Everyone was great, but George Washington fucking slayed it. His back-and-forths with Hamilton were probably my favorite parts of the whole show.

November 29, 2018A Hamilton film adaptation.
I don't think Hamilton would work as a movie. Purely because of how the story is told. It's a Broadway musical for a reason. And it's told without a single line of actual dialogue (aside from the ending of Meet Me Inside.) I don't think it's something that would translate well into a movie format. But that's just me. If the right director is chosen, maybe it could be great. But I don't want it to become like Dear Evan Hansen. More on reddit.com

Hamilton
Kids say that this cinematic recording of a popular Broadway musical offers a revolutionary blend of hip-hop and history, presenting an engaging narrative about Alexander Hamilton's life while also providing significant educational value. This filmed performance will delight the hordes of die-hard fans of the theater production's now iconic musical score, story, and original cast. It may also give viewers who couldn't get -- or couldn't afford -- a coveted ticket to "Hamilton" during its extraordinarily successful run on and off Broadway since 2015 the sense that they're catching up on somethi

r/hamiltonmusical on Reddit: Hamilton Reference to the 1931 film about Alexander Hamilton?
August 5, 2023 -
I recently found out about a 1931 film titled "Alexander Hamilton" about his political career and noticed something that LMM may have drawn from in writing "We Know."
In the 1931 film, when Hamilton is confronted about the payments to James Reynolds, the accuser says "unless", which is immediately followed by an "unless" from Hamilton. This has a striking similarity to the conversation in "We Know" where, when Jefferson, Madison, and Burr confront Hamilton about the payments to James Reynolds and Hamilton says "unless", followed by an immediate "unless" from Jefferson, Madison, and Burr.
For reference, here is the part from the 1931 film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYNDE_qdiIY&t=179s
And here is the part from "We Know" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBj2GL_12R4&t=51s
What do you think? Any chance that this is a reference to the film?

LMM has many nods to movies/musicals/books he loves sprinkled throughout the show. The line "Sit down John you fat mother fucker" is pulled from the musical 1776, where the whole Congress is singing "Sit down John! John sit down!". He also has a nod to the movie Elf, there's a scene where Peter Dinklage, the dwarf, loses his shit and yells "Call me Elf one more time!". Hamilton of course yells at George Washington "Call me son one more time!" before resigning his commission and going home.

Jefferson invites a key congressman and fellow Virginian, James Madison. The result is one of the most famous meals in American history -- the Dinner Table Compromise. Hamilton seizes on the capital as a bargaining chip. If the Virginians will support federal assumption of the debt, he will agree to moving the capital south.
