3 POV

The lights went out and the music began to play.

[AARON BURR:]
How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a
Scotsman,

"What?" Voiced all the founding fathers expect for Alex. He was a bit confused as the description fitted him

dropped in the middle of a forgotten
Spot in the Caribbean by providence, impoverished, in squalor
Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

'Who the hell is this about' was going through all of their brains.

[JOHN LAURENS:]
The ten-dollar Founding Father without a father

"Founding father? What the hell, is this about us?"

Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter
By being a self-starter
By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter

Alex let in a gasp of air as realisation hit him.
"They let children run that?" Jefferson asked. He was met with no answer.

[THOMAS JEFFERSON:]
And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted
"Booo. I hate slavery!" I'll let you guess who said that.
Away across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up
Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of
The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter
"Isn't stealing illegal?"
[JAMES MADISON:]
Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned
Alex had already understood that this was about him. But the rest of them was still left to wonder.
Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain
Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain
And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain

[BURR:]
Well, the word got around, they said, "This kid is insane, man"

"Well, thank you very much" Alex mumbled, luckily not loud enough for anyone to hear

Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
"Impressive." Washington said. Alex smiled a bit.
"Get your education, don't forget from whence you came, and
The world's gonna know your name. What's your name, man?"

[ALEXANDER HAMILTON:]
Alexander Hamilton

"What the hell!!" Jefferson whisper yelled. "This is about HIM! Oh my god. Does that mean the rest of us will be here too?"
"I think so Mr Jefferson, but I wonder who Y/N portrays. Lin is obviously playing Alexander. And didn't Y/N mention that she played a male role?"

"I believe she did. Mr Washington." Laurens said.

My name is Alexander Hamilton
And there's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait, just you wait...
Alex smiled. He had used to believe he could do anything.

[ELIZA HAMILTON:]
When he was ten his father split, full of it, debt-ridden
Two years later, see Alex and his mother bed-ridden
Half-dead sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick

"What!" "Calm down Laurens. I'm ok... No, please get of me. It kinda hurts."

[FULL COMPANY EXCEPT HAMILTON (whispering):]
And Alex got better but his mother went quick

"Are you ok son?"
"I'm not your son. But yeah, I'm fine."

[GEORGE WASHINGTON (COMPANY):]
Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide

"There's Y/N!! Are any of you able to identify who she is playing?"
"No, it look like they are all wearing the same white clothes right now."

Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, something new inside
A voice saying: "You gotta fend for yourself." ("Alex, you gotta fend for yourself.")
He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf
" I used to read a lot." Alex said in a effort of explaining.

[BURR (COMPANY):]
There would have been nothin' left to do
For someone less astute
He woulda been dead or destitute
Without a cent of restitution
Started workin', clerkin' for his late mother's landlord
Tradin' sugar cane and rum and all the things he can't afford
Scammin' (scammin') for every book he can get his hands on

"Pretty sure that's illegal Mr. annoying"
"Shit up"

Plannin' (plannin') for the future see him now as he stands on (oooh...)
The bow of a ship headed for a new land
In New York you can be a new man

'True' was the thought going through their minds.

[COMPANY (HAMILTON):]
In New York you can (just you wait) be a new man
In New York you can (just you wait) be a new man
In New York you can be a new man
[WOMEN:] In New York
[MEN:] New York
[HAMILTON:] Just you wait!

[COMPANY:]
Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton)
We are waiting in the wings for you (waiting in the wings for you)
You could never back down
"Hey! I assure you that I could." "No you couldn't son. "I'm not your son!"
You never learned to take your time!
Oh, Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton)
When America sings for you
Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote the game?

"What is that supposed to mean?" Hercules grumbled

The world will never be the same, oh

[BURR:]
The ship is in the harbor now
See if you can spot him ([MEN:] Just you wait)

"Ofc, you will spot him. I mean look at his clothes." I'll let you guess who said that.

Another immigrant
Comin' up from the bottom ([COMPANY:]Just you wait)
His enemies destroyed his rep
America forgot him

"Well, zey clearly didn't as zey have made a play about him." Lafayette commented.

[MULLIGAN/MADISON & LAFAYETTE/JEFFERSON:]
We fought with him

"Yes, we understand, but who are you??"
"Yeah, like Mulligan and Lafayette fought for him and I fought with him. Because let's face it. He's stupid."

[LAURENS/PHILIP:]
Me? I died for him

"I guess that is me." Laurens mumbled while hugging Alex tighter "on that hurts."

[WASHINGTON:]
Me? I trusted him

"WE ALL TRUST YOU!"

[ELIZA & ANGELICA & PEGGY/MARIA:]
Me? I loved him

All of them turned and looked at Alexander who just shrugged and fell back into his seat

[BURR:]
And me? I'm the damn fool that shot him

"Well, we all now who that is. Right! Mr. Burr?"
He let out a nervous laugh. " I'm very sorry Alex...?" He didn't sound so sure.

[COMPANY:]
There's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait!

[BURR:]
What's your name, man?

[COMPANY:]
Alexander Hamilton!
