This was made for my Timelapse project for school.

This file became so huge that it nearly killed my Paint Tool SAI.

1, 2, 3, 4, and 10 for Hamilton asks!

A/N: @crackerqueen-ineedsleep thank you so much for the ask!!! I really appreciate it!!! Thank you!!

1. Your favorite character.

(I’m 95% sure I’ve answered this but I don’t mind. It’s fun!)

Disclaim: the views expressed are my opinion and not relating to object facts. Thank you.

UGZgH. I love this musical SO much, it’s so hard to pick. I know my favorite character which is... Eliza Schuyler!!! Homegirl has the most time in the musical and every time she sings it’s magic!! And without OG Eliza Schuyler Hamilton, the musical wouldn’t exist due to her due diligence of making sure Hamilton got credit for his work.

(Please don’t make me do a top ten, it’s too hard. (I’m kidding btw, I’m just being dramatic AF))

2. The song that gets stuck in your head.

*snickers*

Non-stop.

I’m sorry but that song plays on repeat in my head more times than I should care to admit. I do go through weird periods of time where I listen to Burn a million times (I recently discovered first Burn and it’s!! Amazing!!).

But yeah just thinking about it....

After the war, I went back to New York—

I’ll stop...this time.

3. The character you’d chill with.

I’m not gonna lie, I would love to chill with Lafayette. Mostly to hear him talk forever. He is a hero of two worlds. Also, I think he would be happy to hear about all the monuments dedicated to Washington. Plus, he’d want to talk about all the stuff that’s happened since he passed away.

If Laf wasn’t available, I got a list of historical figures I would def chill with. I would only chill with Ham if Eliza was present though. Hamilton’s temper is 110% infamous. He gotta away with it cause he was so hot.

4. The real person you would chill with.

Well my family member got to meet Tamar Green so...

I dunno. I think I would want to meet with Ariana DeBose because she is one of the inspiration for the blog name. I had read an interview she did talking about how her role in the ensemble was different than everyone else’s. She had to do a ton of foreshadowing and essential plays a role in both Burt’s and Hamilton demise. She made a remark that everyone else in the ensemble would be like “what are you doing?” Or something like that. I would probably just chill and listen to her talk about the imagery and talk to her about being on broadway and if she plans on playwriting.

10. The part you’d play of you could.

Honestly? I know I can’t act worth anything so I would want to play as the Bullet. I use to be able to dance (not as good) so it would be a real treat to learn those moves in the ensemble. I don’t think this gets said enough but without an ensemble a show would fall apart. Little parts are just as important as big parts. Everyone who works on a musical deserves just as much recognition as the stars.

(I use to think Eliza Schuyler but I could never ever reach the god talent like Alysha Deslorieux, Ta-Tynisia Wilson, Denée Benton, Lauren Boyd, Julia K. Harriman, Rebecca E. Covington, Morgan Anita Wood, Rachelle Ann Go, Sharon Rose, Marsha Songcome, Hannah Cruz, Charnette Batey, Philippa Soo, and more)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK!! I enjoyed answering your questions!!

Guys my inbox is open so send me an ask! I love to hear from you all! :)

[enthusiasticmusicalquotes]

just watched the most incredible IGTV video essay from Charnette Batey, a beautiful Black woman, who shared a 52 minute long story about her experiences with colorism and microaggressions within the theatre community, but most specifically with the first U.S. national tour of Hamilton. watch the whole thing. (at the very least, watch the last five minutes.)

and here is a brief summary of what she talked about if you don't have the time or the capability to watch the video

[hamcast-appreciation]

TW: racism, anti-Blackness, homophobia, transphobia

As a long time fan of Hamilton, I think it is time that we as a fandom hold Hamilton accountable. It is time to educate ourselves about what it is like behind the scenes, listen to the stories of cast members, and hold the production accountable for the toxic environment it perpetuates. There have been a lot of stores coming out recently that speak on this and I implore everyone to read and to watch and to listen.

Dan Belnavis’s op-Ed regarding heterosexism and racism in within management of Hamilton: https://aninjusticemag.com/the-unraveling-of-a-dream-6824c652c013?gi=ef4764c99fd8

Suni Reid’s Instagram live regarding same, across multiple companies: https://instagram.com/tv/CMctEhGFHzi/

Charnette Batey’s Instagram live regarding colorism and anti-Blackness at Hamilton: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CC9EMnhJ53t/?igshid=xgsa4ffcbn7f

This is a lot to get through, but the “highlights” include:

- Black actors being told by white choreographers to be “more urban” and “more Black”

- Black actors being told by white choreographers to be “proud slaves” and then silenced when they protested.

- The HamChi cast, itself predominately Black, being called a “disease” by a Hamilton creative.

- Queer actors being told to preform stereotypical Black masculinity, being belittled for being more feminine presenting.

- White choreographers and music directors having no cultural touchstones for Black and BIPOC music, but attempting to teach them how to rap anyway.

- General homophobia directed at queer actors, especially Black queer actors, by management and castmates.

- Transphobic assault on a non-binary actor by a castmate, and management not addressing it.

- Lack of Black stylists in the hair and makeup department. Lack of Black music directors. Lack of Black choreographers. Lack of Black stage managers. Management that is almost exclusively cis white men.

Educate yourselves. Feel free to continue enjoying Hamilton, but don’t let these experiences be swept under the rug.
