Notes on Hamilton International Tour (Manila, Nov 9, 2023 evening)

Act 1

- This Burr is more proud than jealous during his introductions

- Same Angelica!

- Angelica pushes Burr when he tries to flirt during Schuyler Sisters

- This Washington’s voice is so deep and powerful, even more so than the last one I watched. His voice type makes me think he could be Hades when Hadestown comes here

- The Hamilton seems to be heavily inspired by Lin’s vocal style, and it actually works out well!

- I love Eliza’s voice so much, she’s always so ethereal. How do I marry a voice

- The King’s songs for Act 1 have such an angry feel to them, and yes the “I’m so blue” gag will always be funny.

- I will always repeat this in every notes but the lighting is just so *chefs kiss*

- This Lafayette had so much fun doing Guns and Ships

Act 2

- The actor as Jefferson was so good! Loved the cockiness

- Philip was so adorable as always, his voice was perfect

- Jefferson’s energy at both Cabinet Battles was amazing

- Burr is changing tone, the tone slowly shifts to feeling betrayed

- Washington’s voice definitely dominates the same way Angelica does, They’re such beautiful voices.

- WCN aka King George makes fun of John Adams the whole song

- Jefferson sounded AGHAST at “that was my wife you decided to—- WHAT?!”

- There were gasps when Philip dies

- Its Quiet Uptown never fails to make me cry, especially when the “Forgiveness…can you imagine?” part comes in.

- Burr was HURT and angry at Y.O.S, like he’s just Pissed Off

- At the end of TWWWE, Burr sounded rather regretful of what he did.

Overall, was a great second trip to the Room Where It Happens, and super worth it. I was in the back most possible row, at the edge of the theatre but the view was still great, no obstructions save for not seeing much of one side of the set’s terrace.

Side note: I finally got to stagedoor and I met Rachelle Ann Go, as well as the other cast members!

[senirr]

I cannot begin to say how grateful I am that this book was written by a woman!!

Roshan rejects physical affection due to her trauma, but it wasnt written in a weird way, it did not fell forced. Maria Lewis did a great job portraying that feeling imo

Behind each of Roshan's thoughts was a logical reason that didnt make you go "she would never do that" or "why did she even try to do that?", and I think that made her an even more likeable character than the way they represented her in Mirage.

If you havent read this please do, it explains a lot of Roshan's actions in the game. And if you hated the way she handled Basim like I did, everything will make sense!

The Kissing Booth Turned Upside Down

Wattpad FFN AO3

One day, in King’s High School, Washington’s class were planning to make an attraction for the school festival. Class Rep Aaron Burr was listing out ideas on the blackboard.

“Are there any other suggestions on what we could set up?” Burr asked.

Laurens raised his hand.

“Yes, Laurens” Burr called.

“Why not a kissing booth?“ Laurens suggested.

“Okay?” Burr said as he wrote the suggestion on the blackboard.

‘It’s not like the majority of the class would vote for this. I’ll just humor him’ Burr thought.

“Okay, are there any other suggestions?” Burr asked.

The rest of the class got quiet.

“If no one’s suggesting anything, then are you okay with proceeding to voting” he asked.

The class shrugged their shoulders and give Burr the green light.

“Okay so who agrees with a haunted house?” he asked and a few hands were raised.

“Then who agrees with a maid café?” he followed and more hands than before were raised.

“Finally, who agrees with a kissing booth?” he asked only to his surprise, the majority of the class raised their hands.

“Are you okay with this Mr. Washington?” Burr asked him hoping that he’d be against it and maybe to just have the class do a maid café.

“I’ll allow it” Washington said much to the class’s joy and Burr’s shock.

“Sweet Jesus” Burr said, appalled by Washington’s decision. ‘I’m surrounded by idiots’ Burr thought to himself.

The day of the school festival came and Washington’s class’s kissing booth was set up outside the school building with a $1 for a kiss.

There were shifts on who’s handling the booth and doing the kissing. Burr, Hercules and Lafayette had their shifts already and managed to kiss a few girls and guys. Burr ended up enjoying since he managed to kiss his crush, Theodosia but it wasn’t enough to surpass their sales quota and beat their rival class.

Their rival class from next door has their Class Rep Thomas Jefferson run a mac and cheese stall which was popular among the visitors. Their stall was far from the kissing booth and they only know of its popularity from the big crowd they saw from afar and through word of mouth and social media.

Laurens spent his shift waiting for Alex to come kiss and pay him but ended up kissing some girls and other guys until his shift is almost over. He decided to kiss Alex once his shift ends and his shift starts especially since Alex handles the last shift.

He plans to kiss and pay Alex in the middle of his shift after he kissed a few people to make it look natural and not desperate.

After a few minutes, Laurens’ shift was over and now begins Alex’s shift.

