This is the first time Burr says what he wants. he waited for it

[@reerutherford6109]

I love that! That’s a perfect way of putting it!

[@jeffy5482]

This is Burr’s “want song”. In most musicals the main characters have a song where they tell what they want, typically early in the first act. But because Burr doesn’t want to ruffle any feathers and “Wait(s) For It”, we finally get his “want song” in the second act. This is about The Compromise of 1790 where Alexander Hamilton agreed to have the Nations capital, which was NYC at the time, further south near Virginia in order to have his debt plan passed. The meeting was done in one room with Hamilton, Jefferson, and Madison where they agreed. No one else was there. No one knows what terms REALLY were discussed. Burr finally realizes that he wants to be in the “room” meaning he is done waiting and sitting on the sidelines.

[@leonh.kalayjian6556]

Yeah but Hamilton's I want song is my shot Fitting you have two of these. Actually wait for it is an I want song to o. Its burrs motivation for the first act. Wonder what musicals have than the one song... Has to be with two or three leads.

[@jeffy5482]

@@leonh.kalayjian6556 I don’t consider “Wait For It” as a want song. Even with the title, he’s saying he doesn’t really want anything. He’s willing to wait. Moreover, he’s trying to live up to others’ expectations of who they see him as. In “Wait For It”, Burr sings about the others around him and what they are doing. His legacy was to be as great as he thought they were. He doesn’t say anything other than he will wait. Waiting ≠ wanting.

[@karlwilker579]

@@jeffy5482 Wait For It is more of an I Am song. It's Burr explaining his ideology.

[@lyannastark628]

I love listening to this song, but you really have to see it to really feel it. Especially seeing how pivotal this song is towards Burr's relationship with Hamilton. Burr's face and physical reaction to Hamilton saying "When you got skin in the game, you stay in the game" is permanently imprinted on my brain.

[@1jidion]

talk less, smile more, was in aaron burr sir, the 2nd track of the album

[@JacobRestituto]

ahh thanks

[@reneepope-munro8115]

The Room Where It Happens - in the literal sense, the room where the deal was made to trade the Federal Bank in New York for placing the U.S Capitol on the Potomac. That happened behind closed doors over a dinner, and no one really knows how it went down, except those who were in "the room where it happened. On a meta level, it's addressing Burr's desire to be a playmaker. He isn't necessarily sure what he wants or what he believes is right, but he wants to be at the table when it's decided. When Hamilton speaks about what he wants, he talks of his vision for the nation. Same with the revolutionaries like Laurens, Mulligan and Lafayette, same with Washington and Franklin, even Madison. But when Burr asks himself what he wants, what he stands for, his answer isn't ideological or based in belief. He wants to be "in the room, in that big old room". And not just that he wants it, but he needs it - he sees his validation in being given a seat at the table. "Talk less, smile more" was his advice to Hamilton at the beginning of the show, and is really Burr's raison d'etre. The next line though, is perhaps more telling: "Talk less, smile more. Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for". This song is just a masterpiece of storytelling - in the live version you can see the switch in Burr. from wanting it somewhat passively to, I'm gonna make this happen, come hell or high water. He got left in the dust one too many times.

[@junipersr]

It is crazy they had to learn all the lyrics... they had to. I learned them all just because.

[@JacobRestituto]

hahahaha

[@ms_scribbles]

One interesting point about the lyrics in this song is how they subtly refer to the fact that Jefferson was known to tweak facts and retellings of events to make himself look better and make his political enemies look worse. Of course, nobody really challenged him on it because, well...he was Thomas Jefferson. It only came up later when historians compared diaries, letters, etc. from other people writing about something that happened and then compared it to what Jefferson wrote in what I suppose you could call his memoirs. So that's why when Jefferson starts talking about what happened, making it seem like Hamilton came to Washington's door, distraught and begging for Jefferson's help, the chorus sings out "Thomas *claims*..." rather than "Thomas says".

[@ms_scribbles]

And yeah, you've got the gist of it. Burr is jealous and bemoaning the fact that Hamilton has the influence to get into a room with Jefferson and Madison and cobble together a compromise where Jefferson and Madison will support his proposal in Congress for a National Bank and to have the federal government take over states' debts in exchange for Hamilton agreeing to support putting the US capital in Virginia. (And on a side note, he's also upset that Hamilton ruined New York City's chances to become the country's capital, though he doesn't seem to get that Hamilton just ensured that NYC would be the *financial* capital of the country, which on hindsight is much better.)

