6 Reasons The Reynolds Pamphlet Is The Best Scene In Hamilton 

the choreographer just said “have fun, mock Hamilton, go wild.” And the Groff said “wait this sounds fun can I join” and the choreographer turned around to see his ensemble doing THAT and said, “sure”

Basically Lins instructions for this scene was “go ape sh*t crazy while I stand there being harassed” 😂

Hamilton: *has an affair* Background dancers: *twerking and the worm intensifies*

everyone: partying Hamilton: 🧍‍♀️

My favorite part of this is King George He doesn't live in America He literally has no idea who Hamilton is, but he heard he was suffering and came to dance on his misery

And Hamilton has to stand there looking depressed while everyone is twerking and throwing it back all over the stage.

this has the same energy as those ads for medicines where the people in the back are partying and living their best lives and the voiceover is like “may cause death, strokes, severe bleeding, complete organ failure. . .”

6 reasons why the Reynalds pamphlet is the best scene in Hamilton 1) Daveed Diggs 2) Johnathan Groff

Animatics: Sad, Depressing, Anxiety in the air The actual Musical:

Hamilton: sad His family: angery Others: *vIBIN*

Hamilton:lost wife due to affair the entire ensemble: *grinds on everything*

The expressions at 0:23 "his poor wife" are amazing. Madison looks genuinely sympathetic, Burr is like "oof" and Jefferson is like "yikes."

The reynolds pamphlet is so good, and the dancing of everyone mocking hamilton and picking up the papers are absolutely chaotic

I wonder how many times Lin broke and laughed at all the ensemble’s shenanigans

I just noticed- Lin standing there all quiet and cautious while around everything is pure chaos reminds me of a hurricane- Alex in the eye of the hurricane, the center of the chaos and everything around just being chaotic. I don’t know if it was the real intention of Lin to put it like this but if it was then damn he did a great job

Transition from The Reynolds Pamphlet to Burn: when you're having a wild party while your Mom is out and everyone has to clear out before she comes home.

It’s almost like the choreographer was like “Idk just do whatever the hell you want it’ll look good I promise”

Hamilton: *realizing he's dug his own grave* Everyone else: *vibing*

My favorite thing is that Groff has no reason to be there. It's like he's a little fairy that gets summoned whenever someone is in trouble

Absolutely love these: 1) everyone’s fun energy (especially David Diggs) 2) How David Diggs fricken jumps (sitting) on the table 1:16 3) King George being like “Hi, I have no clue who the heck you people are but I know that I am superior and that this man over there is Miserable so I’ma just show up somehow from Britain and join in-“ 1:44 4) The conductor reaching his hand out for a Pamphlet and David just walking over to give them one. 1:40 5) David Diggs just doin that- 1:29

Maria is chilling in the back like: “I can’t help but feel like I did something”

Reason 7: everyone makes sure all paper is picked up before Eliza takes the stage for Burn. Reason 8: Lin-Manuel resists the urge to join in the dancing fun.

Jefferson hopping into frame at 0:09 is single handedly the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life

*When back up dancers are doing the WAP better than tiktokers, you know it's gonna be good*

Hamilton: My life is falling apart! Literally everyone else on stage: 💃🏼🕺💃🏼🕺💃🏼🕺💃🏼🕺💃🏼🕺💃🏼🕺💃🏼🕺

Nobody: Jefferson: *Bopin* and *Vibin* while throwing papers _nevergonbepresidentnow_

Fun fact: I once met a cast member (ensemble) from one of the Hamilton casts. Apparently, they were told to improv during this scene (im gonna assume during thr parts where everyone is doing a bunch of different things) which is probably why everyone looks like they’re having fun.

I think someone said "I want this to be a total mess... But I want it to be perfect"

The fact that Washington didn’t say a word and still manage to drag Alexander is just 10/10

The ensemble is the embodiment of the Oompa Loompas after a kid dies and I love it.

hamilton standing there guilty- jefferson dancing- everyone else wiggling on the floor

2:15 is literally my favorite part, the way she was moving her shoulders just makes want to get up and dance too😂

Reasons why Hamilton is the best 1) Daveed Diggs that's it that's the list.

