Room Where it Happens

For my first video I'm posting The Room Where it Happens from Hamilton. When I was at Interlochen for the musical theatre workshop we did this song and I played Thomas Jefferson.

[@hotepanthony3910]

You can tell the girl playing Jefferson really likes playing Jefferson lol.

[@theirishninjasanimations]

To be honest, their voice projection is spectacular, so it could be worse. Kudos to you, Assata and co.!

[@YenellyT]

Right I feel like the music is too loud

[@ReanaIsHere]

It’s kinda an exercise to sing without mics because if you’re loud and project your voice well without, you’re loud with the mic.

[@mairokindasus8807]

Nah bet that'll make it too loud or unclear, better leave it at their original voices. I'm not trying to create an argument or anything.

Damn. Burr was really good, the ensemble slayed me, and I A D O R E female Jefferson, who to me embodied all of the sassy perfectly. Honestly though, the ensemble. You all are amazing.

[@daprins75]

Good vocals. Would say more energy in the dancers and also better dance moves. But it was great. Burr was amazing.

[@hannahrose8175]

DaniWillRock I couldn't figure out why I didn't like what was going on around Burr. Now I realize that it wasn't the dancers; it was because the choreography was a bit strange to me. 😂 It's like they're trying to bring ballet to hip-hop... In some cases, it can be quite inventive. In this case, it made everything feel awkward. But the effort was there. The singing was spot on, though. (:

[@brOOFke]

The choreography was really close to the actual thing. Almost the exact same.

[@ilovelavenders1821]

Those were almost the same dance moves from the musical

[@hamzahussain7383]

Mmmmmm the dance moves were the same in the musical probably the costumes???

[@notalexus8125]

@@hannahrose8175 the choreography was almost exactly copied from the show, tbh as a dancer it seems like the dancers just weren't the most skilled. when they did kicks and stuff the technique just wasn't there

[@cybercube4436]

This was actually pretty darn good. Really liked Jefferson and Burr. Dang burr you can sing and Jefferson was perfectly in character. All that sass xD

[@ikutsaurpok]

BURR IS SUPER IMPRESSIVE! I wish hamilton had much more emotion. Also, ensemble blew me away

[@moxthecat787]

ikutsaurpok “Blow us all away!” (I just started singing) lol

[@loripatton5638]

Burr's vocals were good, but staging lacked a bit of the passion Burr's words are expressing as the song progresses (too small). I could have used a tad more energy and volume from Hamilton. Both Madison and Jefferson are great. Especially Jefferson. The ensemble vocals were great!!!

[@jackh8145]

people can have opinions, tbh, I agree with her-

[@blu4get]

Burr did great, and Jefferson was fabulously in character! Hamilton was maybe a tad bit stiff, but otherwise it was great! I liked the choreography. I wonder, did the leads have mics? It didn't sound like it, but they did an admirable job!

[@wahhh1673]

Naomi Barrister No, they didn't have mics its a black box theater so they just have to be loud

[@brownie3454]

Hamilton was mid af. It actually kinda pisses me off how far he is from the rest of the cast’s level. Is it standard to have Hamilton be the black sheep a la Lin Manuel? that would actually be quite humorous if that was the case

[@dartasmaine9062]

he should audition for burr in a few years.. or now. I applaud you guys!!

[@UsotheMarshmallow]

This was fantastic, I especially loved the ensemble's choreography! Aaron's actor was super great at capturing the emotion of the song, and you did fantastic as Jefferson!

[@UsotheMarshmallow]

Something in particular I loved was the part where it goes "and you'll provide him his votes? We'll see how it goes" "No. (one else)" A lot of covers just have Aaron singing the chorus when he says 'no' but having him saying it in response to Jefferson and Madison's conversation then the ensemble continuing on despite his protests really fit the song's meaning more, and a lot of times it's not captured in other performances. Great work on this!!
