Me: Hello hello hello! Welcome to this episode of Musical Characters React! How is everyone doing?

Veronica: Eh...I'm pretty busy with school. But when I'm not doing school stuff, I binge watch Netflix.

J.D.: Yep, I can attest to that.

Eliza: We're doing good! Philip and Angie have been good with taking care of our kids, which is a big help.

Usnavi: The bodega is pretty busy, so yeah, I'm busy, too

Anne Boleyn: I'm really itching to be able to perform live soon. We opened and then closed again!

Nina: I'm sorry to hear about that, that must be frustrating.

Angelica: Let's hope that this virus situation will calm down soon.

Me: Yeah, I really hope to be able to see live theater again.

(Everyone agrees)

Burr: So what are we reacting to today?

Me: Today's request was from Marvelgirl4life.

 Me: Let's watch it!


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
I practice French
And play piano with my mother
I have a sister, but I want a little brother
My daddy's trying to start America's bank
Un deux trois quatre cinq!

Heather C.: Originality much?

Hamilton: Hey!

Peggy: Shut up, Heather!

(Heather C. gasps)

My name is Angie, you wouldn't know it
Unless you listened to my brother, he's a poet
Even though he's older at the time, I can play piano better plus I can rhyme!
Of course, I have a nervous breakdown when he dies!
I play piano and everybody cries!
A sister sibling seems pretty great
When you find out our parents had eight!

J.D.: She has eight children? Wow!

Eliza: Yep. And I love each and every one of them!

Katherine Howard: Angie's story is so sad, though!

I'm Alex Junior, I'm on a journey
I grow up to be a famous attorney
But revenge is a sweet final course
I repped Aaron Burr's second wife when they divorced!

Everyone except Burr: OHHHHHHH!!!

Nina: Funny thing, his second wife was named Eliza.

The name's James Alexander, I'm a lawyer too!
I got five kids like Tevye, with a boy or two!
No time for relaxin'
'Cuz I'm secretary of state for Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson!

Sonny: Yo, the kids' rhymes are TIGHT!

Peggy: I know, right?

Vanessa: Andrew Jackson wasn't a good person, though.

Yo I'm John Church, I win the pennant!Fought the war of eighteen twelve, second lieutenant!
And I'm the one who brought us glory!
I kept my mother's promise and I wrote Dad's story!

Hamilton: That's my (fourth) son!

(Eliza smiles)

Hey, the name's William Stephen and I COLD CRUSH!
I moved to California for the gold rush!I'm a screamer, I'm a shouter, I'm a hollerer!
I died in Sacramento, most likely of CHOLERA!

Jefferson: A screamer, a shouter, a hollerer? Like father, like son!

Hamilton: Hey!

My name's Eliza Holly, please follow!
You can see my tombstone in Sleepy Hollow!
I lived with my mom while she was dying in DC.
I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING!

Anna of Cleves: That IS sad.

The sun has gone to bed and so must I!
My name is Philip I'm the second try
I am the youngest child in our line
Don't worry I will live a nice long time
Goodbyyyyyyyyyye! Goodbyyyyyyyyeee! Goodbyyyyyyyyeee!

King George: YAAAY! Sound of Music reference!

Catherine of Aragon: That was clever.

(The video ends)

Me: So what did everyone think?

Heather M.: It was great to hear more about Hamilton's other kids and their stories!

Vanessa: I agree! And it was a bop!

King George: I ESPECIALLY loved the Sound of Music reference at the end! I don't care that I said that already, it's just TOO GOOD!

Catherine of Aragon: Lin never ceases to amaze! That's what I have to say!

Me: I'm glad you liked it! Okay, that's all the time we have for now! Feel free to vote, comment, and request! Until next time!

Everyone: Bye!
