Jonathan Groff was the original King George on Broadway and in the cast recording. He left the show after about a year but came back for the Disney filming, so it is him in the TV clip you have (which was likely from the Disney movie). And yes, Groffsauce (his drool) is a normal occurrence for him.

I staged managed Jonathan Groff at Ephrata Performing Arts Center when he was in high school, and he not only drools and spits, he sweats like crazy! It's a testament to his amazing talent that you overlook all of that really quickly when he's on stage, and despite that quirk -- which is actually a physical condition -- you are completely mesmerized by his performances. In Hamilton, they made use of it to make King George look totally mad -- rabid, in fact. He's an absolutely brilliant performer.

I know you were startled by the sharp transition after "You'll Be Back," but if you think about it, the lyrics are literally about how King George is about to send massive amounts of troops to the colonies, and then in "Right Hand Man," they tell us that King George has just sent a ton of troops to the colonies. So thematically, it actually makes a lot of sense, it's just such a strong stylistic difference in the music and the shift from comedy to seriousness that makes it so jarring.

The significance of Hamilton's "friends" plays directly into Washington's concerns about "working with a third of what congress has promised" because they bring. You'll remember in My Shot, Laurens talks about his dream of creating the first black battalion; Laurens ends up seeking approval from congress to recruit slaves to fight in exchange for their freedom and that brigade brings thousands of additional soldiers to the American side of the ware. Lafyette is a french aristocrat and also a brilliant fighter who contributed not only his military tactical genius to the war, but who was also essential in gaining aid from France for the American army. And Mulligan mentioned in My Shot that he's a "tailor's apprentice". In fact, Mulligan was a tailor for British officers and as a result was able to spy on the British army and send valuable information back to the American Army, including information that saved Washington's life multiple times. So actually, Hamilton's friends are indeed the solution to the lack of resources/manpower provided by congress.

"I am the very model of a modern major general," is one of the iconic lines from the Pirates of Penzance, which is a highly comedic English operetta from the mid-1800's. The song "Modern Major General" is actually meant to be very ironic, (much like the rest of the show), as Major General Stanley expounds on how he has extensive knowledge on every topic except for military strategy.

At the very end of "You'll Be Back", and before "Right Hand Man", the King starts walking off stage. Two female ensemble actors come on stage and pass a note from one to the other. A British soldier sees these colonists passing notes and come up behind the actress who now has the note, and snaps her neck. King George sees this from near the edge of the stage, and points his scepter at the dead woman, as if to say, "See what you get for defying me", and then he steps off the stage.

The turntable stage is often used to move people and furniture during songs. It's done so quickly and seamlessly that one might not notice the set up of a new screen until it starts.

Great video! About the time skip, there's a lot of that, specially later on. You have to remember that this musical covers over 40 years of history, in fact, there's one song alone that goes over like 7 years of Hamilton's life. In any case it's normal for you to be a little disoriented while watching separate videos and from such different "sources" 😂 What might help you to link these three is to kind of link them in sequence. Like Farmer Refuted introduces the idea of the people in the colonies resisting the independence movement and siding with the king. Then that scene is interrupted by the cast singing "silence, a message from the king!" which then introduces You'll be back. The King is basically reacting badly to the news of the revolution in the colonies, and then techincally does send many fully armed batallions: the 32 thousand troops in New York harbour. You know, the actual war is now on, so we need Washington to lead it. I wanted to comment that I really like how you focus on Lin's body language, I also think he does a fantastic job portraying Hamilton with small details like his posture. And! You also picked up a little on the fact that there are music genres assigned to different characters/situations/symbols. USA and the revolution are hip-hop/rap, the King has a Beatle-esque break up song, and so on. It's another layer of brilliance to this musical!

He was actually more middling at best. What really set him apart is that he was exceptional at knowing when to retreat. This story does a good job of emphasizing that he isn't this god amongst men military leader by having his first appearance in the musical be about how he needs someone to help him and take the load off his shoulders and emphasizing just how hard he and the rest of the revolution's soldiers had it.

