2017 MDT Hamilton Quiet Uptown

[@caitlinsloan2475]

Okay, a few things: 1. My first reaction to the video was OHMYGOSH ANGELICA IS GORGEOUS 2. Holy crap the emotion in this video is on point 3. Alexander is actually brilliant 4. I love the use of the candles 5. I was not expecting Eliza's voice, but I loved it 6. That hug at the end was absolutely perfect - great acting 7. THAT APPLAUSE AT THE END WAS NOTHING, WHERE WAS THE ENTHUSIASM THEY DESERVED WAY MORE THAN THAT

[@artsandcraftsstuff2114]

These people are either really good actors or they really love Hamilton. The emotion that can be seen on some of their faces is like a gun aimed right at your feels zone. I mean some of them seem like they're on the verge of tears, while the others are just stoney faced like they don't even want to try to show their emotions. Truly well done.

[@katie4568]

Both

Both there amazing

[@corvus1374]

If you haven't, check out the Working With Lemons channel. They do a lot of the Hamilton songs in full costume.

Nah I was crying too loud to hear it 😭

[@ginnybell1264]

Oh my god The candle meant Philip Eliza had to let go to forgive Alexander Angelica had to help, even force it a bit, and even still, Eliza mourned her baby

[@zoelardent3213]

Yes. That makes so much sense. It makes everything so much sadder though.

[@retrohero8622]

That indeed makes more sense that the candle represents Phillip.

[@bareabopopera3091]

I love the candles and the emotion in their hamiltons voice is so strong

[@BetteDavis19]

after he says "look at where we a-a-are" you can literally hear an audience member say "WHAT" at 1:56 haha. I had the same reaction the first time I heard this song. I couldnt believe they were reprising the same words from that would be enough in such a dark and emotional way like dang. just shows how much these students did this song justice.

[@yoyoeldas]

This is like my favorite song in the whole show and they did it justice!

[@ThunderClanFan22]

yoyoeldas I love this song it's so sad but happy at the same time dunno why?

[@jaymemoss1649]

The amount of emotion and work that has been so obviously put into this is absolutely breathtaking. This is amazing. I truly believe that everyone of these kids preforming has a future as a musician. Keep it up!!!

[@BetteDavis19]

wow. the staging for this is incredible. how they hold the candles as a tribute to phillip and they literally have to pry it out of elizas hand. and their hug after forgiveness is so emotional and passionate and how they fall to the ground in grief but they're there to support each other. god I am sobbing AHH

Eliza did a phenomenal job and all she did was sit, cry, and sing one line?? That's some next level acting right there. All three did amazing jobs!!

[@paigegibson]

Who else recognized Ari from Working With Lemons right away? I love how she plays Angelica in this and in the working with Lemons videos. Also this must’ve been where they got the main characters costumes from for the Working with Lemons videos. As the dresses for Angelica, and Eliza, and Hamilton’s outfits are the same.

[@LouderThanLife7]

So beautiful and touching! Chills! They didn't just sing the song they put their hearts and souls into and you can tell.

[@siddmic]

The dude playing Hamilton…perfect…just perfect man! Great combination of singing talent and emotion without overdoing it and just letting the emotion of the song carry itself. Wonderfully done for everyone else as well! Falling to the ground at the end was an excellent directorial choice. Loved the candle bit where it was a little struggle to pull it away.