Meanwhile, The Schuyler Sisters, Angelica, Eliza and Peggy from the other class are on their break after handing out flyers to promote their fortune telling booth that their class is doing.

“I can’t believe daddy gave us too much money for our allowance for the school festival, it’s not like we’re gonna spend too much on food and games” Peggy complained.

“Just be thankful, daddy gave you money because he worked on it from his job. I’m planning to save the remainder of my money” Eliza said.

“It’s just that it’s like rubbing it in people’s faces that we’re rich. I don’t want us to be seen as just rich people” Peggy said.

“That I agree with you, Peggy. Let’s all try talking to our dad later about decreasing our allowance but for now, let’s just agree to save our money” Angelica said.

“Fine” Peggy said.

As The Schuyler Sisters neared the Washington’s class booth, Angelica noticed the class’s booth and asked her sisters “Isn’t that Alex working in that booth?”

 “It is. It must be his class’s booth. Let’s go there and meet him” Eliza said.

“Okay” Angelica and Peggy agreed in unison.

The Schuyler Sisters arrived at Washington’s class’s booth.

“Hey, Alex” The sisters greeted him in unison.

“Oh, hey guys” Alex said.

“Kissing booth?” Eliza questioned Alex as she read the sign.

“It was Laurens’ idea” Alex replied.

“And how did that work out?” Eliza asked.

“Decently” Alex said sadly.

Angelica looked at the staff consisting of just Alex, Burr, Laurens, Lafayette and Hercules before saying “This is what your class has to offer aside from you, Alex? It’s like they were saving the best for last.”

“Hey, we’re reliable with the ladies” Burr retorted.

“That’s true” Hercules said.

“Oui” Lafayette agreed.

“Yeah, ladies and some fellas” Laurens awkwardly said.

“Well, I can help from one friend to another” Eliza said as she brought out a dollar while she looked away blushing.

“Thanks” Alex said sheepishly as his face turned red while he received the dollar.

Eliza then closed her eyes and leaned a bit as Alex gently pulled her into a soft and quick kiss.

“Wow” Eliza opened her eyes in amazement after managing to have her 1st kiss with her crush.

“Is there a rule to have another one?” Eliza asked as she pulled out a dollar.

“Not at all. You don’t have to do this for us” Alex said worryingly.

 “No, I’m doing this because I want to, Alex” Eliza said before she and Alex shared another kiss. The kiss this time was a few seconds longer but still gentle.

Seeing her sister and Alex kiss again especially a slightly longer one lit the fires of jealousy from Angelica.

‘You’re not the only Schuyler Sister who has a crush on him. You kiss him once that’s fine, I’m going to give you an advantage but kissing him again? Oh, you’re on!’ Angelica thought.

Once Eliza and Alex’s lips parted, Angelica approached Alex and handed him a dollar.

“If my baby sister is enjoying this that she wanted another one, why not give it a try?” Angelica said as she briefly glanced at Eliza who was glaring at her.

“Oh, okay” Alex sheepishly said as he received the dollar.

Alex and Angelica slowly learned towards each other and closed the gap as their lips touched in a gentle kiss. It was 3 seconds longer than Eliza’s 2nd kiss with Alex. As Angelica parted her lips from Alex, she proceeded to smirk at Eliza.

Eliza gasped at the gesture Angelica gave her and she thought ‘Oh, is that how you wanna play, Angelica?’

“Um, excuse me?” A voice called out.

Alex, the staff and the sister trio turned to the speaker and saw a girl dressed in a red t-shirt and a buttoned denim short skirt.

“Maria?” Alex addressed her.

She was Maria Lewis. She’s the local klutz of King’s High School and developed a crush on Alex after he helped her up when no one would help her after she tripped and fell while running to her next class.

“Can I get a kiss from you?” Maria shyly asked Alex.

“Sure” Alex said as he nervously gulped. ‘But my God, she looks so helpless and her body's saying, "Hell, yes." I can’t say no to this.’ Alex thought.

“I’ll pay after, okay?” Maria said.

“Okay” Alex said.

“We should give her this” Angelica told Eliza.

“Yeah, she looks more helpless than me” Eliza agreed.

Maria took a deep breath and surprisingly initiated the kiss as she pulled Alex closer to her and put her mouth on his. The kiss was passionate and intense but the moment Maria unconsciously slipped her tongue in the heat of the moment, Alex recoiled in surprise, breaking off the kiss.

“I-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do that. It was in the heat of the moment.” Maria nervously apologized as she backed away a bit.

“It’s okay. It happens, it happens” Alex reassured her.

“Here” Maria pulled out a dollar and walked forward to give it to Alex only for her to trip on her heels and fall which lead to her hand containing the dollar to accidentally slip inside Alex’s pants. Angelica and Eliza’s jaws dropped in shock.

