[@matteaclaire5499]

My hobbies include: ✅ Watching people react to Hamilton for the first time and feeling proud as if I wrote it.

[@JacobRestituto]

haha

[@heidi_d]

SAME! 🤣😂🤣

[@sugasweet435]

Trust me. You're not alone

[@TheDonnalynn12]

I thought it was just me🤣

[@Tenchigumi]

My favorite thing ever is watching friends enjoy the stuff I like, which also has the unfortunate side effect of them driving me insane if they don't pay attention or dismiss said stuff without giving it a chance. Fortunately, I've NEVER had that happen with Hamilton, and I've almost never seen any online reactions (aside from one that got ratio'd into oblivion) displaying any dismissive negativity.

[@carloscamargo5577]

Non Stop is the best song of the musical because all the main charaters sing their lev motif it´s just amazing

[@JacobRestituto]

it's very cool!

[@whatdatechnodogedoin]

Ikr

[@whatdatechnodogedoin]

Also 99 likes time to make it un cursed

[@MrsE-xh3xc]

This is the reason it's my favorite

[@spooonkz]

def the best song 100%

[@lindseysquire8417]

It took Lin-Manuel Miranda six years to write Hamilton, and it shows in every single second of the show.

[@JacobRestituto]

Wow

[@pjb8295]

Imagine if someone somewhere is currently making another masterpiece

[@dinoGhandi]

@@pjb8295 i love this, it makes me feel so excited for the future :)

[@relaxer1148]

@@pjb8295 *Jefferson*

[@courtneylovett8307]

Ahh yes, my favorite cast/ensemble song. The storytelling, the motifs, all leading to that last section when each character sings their theme... Eliza: Helpless! That would be enough... Angelica: He will never be satisfied! Burr: Wait for it! Why do you write like you're running out of time... Washington: History has its eyes on you! To that last moment where they sing all together: HISTORY HAS ITS EYES ON YOU!!!! Gives me chills every time!!! And of course, Hamilton: I am Alexander Hamilton, I am not throwing away my shot! *chef's kiss* Perfection

[@Aprilbaba93]

Idk if someone mentioned this but Non-Stop incorporates 8 different songs from the first act as well as its own new addition at the start

[@JacobRestituto]

so cool

[@ssmccful]

The first act doesn't end on Yorktown because Hamilton is the story of Alexander Hamilton, not the story of the founding of America :) So they're establishing the next phase of his life with Dear Theodosia and Non stop.

[@paulmarsden7714]

I commented on this video for non stop which is the end of act 1

[@idontknowreally2474]

I believe Hamilton is the story of the Hamiltons, thus why it's the last name. :> The whole theme of the show is to tell Eliza's story of her telling Alexander's.

[@CaledonianCloud]

@@idontknowreally2474 I like this point! Never thought of it like that before.

[@Makenna860]

One of my favorite songs of the whole musical! Especially that ending when all the songs come together

[@JacobRestituto]

I feel that!

[@lilys120]

Is it just me who loves the part where burr and hamilton transition and burr goes like "IIIIIIIIIIIII am taking my time watching the afterbirth of a nation..." Just me. Okay.

[@smsudiversity]

I LOVE THESE HAMILTON REACTIONS! PLEASE DO A WATCH PARTY OR SOMETHING WHEN YOU DO WATCH THE FILM!!

[@JacobRestituto]

I'm gonna figure out how to do it!

[@smsudiversity]

@@JacobRestituto 👍❤

[@laptopgirl09]

I saw someone do it where they just time stamped it every time they went to start but didn't show the picture. Viewers would have both the youtube video up and hamilton

[@jeancaldwell5391]

@@laptopgirl09 I’ve seen and watched this being done with people reacting to songs which have been blocked. So they don’t show the video and it seems to work.

[@barborabenesova8126]

I loved the idea I heard some time ago: Eliza is the only one who is singing not rapping during the whole musical. It´s because she had the most time from all of the characters. She was the only one who didn´t have to rap (speak quickly to say everything she wants to say), but had time to sing it instead.

[@wellbuttermybiscuits7]

Also historically, I think she outlives most of them

[@ErisRising]

There's an interesting...gimmick, for lack of a better word that Miranda uses in this that you may or may have not noticed by now: Regardless of the song, regardless of whether or not it fits with the rest of it, Hamilton always introduces himself by singing his name in the exact same way that he sang it in the line "My name is Alexander Hamilton" in the opening song. It was a way of showing that he was always true to himself regardless of whether that served his interests or the interests of his nearest and dearest (and often to his and their detriment, as you'll see).

