One detail LMM wanted to fit in but had to cut was that Theodosia died, leaving Burr and their children motherless. Sad stories all around. Fun fact: Burr married again later. He then a lost a lot of money, and she left him after 4 months of marriage. Who was her lawyer during the divorce? Alexander Hamilton Jr!

And I'm the one who paid for it. I survived but I paid for it. 💔

Really, we have Eliza and Angelica to thank for what we know of this time. Obviously, that comes with a bias.

Eliza is perfection. What she says just makes me sob.

For both Hamilton and his son to die in almost the same spot.

So many ties between everyone in New York at that time.

The line about Angelica being buried in Trinity church yard near Alexander pulls at my heart. I have passed that church a thousand times. I have seen that cemetery.

George Washington saying she told my story is so perfect. And the shame on his face when he hears her say "I speak out against slavery" knowing he didn't.

The toddler apparently refuses to actually fall asleep. She came back out to the living room and watched the last few songs with me.
Every time Eliza came on stage, she would say “that’s Mommy!”. Except I look nothing like Eliza, lol.

I am so sad I didn't get to see this like I was supposed to a few weeks ago. This is nice and all, but dammit! I hate waiting.

Ugh. That ending kills me every time. That gasp and last wail. Ugh.
I love the idea that Hamilton is also Eliza’s story.

The untold story of women in history is a great shame. Eliza lived a life of huge accomplishments, but she is remembered by who she was married to.
