Moments in Hamilton you can’t see or hear in the Cast Recording: Act I
Hercules Mulligan throwing flower petals at Eliza and Alexander’s wedding
When Angelica says ‘I’ll leave you to it’ in Helpless and you hear that beat and Eliza and Alex turn to each other as he offers his arm and they smile at each other
After getting Philip Schuyler’s permission to marry Eliza, Alex grinds and does this weird little dance, only for her dad to walk in again-
The revolutionary bros dancing when they’re drunk after the wedding. If you’ve seen it, you know exactly what I’m talking about
Laurens and Mulligan cuddling up to Burr to tease him about Theodosia
The revolutionary bros, especially Burr, have to physically hold Alexander back to stop him from trying to argue with Samuel Seabry
BURR DOESN’T DANCE DURING WAIT FOR IT. HE JUST SINGS TO THE AUDIENCE AND I FEEL LIKE CRYING
Alex spinning Eliza around when does that gravelly voice in Helpless. You know the one
In Ten Duel Commandments, Burr and Hamilton are ‘the second’s’ and when they discuss whether the duel between Lauren’s and Lee is worth it, it looks just like when Burr and Hamilton duel later on
Alexander holding Eliza when he finds out she’s pregnant and when she says “I wrote to the general a month ago” and you hear that frantic, unbelievable, ‘no’ and he immediately retreats from her. It’s a little heartbreaking
The spotlight on King George in What Comes Next being red and when he says ‘I’m so BLUE’ he stomps his foot angrily and the spotlight changes to blue instead
Jonathon Groff’s Facial Expressions
Before Non Stop, Alexander receives a letter from John Lauren’s father saying he died. When Eliza asks him if he’s alright, while he looks at John across the stage singing ‘tomorrow they’ll be more of us’, Alexander says ‘I have so much work to do’ before jumping into Non Stop
Hamilton stands on a lot of tables during Non Stop
When Angelica is holding Alexander’s hand and sings ‘Don’t forget to write’ Alex stays facing her and freezes as the stage spins and then when Eliza starts singing, she’s in Angelica’s place and Alexander didn’t move and UGH POETIC
When the chorus sings “HOW DO YOU WRITE LIKE YOU’RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME” before we have Washington’s line (yea, you know the one) and the ensemble holds up a giant piece of wood on an angle to act as Alexander’s desk rather than him actually sitting at a desk and it’s COOL
Washington and Eliza being at opposite ends of the stage, both at the top of stairs while Alex sings up at them from the ground during Non Stop
Angelica joining in halfway, as well as Burr and then them circling around him as he looks lost while they all sing at him
HAMILTON SCREAMING ‘I’M NOT THROWING MY SHOT’ DURING ‘JUST YOU WAIT’ AND HIM FIRST PULLING HIS ARM AWAY FROM ANGELICA AND THEN HIS HAND FROM ELIZA BEFORE RUNNING UP THE STAIRS TO STAND WITH WASHINGTON TO SHOW HE CHOSE THE COUNTRY AND POLITICS OVER HIS FAMILY
