It features the first Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, and is based on a biography by Ron Chernow. Hamilton is an award-winning musical on Broadway, written by Lin-Manuel Miranda. (Take a break.'Hamilton literally wrote a verse to get him off an island - that’s the most hip-hop shit ever.' - Lin-Manuel Miranda you're not joining us? Wait I'm afraid I cannot join you upstate Alexander, I came all this way She came all this way- All this way- Take a break You know I have to get my plan through Congress Run away with us for the summer Let's go upstate I lose my job if I don't get my plan through Congress We can all go stay with our father There's a lake I know I know I'll miss your face- In a nearby park Screw your courage to the sticking place- You and I can go Eliza's right- () Take a break and get away- (Take a break) Run away with us for the summer- () Let's go upstate (Let's go upstate) Where we can stay We can all go stay with our father If you take your time- () Look around, look around At how lucky we are to be alive (You will make your mark) right now- Close your eyes and dream- () We can go- When the night gets dark (When the night gets dark) Take a break. Angelica's arriving today! Angelica! Eliza! The Schuyler sisters! Alexander Hi It's good to see your face Angelica, tell this man John Adams spends the summer with his family Angelica, tell my wife John Adams doesn't have a real job anyway. Did you intend this? One stroke and you've consumed my waking days It says: 'My dearest Angelica' With a comma after 'dearest.' You've written 'My dearest, Angelica.' Anyway, all this to say I'm coming home this summer At my sister's invitation I'll be there with your fam'ly If you make your way upstate I know you're very busy I know your work's important But I'm crossing the ocean and I just can't wait You won't be an ocean away You will only be a moment away.

I will try to get away My dearest Alexander You must get through to Jefferson Sit down with him and compromise Don't stop 'til you agree Your fav'rite older sister Angelica, reminds you There's someone in your corner all the way across the sea In a letter I received from you two weeks ago I noticed a comma in the middle of a phrase It changed the meaning.

I know In a nearby park I'd love to go You and I can go when the night gets dark. We can all go stay with my father There's a lake I know.

Take a break I am on my way There's a little surprise before supper And it cannot wait I'll be there in just a minute, save my plate Alexander- Okay, okay- Your son is nine years old today Has something he'd like to say He's been practicing all day Philip, take it away- Daddy, daddy, look- My name is Philip I am a poet I wrote this poem just To show it And I just turned nine You can write rhymes But you can't write mine What! I practice French And play piano with my mother Uh-huh! I have a sister, but I want a little brother Okay! My daddy's trying to start America's bank Un deux trois quatre cinq! Bravo! Take a break Hey, our kid is pretty great Run away with us for the summer Let's go upstate Eliza, I've got so much on my plate Un deux trois quatre Cinq six sept huit neuf Un deux trois quatre Cinq six sept huit neuf Good! Un deux trois quatre Cinq six sept huit neuf Sept huit neuf- Sept huit neuf- Sept huit neuf- Sept huit neuf- One two three four five six seven eight nine! My dearest, Angelica 'Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day' I trust you'll understand the reference to Another Scottish tragedy without my having to name the play They think me Macbeth, and ambition is my folly I'm a polymath, a pain in the a**, a massive pain Madison is Banquo, Jefferson's Macduff And Birnam Wood is Congress on its way to Dunsinane And there you are, an ocean away Do you have to live an ocean away? Thoughts of you subside Then I get another letter I cannot put the notion away.
