I LOVE HAMILTON!

1. CBer name: Fidelity

2. Favorite songs (list up to five): (From favorite to less favorite) Wait For It, It's Quiet Uptown, Satisfied, One Last Time

3. Least favorite songs (list up to five): Honestly there aren't any I dislike, I just don't really listen to the less popular ones (I Know Him, Reynold's Pamphlet, etc)

4. Favorite characters (up to five): Controversial, I LOVE AARON BURR. Also Angelica, John Laurens, and Lafeyette. 

6. Least favorite characters (up to five): George Eacker, Thomas Jefferson, and honestly, Hamilton at times because he was so disrespectful to Eliza.

7. Songs that you think are the saddest (list up to five): It's Quiet Uptown always makes me cry. Dear Theodosia is kind of a sweet sad.  

8. Which character would you be in Hamilton?: Realistically, none of them. If I could be one, I would want to be Angelica or Lafeyette. They just seem like fun. 

9. Which characters' voices do you like the best: Aaron Burr. Leslie Odom Jr.'s voice is incredible. 

10. Favorite lines from songs?: For some reason I love the line: "Eliza, do you like it uptown? It's quiet uptown." Because it was the first time Alexander really cared about what Eliza thought.

 

Awesome survey Leafy!

I agree with you about Hamilton being one of your least favorite characters. I like him in the first half, but he makes so may dumb choices in Act 2.

Also I completely agree with you about Dear Theodosia. It's so sewwt, but also sad and I don't know. It's one of my favorite songs.

What song is that first quote from?

Wow you got a lot of good quotes. I didn't remember the last one (from Wait For It, right?) but I like it a lot.

I believe it's from "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story." Eliza's talking about the orphanage she started in Alexander's memory.

OH YEAH that makes more sense. I don't listen to that one as often, but I do remember the thing with the orphanage. Cool!

Almost, the last one is a reprise of Wait for It but it's in The World Was Wide Enough.

Oh yeah. I need to listen to the second half more... I know pretty much all the words to the first half but I don't listen to Act 2 as much so I don't know as much of it.
