HAMILTON SONGS FOR THE DREGS GO
Kaz: “Only (Seventeen) but my mind is older, these (Ketterdam) streets get colder,”
– My ShotInej: “In the eye of a hurricane, there is quiet, for just a moment, a yellow sky…”
– HurricaneNina: “So men say that I’m intense, or I’m insane.”
– The Schuyler SistersMatthias: “That’s when I began to pray: Lord, show me how to say no to this, I don’t know how to say no to this. But my God, she looks so helpless… and her body’s saying hell yes…”
– Say No To This (((consider also: all of Wait For It)))Jesper: “When you got skin in the game, you stay in the game. But you don’t get a win unless you play in the game. You get love for it, you get hate for it…”
– The Room Where It HappensWylan: “When you smile, you knock me out, I fall apart. And I thought I was so smart… My father wasn’t around, I swear that I’ll be around for you.”
– Dear TheodosiaNINA AS ANGELICA AND JESPER AS BURR YEAHHH
Now I’m imaging Kaz, Jesper, and Matthias standing around Karl Dryden, who’s proclaiming an announcement of the Council of Merchants in a shrill voice (”Don’t let the Dregs lead you astray!”).
And Kaz, being the embodiment of -1000 chill, steps on the box Dryden’s standing on and pushes him off, to Dryden’s indignation. Then he starts addressing the crowd gathered around them like he did in the Slat in Crooked Kingdom about how the Council wearing gilded robes “doesn’t change their roles as thieves like the rest of us” and just fucking shreds Dryden’s flimsy arguments to pieces.
PLEASE
(also consider: Wylan as Philip, being really fucking adorable)ALSO
Imogen as Maria Reynolds.
(but we all know Kaz would NEVER because Inej never misses a beat)
!!!!
Inej is 100% Laurens – aggressively against slavery, plus there’s the whole Hamilton/Laurens thing which transfers very well to Kanej (“Laurens, I like you a lot”)Kate, you are a GENIUS
My son Kuwei would probably be Lafayette – seemingly mild mannered and in the background, and then just coming into battle SLAYING the enemies with his Grisha powers. (can you imagine Kuwei rapping Guns and Ships holy shit)
Kuwei rapping Guns and Ships is all I need in life from this point forward
What do you think about the characters in the second act – Jefferson, Madison, etc.?
Hmm.
I’d say Pekka as Jefferson, because he was Hamilton’s biggest rival in the White House.
Van Eck as Madison, because while he’s still considered a threat, Hamilton and Madison did work together temporarily for the Federalist Papers (parallel to Kaz and Van Eck agreeing to work with each other for the kidnapping of Yul-Bo from the Ice Court)
I can’t believe I missed this.
