Listening to Soundtracks!


Me: Hey, guys! Happy Saturday!

Philip: Hello!

Usnavi: Ugh! I needed a long break from working at the bodega! Thank goodness it's Saturday!

Sonny: You said it, cuz!

Jefferson: I NEED this break because of Hamilton being such an [bleep!] during cabinet meetings!

Hamilton: You're just pressed because I win all the time!

Madison and Burr: Save it for the next meeting, guys!

King George: Ha! I can't relate 'cause I'VE NEVER WORKED A DAY IN MY LIFE!

Literally everyone in the room: SHUT UP!

King George: TREASON!

Me: King George, to the timeout corner!

King George: I'm a king! You can't tell me what to do!

Me: Oh, yes I can.

Hamilton and Laurens: (Dragging a kicking and screaming King George to the timeout corner) A-bye bye!

King George: I'LL HAVE YOUR HEAD FOR THIS! WHERE'S MY BEHEADING STICK?!!

Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard: (Shudder) Oh, the memories...

Burr: Good riddance!!

Heather C.: Whew! Glad that's not me this time!

Veronica: I'm not!

Me: Okay, today's request is from Ressesgirl559.

Hamilton: Seems more like a reaction than a dare, but okay...

Eliza: What's "Be More Chill" and "Dear Evan Hansen"?

Me: They're both other musicals. Be More Chill actually closed around a week ago. 

Catherine of Aragon: Well, that's sad.

Me: It is. Anyway, they want us to listen to all the songs of those two musicals, so we'll start with Be More Chill. It's about a boy named Jeremy who takes a pill with a supercomputer in it to be more cooler but said supercomputer is actually trying to take over the world.

Philip: Whoa... that sounds complicated.

Katherine Howard: Is that actually possible?

Me: Don't worry, it isn't. Anyway, we're going to listen to the songs! 

[Timeskip to "More Than Survive"]

Veronica: HE'S WAITING FOR HIS WHAT TO LOAD?!

J.D.: (Spits out his Slurpee he was drinking)

Vanessa: That's just disgusting!

Usnavi:  ¿Escuché eso correctamente? (Did I hear that correctly?)

Me: Yep, you heard that right.

Katherine Howard: What's "porno"?

Me: It's short for "pornography", which is... something I should not define in this show because this show is PG.

Angelica: That's just obscene....

Veronica: I can relate to this guy in terms of trying to desperately survive high school...

J.D.: It looks like he has a crush on this "Christine".

Me: Yep!

J.D.: Hey! 7-11 is MY place!

[Timeskip to "I Love Play Rehearsal"]

Lafayette: Wow, this girl is enthusiastic.

Eliza: Ha! Does that remind us of someone? (Looks at Alexander)

[Timeskip to "More Than Survive (Reprise)"]

Me: High schoolers who have been noticed by their crush can relate.

(The "Heathers" characters nod)

[Timeskip to "The SQUIP Song"]

Eliza: (In mock anger) Hey! "Helpless" is MY word!

Carla: What's a SQUIP?

Me: The supercomputer I was talking about when I was explaining the plot of the play. 

[Timeskip to "Two-Player Game"]

Veronica: I think I can totally relate to Jeremy's struggle...

Laurens: This seems like a fun song to sing with your best friend.

Hamilton: Yep!

[Timeskip to "The SQUIP Enters"]

Heather M.: Wait, what's happening?!

Me: The SQUIP is entering his body.

Catherine Parr: This seems a bit weird.

Anna of Cleves: Yeah...

[Timeskip to "Be More Chill Pt. 1"]

Katherine Howard: I feel disturbed by the way the SQUIP talks to Jeremy...

Me: Yeah...

Nina: Wait, he's a WHAT?!!!!

Philip: Judging from your reaction, I think I should be disgusted.

Benny: That's just sick!

[Timeskip to "Do You Wanna Ride"]

Veronica: Why does this remind me of the time the Heathers tried to make me totally kick Martha to the curb?

[Timeskip to "Be More Chill Pt. 2"]

Hamilton: Yep, the SQUIP is creepy. 

Angelica: Why would it make the poor boy say such negative things about himself?

Eliza: It's so sad!

Philip: That's SO not cool!

Heather C.: Sounds like something I would do!

Veronica: Don't. You. Dare.

[Timeskip to "Sync Up"]

Daniela: So... what's going on?

Me: It's about how ever since Jeremy got the SQUIP, everyone is noticing him.

[Timeskip to "A Guy That I'd Kinda Be Into"]

Veronica: I'd never had that happen...

Nina: Benny, YOU'RE the guy I'd kinda be into!

Benny: Thanks!

(Nina and Benny kiss)

Sonny: GET A ROOM!