I’m convinced the choreographer just said: “y’all idc what you do just have fun and make it as chaotic as possible. Throw papers, hump the floor, whatever. Just make sure to mock Hamilton as much as possible. Got it?”

Paper: exists Daveed Diggs: *Must touch* Jonathan Groff: *Must fan*

I like how Diggs is just a single reason. He's probably my favorite out of the cast

A few little details I love: - that Maria is actually the one who hands him the pen to start writing - Hamilton reciting the pamphlet from on top of the table - the way Phillip enters and exits and the look he gives his dad - that look that Maria and Hamilton share - Washingtons look of disappointment - Thayne during the birds eye view - the fact that they give Alex a pamphlet - the way the ensemble just starts spazzing

ok, but like Groff the whole time is like: *‘ooooooo, the tea is HOT sis’*

At 2:58, I have no idea what Burr is doing, and I'm glad. Also, Sydney James-Harcout and The Bullet/Ariana Debose looked like they were having so much fun!

Reason 7: every time they say “Damn”, their delivery/reactions are priceless

Fun Fact: the Reynolds Pamphlet is the only time the actors are actually able to improv, the rest is choreographed. (I went to an EduHam and it was one of the questions that the cast answered)

George Washington just like "I'm not mad, just disappointed"

I don't think I've ever been as excited for anything in my life as the ensemble does for this song. Every single one of them looks like they're living their best lives for all of the Reynolds Pamphlet and honestly they deserve it

I honestly love how everyone is literally struggling to get all the papers before Eliza enters for Burn. Then there is Daveed, Leslie, and Oak just standing there distracting so no one notices...wow...good job everyone!

I think the choreographer just said to the ensemble before this “ ok guys, there is some choreography, it’s silly, it’s fun, but for the most part, just do what you want. It’s a big party mocking Alexander so do as you please.”

I can’t be the only one worried about them slipping on a piece of paper on the floor

This entire scene was pure chaos, i love it so much Edit: I LOVE THE WAY KING GEORGE JUST SHUFFLED IN LIKE "Hey bitch im here to laugh at you"

Best thing is, in real life, Washington wasn't as disgusted as Lin made him be in the play. Washington actually sent Hamilton a letter expressing solidarity, along with a bottle of wine.

i’m 80% sure that the choreographer didn’t tell them shit on The Reynolds Pamphlet, so everyone just went panic dance

I love how the ensemble is mocking what hamilton did with maria 😃

Literally the whole cast: “intimidating hamilton and his affair”

Is no one talking about how the first reason is literally “he got dragged to hell” Like, you’re not wrong but you didn’t have to say it😳

"Everyone is having fun" Hamilton: am i a joke to you

Choreographer: "Ok, so here's the plan...." Hamilstaff: *waits* Choreographer: ".......The plan is that there's no plan!!!!"

This is a perfect representation as to why The Company is so important, yet underrated. They bring life to the musical.

i just love the scene at 1:02 lmao. phillip is obviously very disappointed and jefferson's like "you see that?? that's your dad we're talking 'bout here... are you reading it? i hope you're reading it cuzzzz..."

6 Reasons The Reynolds Pamphlet Is The Best Scene In Hamilton: 1) Daveed Diggs 2) Daveed Diggs 3) Daveed Diggs 4) Daveed Diggs 5) Daveed Diggs 6) King George

Jefferson: Never gonna be president now (because he cheated on his wife) Also Jefferson: Gets his slave pregnant 9 times

2:42 this guy was just throwing it back on the floor and I couldn’t stop laughing- love how they were having fun here

I really think Angelica should have slapped Hamilton in the face after finishing her part

I love how disappointed George Washington is in this scene, and the fact that king George is just there for no reason

Reason seven: The conductor popping up and being handed a copy.