“I’m so sorry. I’m such a klutz” Maria apologized again before noticing that she let go of the dollar inside his pants.

“Oh no, the dollar” Maria said.

“Don’t worry, I got it” Alex said.

Before he could put his hand in his pants, Laurens took this opportunity and stopped.

“No, let me get that for you” Laurens said as he placed his hands in Alex’s pants and grabbed the dollar before pulling out his wallet and pulling out 2 $1 bills.

“Here a clean dollar for Maria’s and my payment” Laurens said as he pushed the 2 $1 bills in Alex’s chest before giving him a quick kiss on the lips.

“Okay?” Alex said, confused as he took the 2 $1 bills that Laurens pushed in his chest while Laurens put the dollar that was in Alex’s pants in his wallet.

“Anyways, I’m sorry” Maria said.

“It’s just an accident, don’t worry about” Alex reassured her again.

“Thanks, bye Alex” Maria said as she waved at him as she left the booth.

“Bye” Alex and the others waved back at her.

“Okay, so where were we?” Eliza said glancing at Angelica.

“I was about to have my 2nd kiss with Alex” Angelica said smugly.

“Man, all this hype about kissing Alex. Hey, Alex, can I kiss you? Peggy said casually as she handed him a dollar.

The 2 other sisters gasped at what they were seeing.

“Sure” Alex casually said as he accepted her dollar. The 2 shared a quick peck on the lips.

“Not bad. Here’s another dollar out of my respect for you, you don’t have to kiss me” Peggy said.

“Sorry, Peggy, you have to kiss me if you’re gonna pay me” Alex said.

“Fine” Peggy said before she casually pulled Alex into a quick kiss before handing him the dollar

“Pleasure doing business with you” Alex said.

“Likewise” Peggy said before leaning close to Alex and whispered “Whoever you choose between Eliza or Angelica, don’t make her cry or I’ll kick your ass.”

“Noted” Alex said.

Peggy returned to her sisters and told them “He’s all yours.”

Angelica and Eliza were about to approach Alex again until a line full of women and men formed, blocking their way towards Alex.

“Where did all these people come from?” Alex wondered aloud.

“I recorded and posted the whole scenario online” Burr said.

“I’m surprised you did that even though I can tell from your face back then that you didn’t like this idea” Alex said.

“I warmed up to it” Burr said.

“After you kissed Theodosia?” Alex asked as he raised his eyebrow.

“Shut up!” Burr blushed “The chance for more customers was up for grabs so I took it”

“Huh” Alex said in acceptance.

“Now get back to work, customers are waiting” Burr said.

“Yeah, our break’s almost over. Let’s go back and hand out some flyers for our class’s fortune telling booth” Angelica said as she looked at her watch.

“Yes, let’s” Eliza and Peggy agreed in unison.

While walking back, Peggy asked “Can we please get some food? We haven’t eaten a single thing since break and I’m starving.”

“Yeah, you’re right. Let’s find a good food stall on our way back” Angelica suggested.

“Expensive or cheap, I don’t care as long as it’s food and it tastes good” Peggy said.

Later that day, Washington’s class’s kissing booth exceeded their quota and beat their rival class’s mac and cheese stall by a small margin.

While their stall is still busy, they still lost. Jefferson looked at Washington’s class’s kissing booth through his binoculars while eating the mac and cheese he bought from his class’s own stall and said “Oh, please, if we ran a kissing, I’d be getting lots of people lining up for my shift.”

“Not with that personality of yours” Madison said.

“What?”

“What?”

The number of visitors slowly dwindled and the sun was starting to set, Alex’s shift was almost over.

The Schuyler Sisters returned just in time before Alex’s shift was over with Angelica and Eliza each of them both handing him a dollar.

“Can we please have one more kiss?” Angelica and Eliza said in unison before glaring at each other.

“I’m surprised you want more and you’re supposed to be the older sister. Isn’t there a saying that goes “Once is enough?”” Eliza said.

“I will never be satisfied with just one kiss and you already had 2. Didn’t the saying go “Once is enough, twice is too much and thrice is a poison that can kill a person?” Angelica argued back.

“What? Don’t blame me, I’m helpless” Eliza said.

“I'm just sayin', if you really loved me, you would share him” Angelica said.

“Ha!” Eliza said as she laughed off her older sister’s prospect of sharing Alex.

“Ugh, women” Peggy face-palmed exasperatedly as she had to listen to her 2 older sisters fighting over the same guy.

“Ladies, if I kiss you both, will you two stop fighting?” Alex asked as he took the dollars from them.

“Fine” Angelica and Eliza begrudgingly agreed in unison.

“Older sisters with less kisses go first” Angelica said before sharing a short but passionate kiss with Alex.