[@coolbeanz3003]

This song goes sooooo hard omg✋🏽😩 literally one of the BEST

[@JacobRestituto]

legit

[@chloegodfrey8386]

I feel like it’s sooo underrated too! This is my top song from the show & i struggle to find people that agree with me

[@avxlitis]

@@chloegodfrey8386 I agree, it's just so amazing and underrated.

[@122991000]

You know what this means? What’d I Miss is next!!

[@JacobRestituto]

yup

[@ejtappan1802]

I absolutely love this production and have watched it countless times on Disney, not to mention watching a ton of reaction videos from vocal coaches, theater coaches, and experts on music theory. And now I'm adding your reactions because you are focusing on the mix and production and making me listen in ways I haven't before. Thanks for doing these!!!!--- I can't wait for you to get through the rest of the album and then go watch the filmed piece to see how all the things you are picking up in the music are mirrored and echoed in the the visuals of lighting, staging, and choreography.

[@emilybennett6567]

Somehow the cast did not die of exhaustion at the end of Act 1 and made it back on stage for Act 2.

[@jeffy5482]

You asked about the panning of the characters’ singing. I am not sure about whether they are in one ear or the other but what I can say is this. During “Helpless” when Angelica and Alexander are talking, their sound is in one ear. During “Satisfied”, the song immediately following, their talking is in the other ear. The reason for this is that each song is from one sister’s point of view. So they have used that technique to demonstrate that, even if it’s subtle. That is an abridged version of what Alex Lacamoire has said.

[@Hellothere-kl1xy]

you have to react to the “the room where it happens” that’s probably my favorite dance and song number in the entire show!

[@JacobRestituto]

just filmed today

[@Karen-Campos]

Enjoying your break downs! What’s also uncanny about Hamilton lyrics is how accurately quotable they are in 2020!

[@JacobRestituto]

lol

[@princessmdg]

right, _”you don’t have the votes (a ha ha ha ha)”_ hits quite different this time of year

[@Karen-Campos]

@@princessmdg Awesome! Wow!😂

[@saxykaren]

To answer your "panning ears" question, there is one point in Helpless/Satisfied where they intentionally changed it from Eliza in the center (Helpless) to Angelica in the center (Satisfied) but using the same dialogue, everyone just shifts over.

[@TheDonnalynn12]

This song is absolutely EPIC!!! I love how they tie the first half of the play together!!!! To answer your question this is why they didn't end the first half with guns and ships or Yorktown. Outstanding!

[@rachaelkilpatrick9774]

This is a great series of reactions. I love everything about Hamilton, Lin’s rhythms and rhymes are amazing. The insights your reactions give into why the music sounds so special are brilliant. Can I give a shout out to Alex Lacamoire who did the orchestration for the show.

[@JacobRestituto]

it's fantastic!

[@MoonRaven1412]

No matter how many times I listen to this song, I always get chills.

[@JacobRestituto]

nice!

[@anitaingram3968]

I am loving these videos! I can't begin to count how many times I've seen the production on Disney+ as well as reaction videos. You are a pioneer in that you are the only person doing reactions that focus on the music instead of the lyrics, actors movements, etc. It's made me realize how much more the music tied into the choreography, stage movements, etc. When you finally watch it, PLEASE do it as a live stream so your fans can watch along with you. If you have to break it into two live streams, so be it. However, please allow us to share that journey with you.

[@saniyahahmad7217]

This is my favorite song out of the whole play

[@JacobRestituto]

nice!

[@paulmarsden7714]

Love this song. All the motifs from act 1 come together here

[@JacobRestituto]

wild

[@MastarNinja]

This song represent everything I love about this musical. Just like this song, there's so much throwed at you in such a small amount of time that every time you listen/watch Hamilton you find something you never knew or notice before. It could be a unnoticed musical effect, a callback to a other song, a foreshadowing or something as simple as realizing what the dance moves represent.

[@janp3331]

Have you decided if you will do a Hamilton watch along on Disney +? I would join Patreon just for that.

[@theshadowfax239]

I would join his patreon so fast if he had a full watch along!

