I‘m showing my parents Hamilton (well…the soundtrack…because who has money these days) and my mom was crying by the start of Satisfied and I’m just like…can I in good conscience show her It’s Quiet Uptown? I’m gonna have guilt at the end of this.
BUT HAMILTON IS IMPORTANT SO I’M GONNA DO IT ANYWAY.
Update: my mom, like me, is a Gryffindor to the bone. My mom, like me, basically burst into tears during Yorktown (I mean, I burst into tears for me, which was…like…two tears total, but whatever). Why do Gryffindors all cry during Yorktown? is it because we’re all combative victory-loving people? Because that’s my explanation.
I’m trying not to think about the upcoming trainwreck now that we just finished Say No to This, SO. It occurs to me that, in Hamilton, basically every female character who appears except Peggy (who…doesn’t really appear) is in love with Alexander Hamilton. AND YET. They still pass the Bechdel test with the very first appearance of the Schuyler sisters.
BURN.
OW OW OW OW.
Well, we just started Blow Us All Away.
It’s been my pleasure to know y’all; I like red flowers, especially roses, so bring those to the funeral.
It’s Quiet Uptown.
In case you were curious.
You have not known guilt until you make your parents cry with a musical you talked them into watching.
