Amazing Details in Hamilton that You Probably Missed

Groff’s Tightrope Walk on the song “You’ll Be Back!”
There’s no doubt that Jonathan Groff’s performance on King George’s break up song “You’ll be back” is an incredible comic moment that lots of fans will remember fondly.
However, what you probably didn’t know the origin of was his very particular walk when he first arrives on stage! This can be attributed to the heavy crown and heels he had to wear during his performance.
You’ll Be Back’s Contrast With The Rest of the Musical!
The cheery musical style in the song was a clever nod to the Beatles and the British invasion that happened in the 60s. The widely different tone can also be interpreted as King George intruding on the events of the musical!
The Brilliance of Hamilton’s Editing
Compared to seeing the show on Broadway, seeing the Hamilton film on Disney + delivers a whole different tone and experience for the viewer!
With each selective shot, close-up, and camera pan, the directors can control what they want the viewers to see and focus on!
Charming Continuity Errors
If you didn’t know, the Hamilton film was edited from footage from two live performances. This is how they got camera shots of the juicy close-ups that you see in the musical!
An example of this is the flowers that you can see on Angelica’s dress on “Satisfied.” There are moments where they pop in and out of existence—these tiny errors show the human aspect of the production of this movie!

Having an average of 144 words per minute and the fastest songs clocking in at 200 words per minute!
