The saddest thing about this is that Eliza, bless her heart, she told everyone else’s story when they died. But by the time she did, no one was there to tell her story…

[ayayaya]

I remember seeing a comment on social media that said: "Notice how Eliza is the only one who doesn't rap in the musical? It's because she's the only one who isn't running out of time in the story."

Tell me Lin Manuel Miranda isn't a lyrical genius. This is my favorite song, it gives me chills!

[khiuu]

theres a theory that apparently at the end when Eliza gasps, it was a representation of Lin Manuel Miranda bringing Eliza to the front of the stage to show her that her story has been told, im not sobbing you are

Here's to my queen, Eliza Schuyler. The woman who had every reason to walk out of Hamilton's life but chose to "put herself back in the narrative" 🍺

I'm literally in tears at the gasp part. all the time, it always had been about her, Eliza Hamilton. she was the main character, the unsung hero. it wasn't Alexander Hamilton who took her hand, it was Lin-Manuel Miranda, who told Eliza's story this time. and he showed her that all of her efforts weren't in vain, and they meant something, and the audience is finally listening to HER story.

Dang while watching this I just realized that a lot of people died and their story wasn't told at all and were forgotten

When they mention the orphanage, I remember a comment I read from a person who was in that orphanage. Idk why, just brings back that memory.

Gasp Theory: Eliza is the only true good character in the story even though bad things keep happening to her. Her son died tragically, her husband cheated on her, their reputation and name publicly dragged through the mud, yet despite the affair she forgave him, then the man who took her fathers senate seat ends up killing her husband. Despite all this she quietly endured and went on to do great and selfless things all the while appearing to be a secondary character. Then at the end of it all as she begins to walk off the stage, Alexander escorts her back to reaveal the truth: She's the main character, the heroine, and the whole show, even the title, are actually about Eliza Hamilton, and everyone else, even Alexander were only supporting characters. It's really Eliza's story. It's a nod to all the quiet unsung heroes, the ensemble who put in all the hard work but never see the recognition or glory, but whom without none of the story could have happened.

in the last part. It was actually Lin-Manuel Miranda now and not Alexander Hamilton holding Eliza's hand and Lin shows Eliza that he was the one to tell her story.

For the gasp at the end i imagined a more complete end:
Eliza: gasps and looks around with tears in her eyes, first at the stage, then the crowd, then the stage again, and looking back at the crowd with tears streaming down her cheeks and a smile on her face, says "My story was told"

[jeremiahgabriel]

Can anyone ever finish the entire album and not be sobbing by the end? 😭

[darwinwatterson]

The title of the musical was not Hamilton for Alexander Hamilton. It was for Eliza Hamilton.

[ecotvchannel]

This song makes me ask “have I done worthy things that will let my story be told?”

[ethosransom]

As soon as Eliza starts singing.. I always get goosebumps. It's just so beautiful

[vampylee]

I honestly was so close to crying for the first time in 5 yrs

[NOMADcourier]

I cried to this because history is important and this was a story that was worthy of telling.

[Forb-shuj]

Omg this was my intro to Hamilton TODAY. I see what the fuss was/is about now.. this is simply divine. 👌

wow ! eliza was such an incredible woman. telling her loved one’s stories instead of hers, another 5 decades later she still never told her story, so lin did it for her. notes:
• i love how there’s an endless cycle of storytelling. alexander was focused on his legacy that he never told it, and not a lot of people did bc he was the least important founding father, so eliza did it for him. but since nobody told eliza’s story, especially her, lin did it for her. someone will prob tell lin’s story about him sharing eliza’s story of eliza sharing ham’s story. it’s very cute .

2. this gasp can be interpreted into many things. every eliza is different bc i’ve seen either reach out to the audience to reunite with alex in the afterlife, or gasp in shock of her story being told. but for phillipa’s, i think it’s solely based on these 2:

infamous theory: lin is not playing a.ham, it’s just lin himself, leading eliza to the audience, she gasps in awe and shock that her story has been told to thousands of people, thanks to lin.

OR, it could be alexander’s ghost just showing eliza’s ghost that her story has been told.

my interpretation of the gasp that’s not the OBC:
every different person that plays a ham is either still playing as a ham, or just simply ooc towards the end. it could be that an other actor besides lin who plays alexander is no longer portraying him, it’s just the actor now, (or could either be still in character, but as alex’s ghost) that lets eliza know that people have told her story, which leads to her being in shock. alternatively, again lol, if eliza reaches her hand out to the audience, signifies that she is reuniting with hammie in the afterlife.

started with a.ham, ended with e.ham :, ) fly high eliza
