace! #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
First half is real battles and now we have political battles. The first mention of a federal bank. Are we about to get real history nerdy? I& #39;m ready for it #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Are you kidding me! We actually are getting a Jefferson rap beef! THIS IS EVERYTHING #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Does this end with an encore talking about Andrew Jackson dismantling the federal bank? The beat of the "room where it happens" I need for my ringtone. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
We get a second Jefferson v Hamilton rap battle?! Yes please! #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Jefferson telling Hamilton, "Daddy& #39;s calling" is a brutal throw down. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
When people leave their job it should be required they sing "one last time" on a different note I& #39;m glad this didn& #39;t happen at Delta Sigma Phi pass the gavel at @Transy or we would still be sitting in the chapter room now. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
I thought we were done with King George but I& #39;m glad he& #39;s back for some comic relief. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
"he& #39;s never gonna be president now" is just a fun song. Also, pot meet kettle Jefferson. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
What a line "frocks to socks" by Phillip and a nice jab at New Jersey. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Right now best acting is between Eliza and Burr. They just crush it. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Hamilton is now entering his Edgar Allen Poe period. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
A dot Ham could actually work with my name but damn it& #39;s pretentious. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Hamilton& #39;s last monologue before the duel is incredibly well done. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
"Now I& #39;m your villian in your history" is a heart breaking line by Burr. It& #39;s the first thing you learn about Burr. #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
There is the @TrinityWallSt reference right at the end! #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
I think it& #39;s awesome Eliza gets the last word in #HamiltonFilm https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Great show. I& #39;m sure it& #39;s incredible live. I do find it interesting that the two songs that seemed to have entered the wider culture seem to come within the first twenty minutes of the show.
