Hamilton Cast Preferences

Cast Issues

And here are all of the issues we ran into while planning this musical.

Angelicafayette:

We had a small issue with the transition from The Story of Tonight to The Schuyler Sisters. If lalaloli2 takes both roles, we need a designated crew member to do a really quick costume change in between the two songs. After the end of The Story of Tonight, lalaloli2 will really quickly hop off stage and switch roles, re-appearing right on time.

And guess what? It happens again between A Winter's Ball and Helpless.

AND GUESS WHAT? Both Angelica and Lafayette have to show up on stage for Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story.

We're getting a double.

Philip:

Well, I never really knew who I wanted to cast as Philip. You see, I can't have someone be my son, because that's pretty awkward.

I just picked Kev-Kev. His voice fits pretty well. Also, I get to say "RESPECT YOUR ELDERS" even more often than I already do.

The soul-crushing fact that this wil never happen:

Reasons (and also a few downsides):

- Expenses (catering, renting a place to rehearse and perform, actually getting LMM to direct us, paying actors, buying costumes and props, finding an orchestra, and many other factors).

- Time (we're a bunch of kids. We don't have time to rehearse, much less find times where all of us are available. Even if we did, it would probably be years before we've finished planning and rehearsed enough).

- Schedules (I'm a horrible planner. I don't usually make backup plans and we'll most likely be way behind schedule).

- Performers (Some of the people on the lists are horrible with acting or singing (no offense), have no interest in performing, and can't make it to rehearsals).

- Hamilton (My crush is playing Hamilton. First, you guys would have to be introduced to my crush (who is indeed listed in the crush list: the real Enigma) and things would get really awkward. Second, we barely know each other. Third, it'll become a weird ship. You see, we really only ship Kev-Kev. He's the main shippee. The shippers (Me and Waffle) are not usually shipped with others).

- Other friends (I have friends that aren't on the lists and I wish they could join the group).

- Swearing and ~stuff~ (We're kids. A lot of adults I know would SAY NO TO THIS. Also, this stuff is awkward in front of people you don't know so well, which could be the case for a lot of the cast and crew members).

- Rehearsals (renting a place to practice would be difficult and expensive. We aren't doing it in the school auditorium because we'd be discovered and videos would be leaked, and wkeys).

Benefits if we could perform this musical:

- Maybe LMM will congratulate us for our efforts (maybe)

- Bonding time!

- Moneeeeeyyyyy *Bodak Yellow plays*

- We could all study and get homework done together (and possibly pick our grades up from the fiery pit that they rest in)

- The ships. OH GOD, THE SHIPS. #Kevly #An-Wevin #JEV-KEV

- We (the Hamilfans) can follow our passion in Hamilton

- We'd be able to celebrate Valentine's Day (at least as friends) and not Single's Awareness Day like me every day (*crying* ItS eVeRyDaY bRo)

- We'd be like a secret society in the school (imagine if it was kept a secret from the rest of the school until we performed it). CREATE THE SECRET HAMILSQUAD HANDSHAKE!

- I'd be able to tell my crush instead of watching from afar like a sad music video as I'll probably do for the next year or so

I really don't think I have any more chapters to add to this book.

I will definitely add more when I get more ideas.