It’s like the family absolutely doing the most in we don’t talk about Bruno, but you remember Bruno is in the walls and can hear them

The cast all frantically picking up the pamphlets is so funny for no reason

Why did Maria Reynolds cross the road? To get to Alexander Hamilton's House. At his own house. At his own house. *Damn.*

It must suck for Philippa cause everybody’s partying but she has to do a super emotional song lol

Me, seeing the title of this video: “king George’s dancing”

Thomas Jefferson is just trolling in the background and its hilarious

How does Lin NOT laugh during this? If I were him I would break down 😭

Ok, let's be real, the only reason people dont like this scene is because everyone has just been screaming at the screen, "DONT YOU DARE DO IT. DONT DO IT. NO. DONT. ALEXANDER. *DONT DO IT."* yet he still did it. And then this happened.

The fact that the ensemble is twerking and messing around while Hamilton is now depressed, Eliza is crying and burning down the house in a corner, and Angelica is screaming in anger. I-

The way everyone, even daveed and Leslie were just grinding on everything

0:08 jefferson just popping up there suddenly is hilarious.

But how does Jonathan Groff go downstairs so smoothly!? He looks like he is on an escalator 😂

daveed's prancing was so good that they made him a whole seperate reason

0:44 Maria: *gasp* wait why am I gasping I already knew that

My reasons why the Reynolds pamphlet is the best scene 1. The fun in this song 2. It's catchy 3. Renee 4. Daveed Diggs 5. Jonathan Groff Also this is in no particular order

I did not realize the amount of sexual energy there was in the dancers

Choreographer: ok so the plan is...is.... Hamilstaff: what? Choreographer: um....go crazy this time...

when ever I watch it I am literally so impressed they got the paper picked up before Eliza went on 😭😭 and I love how everyone is so loose during the scene it makes so happy seeing it 😍

I’m crying thus is such a whole mood. I didn’t realise how much of meme the whole performance is 😂😂😭😭

honestly i take any chance i can get to look at jasmine. she was just standing behind the chair and i was like YESS QUEEEN LET EM KNOW

2:01 king george: YEET

Literally every background dancer in the Reynolds pamphlet: *aggressively reads paper*

6) Everyone seems to be having so much fun Hamilton: Eliza: Philip: Washington :

May I please add a #7? Notice how they are flinging the pamphlets ALL OVER THE PLACE, , but close to the end the dancers pick ALL OF THEM back up to clear the stage. You KNOW all those pages flew in different places every time they performed this number. 😎

honestly, the entire vibe of the musical and the cast is summed up in a single song. The Reynolds pamphlet. it’s just pure chaos and i love it

Every part that includes Daveed is perfect 😭😭 and I like to think the director just went "yeah you all can just free style this so long as you mock Hamilton it's good" 😭😭😭

Hamilton publish Reynolds panflet and ruins his life Hamilton: the worst day of my life Thomas: the best day of my life

Ensemble: So what are we doing for The Reynolds Pamphlet? Choreographer: *yes*

I love how the main characters are just having a serious moment and the backup dancers are just *twerking and grinding on shit-* *Rolling around in the letters XD*

Love Daveed’s expression during this song Just shows how much Jefferson was happy with Hamilton’s downfall

2:11 Phillipa herself has said that every night she hoped she could get a tear out in burn because she finds it hard after seeing everyone having fun onstage

Teacher: define chaos Me: the Reynolds pamphlet.

2:57 did he just do a little bit of the wap?

1:57 it's like looking at a cell moving around through a microscope

This whole scene is like when everyone passes a grade but you fail😂

I love how all of the dancers have twerked at least once in that preformance

David diggs: NeVer gOnnA bE pReSiDenT nOw~ *Then his lil bounce on the desk*

It's so weird to me that Hamilton would think Angelica was there for him. Dude. I love that the conductor gets a copy.
