[sandstorm]

“Your enemy whispers so you have to *scream* “ — literally Hamilton’s whole personality

[caiden]

Burn: "Are you me?"
First Burn: "Well, yes, but actually no."

[beanbeanowo]

Angelica: “Damn, I dodged a bullet.”
...
Eliza: “Alex sure didn’t.”

[petertingle]

"they are your legacy, we are your legacy" GETS ME EVERY SINGLE TIME

[cesscaellao]

I like to think everyone of them were facets of Eliza. The subservient wife, the disgusted woman, the slighted mother, the loving sister, and the girl who believed in true love.

[poarose]

"I see how you look at my sister..." *CHILLS LITERAL CHILLS*

[conniemcfalcon]

"I see how you look at my sister"

[tamayako]

I love how they focus on Rachelle whenever Eliza's pissed off, she really brings that anger out. Come to think of it, all the ladies seem to showcase different emotions/thoughts. Shoba for example really sells that heartbroken mother feeling, both in voice and mannerisms.

[cattothething]

Rachelle's "DON'T" sounds like she's about to kill Alexander if he takes another step closer to her-

[kendraobrycki]

5 angry sopranos in a room= a burnt Ham. 😆

[annatay]

Eliza's kids: hey mom what's for dinner?
Eliza: Burnt Ham
Alex:👁👄👁

[Isabella-ubyy]

"i see how you look at my sister" THE CHILLS IT WENT TO MY SPINE, best line in this song

[jimblejambles]

Man, Hamilton may roast people, but when Eliza is done with someone, she just lights a BONFIRE

[violet]

So... nobody's talking about the last part where they were literally belting off their high notes? Cuz I honestly loved that part

[jai-md]

everyone is talking about "I see the way you look at my sister" part
But honestly are we forgeting the "DONT"

[BlueVampire]

"And when the time comes
Explain to the children
The pain and embarrassment
You put their mother through
When will you learn
That they are your legacy?"

My husband left me when I was 4 months pregnant with our second child and just last month he officially moved across the country to live with his girlfriend. Hearing this line in this song hit home for me!

[sillygoosetaur]

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT *”THEY FALL FOR YOUR CHARMS, ALL YOUR CHARMS”* It just has such power and hatred and anger and just.. yes

[eyesnyu]

That first "DON'T!" was laced with so much disgust and anger, I could almost hear Rachelle grinding her teeth.

[auxiysuscosas]

"I see how you look at my sister" BOY WHY THAT DIDN'T MAKE THE FINAL CUT, IT'S EVERYTHING, THIS IS SO GREAT

[fantazemik]

“I see how you look at my sister” HOLY SHIT THAT NO ONE TALKS ABOUT HOW IMPACTFUL THAT LINE IS LIKE FOR REAL!!!!