[@austinzimmerman9493]

It really is a lot of lyrics but if you listen to it all the time you’ll get to place where you know them all too😂😂

[@JacobRestituto]

I believe it

[@nicksmith2010]

From the first time I heard the soundtrack, I always loved the orchestrations backing Hamilton when he says, "When you got skin in the game, you stay in the game." It's just an awesome, low brass sound. By the way, I also really respect his lyrics in this song.

[@jayladavis5987]

It is very cool how they repeat the lines from previous songs, I love this musical

[@ferrous719]

Also! You didn’t talk about the fact they use a freaking banjo in this song! It’s truly makes it. Brilliant, BRILLIANT orchestrating.

[@lisaSKZSTAY]

I’ve thought it was a banjo this whole time until hearing it with his ears. Now I’m wondering if it might possibly be ...a ukulele???

[@jeffy5482]

@@lisaSKZSTAY nope. It’s a banjo. 😃

[@melbelle9499]

This song is such a pivotal point for the musical- it's where you really see a switch in Burr not wanting to wait for it anymore, while Hamilton quotes him suggesting that he needs to talk less and smile more to get what he wants. In the show, there's a shift in his movements as well. Burr previously only moved in straight lines until this point.

[@carolinehaf21]

Adore the Jazz in this and how the political tension builds to Burr finally snapping and saying he is going after what he wants finally... the drum groove in this is one of the best in the whole play! Jacob - you HAVE to see the choreography and the vocal performance on the Disney live because he becomes so much more passionate in the build up... there is an animation using the Disney live vocals so you can hear the difference but honestly its best to watch Leslies performance its amazing!

[@rachaelkilpatrick9774]

I love this too, especially when Burr goes full Disney Villain.

[@idontknowreally2474]

The "talk less, smile more" is from Aaron Burr, Sir :> It comes up in other songs too, but it's originally from that song.

[@JacobRestituto]

Oh cool

[@mysticwolf99]

I love this song, the rythem is catchy. This vid was truly what I needed after a busy day. Also the line "Talk less, smile more" was from 'Aaron burr, sir', same for "if you stand for nothing, what will you fall for?" so yes you did hear it before :). It does only go downhill but I can't wait for what you have to say on them and the songs at the end.

[@jamesjudge3891]

You missed an instrument. The Banjo is used only in "The Room Where it Happens" and the various iterations of "you'll be back." Lin does uses this motif and instrumentation often to emphasize character and parallel character arcs. Alex Lacamoire is an orchestration genius!

[@ssmccful]

Basically Hamilton, Jefferson, and Madison cut a deal behind closed doors (the details are in the song but they don't reallymatter), in the "room where it happens", which is where many big decisions are made. Burr, who has never had a strong position on anything, is seething with jealousy and finally admits to himself that he wants to be in the room where it happens too and resolves to do whatever it takes to be there. He sees that Hamilton gets ahead by "playing the game" and subsequently will start playing the game himself.

[@ibaxterrwoof]

Near the end, in the second last bar: 9:35 If you listen closely you can also hear Alexander's theme with the piano/strings. See if you can hear it!

[@lareeciscomusic2741]

When that banjo kicks in...

[@katesullivan4707]

Jefferson, Hamilton and Madison met alone over dinner and suddenly the capital changed from Albany to what is now DC but they also created what would become Wall Street.

[@jcompton8507]

It wasn't Albany. Under the Articles of the Confederation, the US Capital was rotating between NYC, Philadelphia, Annapolis, Trenton, and Princeton. Once the new US Constitution was established, the Capital was in NYC for less than 2 years and then in Philly for almost 10 years before moving to DC permanently. But all of those cities were in contention for the permanent residence of the Capital.

[@chrisv.h.2307]

It's interesting there's always this contrast between different hip hop styles in the music and more classical forms-- this song instead brings in a Dixieland jazz (old New Orleans Preservation Hall) style with the banjo, horns, and piano rhythms.

[@alizamyers165]

Essentially the concept of the song is this: Burr has spent his entire career trying to get the power that Hamilton has. In this sequence, they are referencing a real meeting that happened between Hamilton, Madison, and Jefferson where no notes were taken and no record of what was actually said survives. All that is known is that when the meeting started, the issues of the debt plan and the location of the US capital needed to be resolved. By the end of the dinner, each party had agreed to use their influence to further the other’s cause. Burr is jealous that he doesn’t have that kind of power.

