I wanna take him far away from this place
But really, aside from the whole penniless thing everything appears to be going swimmingly, what could possibly go wrong? He’s penniless he’s flying by the seat of his pantsĭespite all of those parts that are aflame, Angelica is still paying close attention and sizing Hamilton up. His hands started fidgeting he looked askance I asked about his family did you see his answer He’s a bit of a flirt but I’mma give it a chance The conversation lasted two minutes maybe three minutesĪ bit of a posture and it’s a bit of a stance But, ever the pragmatist, Angelica has already decided this instant connection must be too good to be true.

It’s the feeling the freedom of seeing the light So this is what it feels like to match wits That Hamilton has game, which I guess he’d have to for not one but two women to fall instantly in love with him.

It looks like Eliza wasn’t the only Schuyler to fall in love at first sight with Hamilton.Īnd when you said ‘hi’ I forgot my dang name Trippin’ over themselves to win our praiseīut Alexander I’ll never forget the first time I saw your face Regret that night for the rest of my days At this point, the action freezes, and, in a truly inspired piece of staging that literally made my jaw drop, the scene rewinds around Angelica before your eyes, taking us back to the beginning of “Helpless”-except now we’re seeing that fateful first meeting of the Schuyler sisters and Hamilton from Angelica’s point of view.