[@okramando]

Every time you stop at a big moment, I expected you to react to the lyric as I do. I think most other reactors do when they listen. At first I was annoyed Then I realized that the music is what makes the lyric land. I've listened to this soundtrack more times than I can count. I'm hearing things I've never noticed before. Just wanted to say thanks. You let me experience Hamilton for the first time-again.

[@thainadaterra]

you should really check out Lin's episode on the show Song Explorer on Netflix. He talks and explain the process of the creation of Wait For It and why it's one of his best songs.

[@JacobRestituto]

fantastic, thanks! Maybe I'll react to it

[@amytucker1902]

@@JacobRestituto Both Lin and Alex talk to Hrishi about the song. So good. Hrishi is great host

The cowbell you hear is called an agogo. It's 2 little cowbells on a handle, you hit it with a stick.

Oh sick

[@CrownedNatty]

Love this song! Lin has this amazing gift of mixing so many voices/lyrics over each other like that. He does that in his first musical In the heights too!!

[@steve027]

Really enjoying these reactions to Hamilton. Great to see a different take on the instrumentals rather than just appreciating the music on a surface level. Keep it up man.

[@JacobRestituto]

Glad you like them!

As a big Hamilfan, and a big music fan, I’m glad I stumbled upon you!

[@JacobRestituto]

glad to hear it!

[@tiredallthetime1636]

Nonstop is the best song in the musical hands down. It has a piece of almost every song thus far and is a great way to close out act 1. I used to that Yorktown would have been a better ending to act 1 since it’s the big victory but nonstop sets up act 2 really well. It shows that we’re moving away from the Revolution and focusing on the founding of American government. So we’ll done

[@finleyforevermore]

In "The Reynolds Pamphlet", Jefferson's "WHAAAT??" can only be heard in one ear.

[@JacobRestituto]

sweet!

[@finleyforevermore]

@@JacobRestituto Yeah, it is! Hamilton is totally new experience with headphones/earbuds. That's all that I know about for now, but I'll edit it to tell you more if you want me to!

[@bellatommo13]

when he goes "I am not throwing away my shot" in the end you see the look of fear in Angelica's and Eliza's faces as he pulls his arm away and raises his voice that alwayd make me so emotional

[@JacobRestituto]

😱

[@carolinehaf21]

Oh thank God I just found all your Hamilton reactions in the past couple days as I got back into finding some reactions and wanted producer reactions and you're the best Jacob! Doing great for not having seen it!! I was hoping you hadn't stopped and just before bed you posted this one which is one of my favourite songs! Can't wait till ACT 2, especially the room where it happens!!

[@bronaghcannon8349]

This is the 'One Day More' of the musical! It gathers together all of the narrative threads and lets each character have a voice to remind us where they are. Layering the different melodies and moving from one tune to another within the same song essentially. Brilliant!

[@JurneezOfficial]

im surprised he didnt notice a piano version of the opening number playing during burr explaining the federalist papers

[@ladyshar42]

Can't wait to hear the second act! You should definitely watch it after you get through those. As far as other songs, since you've started in on Pentatonix, New Rules X Are you that Somebody is amazing. Havana is also really good.

[@JacobRestituto]

cool thanks!

[@abelhara2835]

Love your reaction videos. This is my favorite Hamilton song! I listen to it non stop.

[@JacobRestituto]

HAH

[@shahram72]

It's nice to hear from someone who gets it... All the major songs of the first act make a convergence here and that makes a perfect end to the first act.

[@JacobRestituto]

[@jeancaldwell5391]

I love so this musical. Lin has done so many clever things, and you’ve caught and commented on most if not all of them, including the many internal rhymes. He won a Pulitzer Prize for it.

[@ambera7159]

There was an ad after “the new US constitution?” and all I could think of was someone yelling “CUT! CUT!!” as Burr attacked Hamilton XD

That echoy piano comes back around...

[@JacobRestituto]

nice!

[@JacobRestituto]

so cool

[@ellemarie8846]

I know I’m really late but one of my favorite things about this song is that at the end Hamilton is singing “I’m not throwing away my shot” and the ensemble is echoing “Just you wait” as if foreshadowing that Hamilton is going to end up throwing away his shot later. It kind of echos this theme throughout the musical that the ensemble knows the story and are forced to play along and they are sitting here staring at Hamilton as if to say you will, just you wait, you will throw away the shot

Hearing the end of this, and how it all works together, shows you how don't talk about Bruno is not a one time fluke. Lin wants to show you how good at this he is, and he loves weaving a tapestry with what you've heard already.
