You’ll Be Back - Hamilton - Big Night of Musicals

[@christophercarter6801]

As a British man who has studied the American Revolution for years and is my biggest passion in history. This song is perhaps the best capture of who King George III was. It's ironic in a show about a leading American General, it is the King of Great Britain who has the best songs and the best humor. King George III was well renowned for being normal one moment and then going into an absolute rage within seconds. This song captures that so well and it adds the humor to this song.

[@teddychu1177]

Especially because it's showing the start of the King's mental decline(if not pronounced yet)

[@NickJones-cl3lz]

That's not irony.

[@frankendragon5442]

The villain always gets the best lines.

[@SeanGilbertson]

Well, in his later years he had porphyria, which could lead sufferers to be mentally unstable as well as other awful symptoms. My understanding is that this portrayal wasn’t his entire personality. He wasn’t “evil,” or stupid on the whole.

[@maewhite4017]

this performance had me in tears, just SO well placed vocally and so, so funny 😂

[@silentman151]

Watched Hamilton yesterday at the Victoria Palace. (not cheap) Daniel's performance of You'll be back was the highlight of the show for me. Worth every penny of the ticket price to see his facial expressions and hear this great song !!

[@maewhite4017]

Aaaah! I need to go!

[@christophercarter6801]

The song is a brilliant mocking of King George III mixed in with a fantastic British sense of humor. It's also a great song.

[@rachealseekings3968]

This song has been in my head since I heard it😂

[@tanjakrone4147]

Great performance! I also loved that he stayed in character while leaving the stage 😂

[@MartyOfEarth]

That "EVERYBODY!" hits different with all of Britain singing with him.

[@warchcosi]

It's borderline sinister 🤣

[@christophercarter6801]

It's because British audiences get involved like that. Plus the song is a comical number which has a lot of British humor in it. Hence why it hits more with the Brits than the Yanks, and no it's not because it is portraying a King lol. It's openly mocking King George III and the one thing the Brits are good at, is taking the piss out of themselves. Something Americans don't quiet understand. As Stephen Fry once said, "This is the difference between American and British humor. In a comedy if a man was on a stairs and was playing a guitar that wasn't working, Americans would want to be in the audience laughing at that man. The British would want to be the man playing the guitar which wasn't working." Sums it up fairly well. I'm not saying Americans don't get comedy or have a sense of humor, it's just different to the British. Hence why Brits get more involved in comedic songs taking the piss out of something British.

[@MartyOfEarth]

@christophercarter6801 Lecturing about humor, yet you didn't catch my comment was humorous. Fascinating.

Musical actors love nothing more than going home early. So 5 minutes after their last song they'll be in the car, racing towards their couch. Who can blame them.

[@thejason347]

@@NM-js8ky So you would like to believe that the actor that plays King George (in every production of the show) never comes out for applaus because he's too humble? Rather than face the fact that musical actors also have lives they want to get to after work?

[@steelsheen]

thank you for uploading this i've been keen on seeing the different versions of King George spesh those performed by UK actors since obvs the perspective of the American revolution is different across the pond 😅

[@FATBAZ01]

I,ve never seen Hamilton. Mainly because i thought it was hip hop and rap etc. This tune has opened my eyes a bit. Absolutely fun and opened my eyes. . Best I research the show . Luvvit.

if you watch with jonathan groff it's even better

He's a better and more pleasant singer than Jonathan Groff, and he did very well. But Jonathan Groff is well, you know, king.

Jonathan Goff knocked this out of the park anyone after him just can’t do it justice.

No one will ever be as good as Jonathan, but this is close.

[@RyanPST88]

This is interesting he does the same inflections as Goff, it's like a karaoke. I'm used to each next singer putting their own spin on it but not this time. Not saying good or bad just interesting.

[@jenniferhanses]

I love George's song. Second favorite from the whole play. But was the singer sick? He wasn't looking well in the close ups.

[@FortheBudgies]

I don't know how anyone accepts this role after Jonathan Groff refined a version no one can possibly compete with. I'm not sure taking it camp was the right direction.

[@robertrojas4179]

Is this a different actor than the one in the show

[@RichJarvis]

i’m not trying to stir the pot with the good British people of the world, but y’all don’t think there’s something wrong with how happy y’all got over “kill your friends and family to remind you of my love”??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@fourthgirl]

Hate people who stand during a performance. Hate people who inspire on recording during a performance.

[@lekoman]

I think he was having trouble hearing the orchestra. There’s a couple places where he slows down relative to the accompaniment. Some of it is because he’s insisting on enunciation in places where he doesn’t necessarily need it… but sometimes it seems like it’s just like the orchestra’s rushing him, which can sometimes happen when a singer’s monitors aren’t working well.

[@bunnyboyVR]

He’s ok, not good, not bad.

[@phily8093]

I know Americans couldn't give two hoots about us here in England anymore, and you are becoming increasingly Hispanic, but as much as you annoy us sometimes, we still love you. This is a strange song to bond over given the context, but it reminds me of how similar we are still in many ways.

Thank you both. Many don't love us. Perhaps both our countries are going through very tough and divisive times, and it's quite hard to cling to pride against a tide of those wishing to pick us apart.

[@MisterMan7516]

This one is more believable as a king. Goff was too young.

[@jonathandpg6115]

a king sometimes start pretty young. King george III was 22 when he was king. Groff was was about 30 when he played the role while king george was 37 at the start of the revolution. Daniel was 44. Technically they are both just as distance from the real age. I prefer Groffs humour it made this character so much