Once their lips parted, Alex turned to Eliza and they also shared a sweet and passionate kiss.

“Thank you for your patronage, ladies” Alex said as he waved goodbye to them.

“Bye, Alex” Angelica and Eliza said in unison as they waved back at Alex.

“Hey, Peggy” Alex casually waved at her.

“Hey, Alex” Peggy casually waved back at him as she walked away with her sisters.

As the rest of Washington’s class came to help Alex, Burr, Hercules, Laurens and Lafayette as they disassembled the booth, Lauren screamed.

“SHIT!”

The class looked at him in surprise before Laurens said “We should’ve sold pictures and charged them for extra.”

“Oh shit. Yeah, we should’ve” Alex agreed.

“We still won anyways” Burr said.

“Yeah, you’re right about that” Alex said.

After a few seconds of awkward silence has passed, Lafayette broke the tension, saying “So, who’s up for an afterparty at my place? Food and drinks are on me!”

“YEAH!” the class shouted in excitement of Lafayette’s afterparty idea.

“I should call Eliza and ask if she and others will join our afterparty” Alex said.

“You planning to have three-way with Angelica and Eliza?” Hercules teased.

“No, I’m inviting them as friends” Alex said.

“Yo, if you can marry a sister, you're rich, son” Burr said.

“Is it a question of if, Burr, or which one?” Alex said confidently.

“But seriously, you know one of these days, you have to choose between the 2, right?” Burr said.

“I know” Alex said exasperatedly.

Notes on Hamilton International Tour (Manila, Oct 28, 2023 matinee)

No list of who specifically in the cast was on for the day, the programme only had the full cast list.

Act 1 notes

-Deep voices, deep voices everywhere

-They kept the “Laurens I like you a lot” line for international!

-I love the lighting! Some of the lights even create polygons

-Laurens was so drunk by the start of the toast

-Angelica had such a pretty voice

-Everyone enjoyed the King. YBB was delivered in such an angry incel kind of way

-“I’m so blue” *the King stomps and the lighting turns blue*

-The transitions during the wedding and toast are so beautiful and smooth, it almost felt magical

-DOUBLE SPINNING FLOOR

-Burr’s “How does a—-“ narrations really reek of his jealousy

-Desr Theodosia was so so good, mmm the vocals

-Some USA-specific references weren’t that understood by the audience, understandably

-Washington’s voice is so perfect for the role, I love him.

-The war scenes were so well choreographed I loved them!

-I can sometimes hear undertones of the actors trying to approximate the OBC’s voices, especially with some of Alexander’s lines

Act 2 notes

-Jefferson had no drawl (he had some tiny French accent as Laf tho)

-Sally didn’t show the letter near Jefferson, instead she held it above her head like she wanted Jefferson to work for it to read

-“Whatever the hell it is you do at MON-TI-TELLO!”

-“These ~VIRGINIAUUUGHNS~ are birds of a feather!”

-Philip was as fun as usual, and also he’s taller than his dad

-“Angelica tell my wife Vice President’s not a real job anyway” earned a lot of laughs because we currently have a shitty VP (Look up “Sara Duterte Confidential Funds”)

-Say No To This, oh boy (They kept all the scenes for international!)

-Congress is fighting over where to put the capital: “GEORGIA!”

-Daddy’s calling got a lot of laughs

-The King was as insane as ever, shifting from sad to angry to jolly. What Comes Next was fun

-That was my wife you decided to fuuu- got laughs

-The Philip death arc still brought me to tears even if I already listened to it a million times before

-Someone said out loud “Aaron Burr is a loser!” after election of 1800

-“Weehawken” became “Jersey”

-I love the choreography during Ham’s duel monologue, it was so creatively done

-WLWDWTYS was Emotional for sure

Thoughts

The overall pacing was really like as if you were listening on a music app, save for some instrumental interludes and some lines of dialogue. Some of the songs had parts that were slowed down for some actors’ own spins, such as the Laf/Jeff actor going a bit slower in some of the lines.

Admittedly the Angelica actress overshadowed Eliza a bit but tbh it kinda fits, with her being the “leader” amongst the three.

Overall it was a magical experience, and the seven-year wait really paid off. I have been a big fan of Hamilton since I was in high school, and now I’m on my last year of university. It really felt so rewarding to be able to watch this.

This cast was composed of actors from varying places, mostly Australian and American. I really recommend checking out this international tour as they were really a blast to watch, and definitely live up to—even exceed—expectations. Their next stop after November is Singapore iirc.

A commission I did in 2018 for author and all around excellent person Maria Lewis for her very good book, "The Witch Who Courted Death."

I don't think I ever posted this one anywhere online at the time, but I do remember the files causing mild troubles for Maria because the original files were in CMYK for printing, and it Does Not Look Good when you try to post it to the web in that format.
