Can we please talk about Angelica Hamilton????

Angelica Hamilton, the second born to Eliza and Alexander Hamilton, named after Angelica Schuyler. She was said to be very outgoing and charming, and while Phillip learned to play piano from Eliza, Angelica and Alexander were really really close, and Alex taught her to play piano himself. The piano they used was given to her by the original Angelica, and is still is around today. 

But the thing people remember her most for, was her breakdown.

She and Phillip were the best of friends growing up, and when Phillip died in the duel, she had an CATASTROPHIC mental breakdown. Her brain was altered and she had the mind of a child for the rest of her life.

When this happened to her, Alexander was horrified. It’s said that at Phillip’s funeral, he was so sad he couldn’t even stand, yet for that entire fall, he bought everything to make Angelica comfortable and doted on her every whim to see if they could help her.

Angelica wouldn’t recognize any of them at all, and would frequently speak of Phillip as though he was still alive.

Eliza took care of her for many years until it got to be too much for her and Angelica was placed in the care of a doctor.

She lived to be 73, and outlived her mother by 2 years.

The only thing she retained from childhood after the breakdown, was her piano. She still owned the same piano and would still play the same songs Alexander taught her as a child.

Well, I didn’t need my heart

I AM DECEASED.

THIS IS SO CUTE

Burr oh my god you so cute rn?!?!?

“You won’t believe what happens next!”

“Colonials hate him! Local monarch exposes shocking tea tax! Learn the truth now!”

I’m in love with the Chicago cast!

YOU GUYS

Okay, just… stick with me here for a moment. 

 If any of you are Hamilton fanatics like I am, you know that at the end of Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story, aka the end of the show, that Hamilton leads Eliza to the edge of the stage and she gasps in relief(?) pleasure(?) disbelief(?)

She gasps in SOMETHING. 

Now, now, this is where you have to stick with me some more. 

 What if… what if Eliza is gasping because Hamilton is showing her the GIANT AUDIENCE AT THE FUCKING MUSICAL OF THEIR LIVES? What if she’s gasping because she’s AMAZED that all her work to make sure their legacies were secure was finally recognized and that SO MANY PEOPLE are THERE? 

What if she’s gasping because it’s finally happening? She and her husband are finally, FINALLY getting the moment they deserve?

I’ve cracked the code, I swear to God. 

WHAT IS THIS

I have been aching to draw some fan art of 21 Chump Street, and so here’s a mock-up poster? It’s a really great 14 minute musical, and I highly recommend it!

You learn very quickly that the trappings of [becoming a celebrity] is how much you bring to it. If you surround yourself with three security guards and an entourage, people are gonna look at you. As opposed to my friend Josh Groban, who takes the train to work. And he’s Josh Groban. He’s got millions of fans. He wears it lightly. He’s still just a guy. I’m inspired by that. I refuse to sit on a pedestal that people want to put you on. I’ll write a dumb tweet in the morning and someone will be like, “Pulitzer Prize winner. Can’t get his coffee right.” You can’t stop being the person you were just because more people are looking at you.

Times it is acceptable to say “man up”

When singing the Book of Mormon

Times it is acceptable to say “be a man”

When singing Mulan

That is it. There is no other time to say this without being a sexist turd

That moment in a musical when all the songs are mixed to make one giant reprise and you can’t decide which part you want to sing.

is this elder price?
