You JUST know Lin watched this and cried tears of JOY

[SaxophoneAsh]

I would have screamed in joy if I was in the audience

[Biamazing]

This is literally me while trying to sing all the parts of the song by myself

[summernovah]

Honestly, this is so nice. He looks so happy during his performance. It's like it's come full circle, as well.

Even if I didn't already like Chernow's books, I'd love him for stuff like this.

Chernow didn't throw away his shot

[horrrr]

Notice how he has every word memorized

Let me just tell you. I discovered this channel while looking for Hamilton Lafayette roleplayers. I subscribed ironically without really caring about the videos. When I saw this notification I almost ignored it but as I read the title I screamed. Now I'm so glad I clicked the video

If I get into Lafayette College, I’m going to play this video to my family and friends to tell them

[SeborgaBoi]

He should've rapped Lafayette's part in Aaron burr, sir or Gun and ships. Get it? Because Lafayette College :'D (but Guns and ships might be too fast for him XD)
