You'll Be Back - Hamilton - Musicians Reaction

[@ejtappan1802]

Lin-Manuel Miranda intentionally gave each character their own musical style which then goes through a journey from song to song. In this case, the British King George III is supposed to sound like a british-invasion pop-style breakup song.

[@andreacollins3204]

You have to watch it!! Jonathon Groff who plays the king is soooo good! He’s kristoff on frozen and Holden in mindhunter

[@JacobRestituto]

Sick!! Thanks!

And jesse on glee

[@ribby9069]

he's holden! whaaaaaat!? omg that's amazing

[@clnorm6831]

Fun fact about King George III (the character singing) - he went mad during his reign, and it is said that he would frequently babble nonsensical words. Notably “da da da da dat da,” and Lin-Manuel incorporated it into the song because he’s a straight up genius.

[@katieyoung8932]

The lack of words in his chorus alludes to the fact that the actual king george was known for actually going mad when he was in power, note also the lyric ‘when your gone, I’ll go mad’ Also although Jonathan Groff was known for being a spitter, they emphasised on this and didn’t edit it out to add to his character

[@glyndabr]

This song stands out from the other tracks because it sounds like more of a traditional number that you would expect to hear on Broadway. I think this song is a favorite because you have the king of England singing this upbeat twisted love song about murdering people.

[@lindseysquire8417]

I love the specific choices in sound for the characters: Hamilton & his people: Rap/hip-hop (modern, fast-paced) King George: British-invasion, Beatles-esque pop (older, slower) Jefferson: Jazz/rap (He is older than Hamilton and crew, but he's just as quick)

[@NineAnutza]

You have to react this live, Jonathan Geoff is a spitter lol and he spitting during this performance became a meme and the director said he did every night and not just when the cameras were rolling to shot this for the movie lol. also him singing bohemian rhapsody on glee is crazy...

[@ProperlyGaming]

Pretty sure the spitting was purposefully done because it was rumored the Mad king George would get so riled up and angry he would spit whilst screaming and be damn near foaming at the mouth in rage and anger, especially around the time of the revolution and afterward.

[@amandarichard4739]

you really need to see his face and movement when you are listening to this song. it is freaking hilarious

[@JacobRestituto]

lol!

[@angelbunting7518]

Yeeeaaah you can't adequately this song without seeing Jonathan Groff perform it!

[@AdamBrunetti]

I realize I seem to be answering your questions WEEKS after you post these, but the different piano sounds are achieved through a program called "Mainstage", which allows the 2 keyboard players to change the virtual instrument being played, those changes are usually triggered through midi and timecode.

[@CrownedNatty]

You would have a great time listening to Non-Stop, a later song on the soundtrack! Please do more Hamilton!

[@JacobRestituto]

Great thanks!

[@Alicia-gd6hx]

Agreed, Non-Stop has some really interesting instrumentation.

[@paulmarsden7714]

This song is an homage to the Beatles

[@mmcgrego51]

Jonathan Groff is an amazing Broadway actor just wait till you see the film

[@JacobRestituto]

pumped to!

[@Goddess_Isis]

Id pay to see you react to the Hamilton the Movie. After you listen to all these songs you're gonna LOVE the production. Or you could post it for free too, just saying you should react to it!

[@JacobRestituto]

hahaha, thanks

[@janethornton4306]

This is really one that you have to see to really truly appreciate the brilliance that is Jonathon Groff!

[@kel_lee]

BURN is a good song from Hamilton as well!

[@redchick5278]

Burn is my favorite!

[@Nausicaa777-f2v]

I like seeing beautiful faces reacting to masterpieces..

You would probably really appreciate the Under the Stage Tour with Music Director video where you can see where all of the music magic happens during the play. It's really cool. Here's the link - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHnWYYGMq7mrfrs

[@doritobandito_1323]

if i remember correctly they used an electric keyboard in the show

[@maxirvin]

I reckon you should watch the backstage musicians pit tour, its on youtube somewhere

[@elperson31]

Omg you should react to the shuyler sisters and some of the women’s songs they really are my fav but I absolutely love all the Hamilton songs

[@JacobRestituto]

I did the Schyler sisters - more to come!

[@makingchanges64]

VERY Broadway.

[@raphaelmagto]

Please react to "Wait for it" by Leslie Odom Jr.!!

[@thetaniaproject]

Hey, I went down this rabbit hole of hamilton reactions today. Something is up with the audio on this video or combination of the audio with my headphones.. but my ears HURT when I play this. really really weird. it's not loud.. but there is like a high frequency in the backgrowd.. I dunno man. Thought I should tell you. :/

[@cosmicspear1734]

We didn’t start the fire by Billie Joel please? Or if not that one maybe try stayin alive? I loved this video a lot and when you explained it I could hear more of the tunes and beats and styles I didn’t before! That honestly made it a lot more interesting, so thank you!

[@JacobRestituto]

Thanks!!

[@NineAnutza]

Should react to kelly clarkson, pentatonix and sheila e at the bma's performing a cover of higher love, is so good...

[@swaingles]

You certainly comment more than listening. It's plainly clear that you are far from being interested in the song.