You definitely picked up on the fact that the more radical the character the more "modern" their music. It goes further than just the difference between the colonists and the British. In the next songs, you will be able to see which is the more traditional sister and which is more radical by listening to their songs. In addition, note that although Washington is a rebel, he is much more conservative than Hamilton and crew so when he raps it is a more old-school type of rap than the others. And like everybody already pointed out, Jonathan Groff played King George originally and was asked to return for the filmed version to reconstruct the original cast. It is both him in the video and him singing and no he doesn't have any people around him when he says "everybody, now". This is technically a fairly small role in the film but he makes the most of it. Lin Manuel Miranda was apparently terrified when Hamilton debuted in London that the British would be mad about the way he eviscerates the King but apparently they thought it was great. Finally, I can't watch this sequence and not think of Russia and Ukraine. Putin practically quotes You'll Be Back in his speeches and the Ukrainians are so outunned, outmanned etc.

I commented on the last video about the crunched up timeline. These songs are a perfect example. The events described in "Farmer Refuted" six years PRIOR to the events of the Schuyler Sisters, and didn't involve Alexander Hamilton at all. The other two songs were a year AFTER the Schuyler Sisters. Also, the bit when both Miranda and Thayne Jasperson (playing Samuel Seabury) are both on the box, and it looks like Jasperson is about to fall off, causing Miranda to grin and pull him back up was an accident. Jasperson really did lose his balance and relied on Miranda to keep him from falling. Hence Miranda's momentary breaking of character.

I know I'm way late to respond and perhaps this has been clarified in later videos, but I feel I need to comment a) for the algorithm gods and b) to get it out of my head lol There are a ton of time jumps in this show. They had to cover the entire life of Hamilton, but just going from his arrival in the colonies, it was pretty quick in the show. The first song basically covered his early life up to his arrival in 1772, and addressed the entire path of his life until his death. The second song then jumps to 1776 when Hamilton actually met Burr. From there it progressively jumps. Technically he didn't meet Laurens for another year after that. Then with the Schuyler Sisters, there's likely at least a few months' jump from Story of Tonight, because they'd have to have established the revolution and printed/sent out all their pamphlets. It runs super fast in the show, but that's because it had to span 32 years (1772, Arrival in the colonies to 1804, death) in a show limited to only a couple hours at most. I'll put away my nerd glasses now, I just felt the need to type this up lol I love the reactions, regardless.

i don't know why no one gets this: King George literally went mad. his spit is a nod to that, as well as being a theatre acting practice.

The moment you missed between You'll Be Back and Right Hand Man sets up the trough line of "the bullet", equally important is the insinuation that war had officially begun.

Fun History Fact: Towards the End of King George III's reign he was declared insane and unfit to rule so is son became king regent. There was a line in "You'll be back" where King George says "when you're gone, I'll go mad..." and I think that was referencing what would become of him after the revolutionary war.

I know I keep commenting BUT it would be best to have A Winters Ball, Helpless, and Satisfied in one video bc the songs keep going right after each other like Aaron bur Sir and My Shot. Also the word play on the song names is amazing! Satisfied sounds like a happy song but it's sad and Helpless sounds like a sad song when its very happy :D

The original cast recording was done in a studio, while the Hamilton film was shot over 3 performances, two with audience and then 1 with just cameras set up in front and behind the stage (to get the King's walk)... I'm hoping you watched the Hamilfilm after reacting. Love this musical so much I spend hours watching reaction videos.... lol

"This is not this guy's voice" Of course not, we see Jonathan Groff and the voice is the one of Jonathan Groff. Why would someone think it's the same person? :D

Just so you know, the people watching these reactions probably don't care if you just listen to the recording because we had to do the same for 4 years before the film came out.

Reminder that performing on stage often involves spitting as it often happens when you're projecting and enunciating at the same time, plus isn't usually visible from the audience. Also you have to remember that fitting decades of a man's life into a couple of hours is going to include a few jumps in time. (And the stars are because this is a copy of the official Disney sing-a-long video.)

Great video! I’m glad you’re finally watching Hamilton. I haven’t really commented on your videos much but I’ve been here a while- and when your done with Hamilton I think you should check out Underverse. It’s a very different type of content, but the animation is immaculate and the story is even better.
