Me: Hey, everyone! Welcome to another episode of Musical Characters React...

Peggy: And Peggy!

(Screen goes to static and then comes back)

Me: Okay, take two! Welcome back to another episode of Musical Characters react live from our houses!

Anna of Cleves: I hope you guys are safe while you're getting down in your palaces!

Eliza: Please, PLEASE stay at home!

Me: Okay, what has everyone been doing while in quarantine?

Hamilton: I've been doing lots and lots of work...

Madison:...and we've been doing Zoom cabinet meetings... (shudders) They are SO chaotic!

Eliza: Yeah, from what I hear from Alex's room, I can tell.

Hamilton: That's because Jefferson's ego is too big to realize that I'm right!

Jefferson: Aw, shut up, Hamilton!

Hamilton: YOU shut up!

Eliza: Alex spent a good half hour cussing Jefferson out during one of those Zoom meetings...

Me: Oy vey...

Catherine Parr: The other queens and I have been just relaxing and doing our own things. It IS a nice break.

Peggy: I've been catching up on some GREAT TV shows and movies!

Sonny: Okay, speaking of movies, can we talk about how it's SO unfair that so many movies and musicals are being postponed-slash-cancelled?! I mean, I got PISSED when I found out the In The Heights movie got pulled indefinitely!

Carla: You don't mean...

Veronica: Yep, it's not gonna come out on June 26, and there is no new release date...YET

Usnavi: Yeah, Sonny's reaction to the news was NOT pretty.

Catherine of Aragon: Neither was Boleyn's when we found out we weren't gonna be opening to the public on Broadway on March 12. I had to wash her mouth out with soap!

Anne Boleyn: I regret nothing.

J.D.: Okay, if any more movies get postponed, I'm gonna...

Katherine Howard: With the way things are going, I don't think Broadway will be back on on April 12. I'm probably gonna guess that it will be back...end of April or early May AT THE EARLIEST. Maybe even later, I don't know.

Anne Boleyn: You should have said "End of May or early June"! (Whispering) Hopefully things will get back to normal by then. (In normal volume) That would've been a good opportunity for a Dear Evan Hansen reference!

King George: Yeah, over in London, West End is also shut down, too, so....

Anna of Cleves: It's a total bummer.

Angelica: But it's for the best. We have to do social distancing to flatten the curve.

Jefferson:...and also we don't want to expose the virus to those who are more at risk.

Heather C.: Okay, I didn't come here for a COVID-19 PSA, can we get on with things?

King George: Yeah!

J.D.: Yeah, we're on a looooong break for school... so please! No...more...learning!

Veronica: Ha! (High fives J.D.)

Me: Okay, so today's request is by Sabre_Orca.

Burr: Aw, [bleep!]

Me: Yeah, today, we're reacting to an angsty song. For those of you watching who don't know, "Dear Theodosia Reprise" is a song that was cut from the final product of Hamilton, and it's about Burr telling his daughter that her mother has passed.

Sonny: Whyyyyyy?!

Heather D.: Didn't we react to enough angst already?

Mulligan: My thoughts exactly!

Madison: I feel really bad for Burr, though.

Me: I'm really sorry guys, but the wheel has spoken. Okay, here we go. This is Dear Theodosia Reprise.

https://youtu.be/gEhVgjbOGiY

Dear Theodosia, how to say to you
Sometime last night, your mother breathed your name
And like a flame that flickers out too soon, she died
She's gone

Burr: (Tears up) I remember that day really well...

Eliza: I'm so sorry! She and I were really good friends... it was really sad to see her go.

Jane Seymour: I wonder how Henry felt when I died after childbirth...

She dedicated every day to you
She changed my life, she made my life worthwhile

Burr: She did, indeed...

Philip: (Heavy sigh) How did Theo react when you told her?

Burr: It's too painful to talk about.

And when you smile
I know a part of her lives on
I know I can go on

You have come of age with our young nation
We bleed and fight for you
Sometimes it seems that's all we do

Daniela: That's what all good parents do.

Jane Seymour: YEAH...

And you and I will build a strong foundation
And I'll be here for you
The way is clear for you to blow us all away

Someday, someday, yeah you'll blow us all away

Someday, someday...

[The song ends]

Everyone: WHYYYYYYY????!!!!

Catherine Parr: (Crying) I'm not crying... you are!

Peggy: Oh my goodness! This is so sad!

King George: It...it is!

Me: Okay, let's... get ourselves some ice cream and cookies and blankets and stuff and then meet back here in five minutes, have a good cry...

[Five minutes later, we all have ice cream and blankets with us]

Laurens: This is the most angstiest cut song from "Hamilton" that I've heard!

Me: Yeah....

Angelica: My favorite cut song is probably "Congratulations"!

Catherine Parr: Yeah, me too!

Hamilton: Hey!

Mulligan: (to Burr) I... I feel for you, man! It must have been really hard, losing your wife like that...

Burr: Thanks.

Heather C.: Even I'm a bit teary (to Heathers D. and M.) Don't tell ANYONE about this!

J.D.: Yeah, I think Veronica and I will have an ice cream angst session after this. Whoo...

Philip: Same here. I think I'll Zoom with Theo after this.

Me: Okay, that's all the time we have for today!

Anna of Cleves: Feel free to drop a request, comment, and vote!

Angelica:...as LONG as it's appropriate!

Madison: And guys, PLEASE stay safe!

Me: Until next time...

Everyone: Bye!