[@NineAnutza]

Burr basically doesn't want to be left out of the conversations and his jealousy towards hamilton only started to grew from here on and he wanted to be in the room with the rest of them but wasn't allowed to.

[@Karen-Campos]

That banjo tho!! The choreography of this song is phenomenal. & don’t worry every movement is thought out & moves the story forward just as much as the lyrics and music! It’s been reported that if this musical was “traditional” in nature, it would take 6 hours instead of 2hrs 40 min. That’s certainly a LOT of memorizing! And performing 8 times a week! Leslie said the hardest part was all the openings that begin identically with “How does a ....”

[@vbvermont]

I’m learning some new things about the production and I’m always excited when we agree on whether something is a real instrument or a keyboard/sample. And yes, the “talk less, smile more” is a theme that came up early on in the musical. Hamilton talks all the time, sharing his ideas (often through writing) while Burr stays quiet, not giving away too much about how he feels so as not to make enemies but Hamilton always scolds him for it, saying if he stands for nothing, he’ll fall for anything.

[@curly_friez_4_lyfe]

The room in this case is literal the actual room where the cabinet members meet and traded things away, he says no one else is in the room where it happens. This means that no one else knows what they said in that room or what traded cuz no one was their, and he wants to be in that room he wants to be the one trading and making choices

That song is a mix of jazz, 20’s Charleston style music, then that melodic rap like A Tribe Called Quest. The piano is very reminiscent of New Orleans jazz. They always keep the jazz for Jefferson and rap for Hamilton, and soul/dancehall for Aaron Burr!

The room where all the major decisions of our country happen. Burr wants to be in that room. The song also talks about how we as a people, don’t really know what goes on in that room . We as a country as citizens, elect these officials but we are in the dark for the most part. At this point in the story Burr is tired of waiting or lying in wait. He wants to be in the room where all the decisions are made and be a part of it .

[@son_of_ottie]

There's some sax in there too at 7:55 which is unusual for this show. I never noticed it until now! It must be the jazz influence in ACT II.

[@deborahcarson4157]

So many of the post below explain very succinctly what happened in the room. Historically, this song is backstory of The Funding Act of 1790 aka The Compromise of 1790....."Talk Less, Smile More" is the first advice Burr gives Hamilton and is often repeated by Burr and Hamilton throughout the show.

[@ohnocamie]

Like someone else said, Hamilton decided to support Madison and Jefferson regarding the country's capital in exchange for votes towards his financial plan, and to this day, no one knows how that happened. Like the song says, no one else was in the room where it happened, all we know is what Jefferson said about it (and that's why there's the "Thomas claims..." in the song). Later he even started changing his account and basically saying Hamilton tricked him into supporting his financial plan, BUT no one else was in the room where it happened 🎶 and the room where it happens is Burr's metaphor for being included in big decisions. Leslie's performance is just.... amazing.

[@averybisexualbookworm]

[@vivianamora7505]

Sounds like Aladdin’s he never had a friend like me. It’s the Aaron burr Disney villain song

[@ComputerGeek1100]

Others have said too but this song is based on the Compromise of 1790, which was a closed meeting between Hamilton, Jefferson, and Madison. Hamilton’s financial plan didn’t have the views it needed to pass congress, so he asked Jefferson to use his influence to get it passed. Jefferson agreed on the condition that the capital of the country be moved further south, to make the legislation more appealing to the southern congressmen. As a result the capitol of the US moved from New York City to where it is now. Of course, because this was a closed meeting, no one except the 3 people there knew what happened, so Lin gives Aaron Burr’s perspective on the matter. Every time a verse begins - when Jefferson, then Madison narrate their issues, the staging depicts the three men entering the “room” (a box on the stage depicted with lighting) as Burr narrates

The room where it happens is referring to the fact that decisions and talks about things that happens in congress happen outside of congress. No one knows what is said during these deals or how senators really change the mind of those who oppose their deal or get them on their side as it is not the speeches made in congress that change their mind but the talks outside behind closed doors. In this case, no one knows how Hamilton managed to change Thomas Jefferson or James Madison's mind and got them to support his plan. The only thing people know is that it happened over a dinner in a certain room and that is it.
