This Is Incredible

Lin Manuel Miranda hosting SNL (October 8th, 2016)

Washington: Alexander why do you have a bunch of small purple bruises on your neck and collarbone?

Alex: Uhhhhhh...they're kisses from the universe

John: I'm the universe

Hamilton Crack (1/?) Because we all know it’s true! lol. (x)

Bonus (I couldn’t resist):

Truuuuue 😭😭😭

And Peggy

when you make fun of the “and peggy’s” 

But you realizes she’s got your man

and you are alone

and you’re like WHAT THE HECK I GOTTA DO TO BE WITH YOU 

in their eyes i see you alexander, i see you every time the children don’t listen to something really simple i ask of them

I hate the cars franchise, so this is accurate

Lin-Manuel Miranda on Saturday Night Live

The fucking song and the hysterically thrown pillow that misses by ten feet and the prolonged scream and then it just runs out of cord and anticlimactically tips over I’m deceased.

Daveed Diggs on ’Jimmy Kimmel Live’ (September 28, 2016)

phillip hamilton things, for people who haven't or can't see the show.

-during his rap in take a break, he starts out nervous and then kid gets WAY IN TO IT, bending his knees and flexing his arms and yelling. alex hugs him and looks so proud and phillip is so pleased with himself. it’s precious.

-during reynolds pamphlet, jefferson, madison, and burr take him up front, surround him, and show him the paper. they point and say “at his own house? at his own house? damn.” out loud to him and oh my god his face, he’s shattered. you can physically see his father get taken down a peg in his eyes. I can’t even describe it. it was heartbreaking.

- I always pictured his argument with george eaker happening up close, like he pushed past a bunch of people and was up his face. but no, eaker is up on the balcony and in true hamilton fashion, phillip is making a scene and shouting at him from below. the actors in the “play” even stop to watch, and you’re like damn this really is alex’s son.

-when he’s telling his dad about the duel, alex is standing with his arms folded (and using his “dad” voice) and phillip looks so sheepish but also defiant and it reminds me so much of “meet me inside.”

-“stay alive reprise.” tore. my. heart. out. which I knew it would but jesus. no mercy. I was full on sobbing. (eliza screams at the end of it and I can’t even describe that. it’s so horrible and your breath catches in your throat and she sounds so worn down and destroyed. she’s held it together throughout all the shit alex put her through but in that moment it all comes crashing down and you can hear so much pain. It’s heartbreaking and beautiful. the acting is amazing.)