Philip: Wait, WHAT?! The said guy is Jake?

[Timeskip to "Upgrade"]

Eliza: Aww... Jeremy is asking Christine out!

Peggy: I TOTALLY relate to Brooke! I'm constantly the underappreciated Schuyler Sister! I'm always the third wheel and only known as "Angelica and Eliza's little sister"! I'm sick and tired of it!

Me: Awww... Peggy. The Hamilton fandom will always have a place for you!

Peggy: Thanks!

[Timeskip to "Loser, Geek, Whatever"]

Anna of Cleves: Wow, this is deep.

Veronica: I actually relate to this pretty hard.

Nina: It's not an unusual feeling.

[Timeskip to "Halloween"]

Veronica: This reminds me of when we had that big party at Homecoming.

J.D.: The one where you threw up on Heather?

Daniela and Carla: No me diga!

[Timeskip to "Do You Wanna Hang"]

Hamilton: No, Jeremy! Don't do it!

Angelica and Eliza: Says the one who actually DID succumb to his desires! 

[Timeskip to "Michael In The Bathroom"]

Mulligan: Hey! It's the Toilet Kid song!

Me: He has a name!

Mulligan: I know! It's much more fun calling him Toilet Kid, though.

Veronica: Aww... poor Michael!

[Timeskip to "A Guy That I'd Kinda Be Into (Reprise)"]

Philip: What! Christine shot him down?!

J.D.: Yep... (Sips his Slurpee)

Peggy: How sad!

[Timeskip to "The Smartphone Hour (Rich Set A Fire)"]

Me: There should be a Broadway pyromaniacs club with Eliza, Rich, J.D., and Regina.

Daniela: Ha!

[Timeskip to "The Pants Song"]

Peggy: Okay... why is this song about putting on pants?

Me: I think it's a metaphor. Jeremy's dad and Michael are trying to help Jeremy.

[Timeskip to "The Pitiful Children"]

Usnavi: Is this the point where the SQUIP is trying to take over everyone?

Me: Yep. 

Vanessa: These kids are cool just the way they are! They don't need a SQUIP!

[Timeskip to "The Play"]

Lafayette: Oh, boy, it's happening!

Hamilton: How do you get rid of a SQUIP?

Me: You need Mountain Dew Red.

Everyone: RESIST THE SQUIP!!!

[Timeskip to "Voices In My Head"]

Peggy: Yay! They drowned out the SQUIP!

Me: Okay! That was all of Be More Chill! 

Usnavi: Okay! What's Dear Evan Hansen about?

Me: It is about a boy named Evan Hansen who has social anxiety, and for his therapy, he had to write letters to himself. When his crush, Zoe Murphy's, brother Connor dies from suicide, Connor had one of Evan's letters in his pocket and the Murphys think it was a suicide note from Connor to Evan, so through a complicated series of lies about him and Connor being best friends, Evan finally fits in. 

Anne Boleyn: Wow! That is so complicated!

Me: Let's get on with the soundtrack.

[Timeskip to "Anybody Have A Map?"]

Nina: Who's the woman talking to Evan?

Me: That's Heidi Hansen, his mother.

Veronica: Well, she's right about one thing. You should be optimistic whenever there is a fresh start.

[Timeskip to "Waving Through A Window"]

Heather M.: Aww... Evan is a cinnamon roll who must be protected!

Catherine of Aragon: I agree!

Me: Right?! 

[Timeskip to "For Forever"]

Me: So what happens in this scene is that the Murphys invite Evan to dinner to talk to him about his quote-unquote relationship with Connor because they think they were best friends. Evan is lying about a memory with Connor that he supposedly had.

Philip: Wow... I don't know what I'd do in this situation.

Anna of Cleves: A simple thing to do is to come clean...?

[Timeskip to "Sincerely, Me"]

Me: I love this song! 

Hamilton: Yeah, it's catchy!

Usnavi: It sounds like a fun song to sing karaoke to with your friends.

Katherine Howard: This...this is my jam!

[Timeskip to "Requiem"]

Angelica: Why isn't Zoe mourning for her brother?

Me: See, Connor was a violent and moody guy and he and Zoe often fought.

Angelica and Hamilton: Oh... 

[Timeskip to "If I Could Tell Her"]

Me: So in this song, Evan is telling lies about what Connor thought about Zoe to her.

Daniela: But won't trying to live a lie put lots of pressure on this kid?

Me: It would... 

[Timeskip to "Disappear"]

Veronica: Yep. No one deserves to be forgotten.

Me: Say it louder for the people in the back, sista!

The queens: HECK YEAH!!!

[Timeskip to "You Will Be Found"]

Me: Hey, Alex, did you know that Lin-Manuel Miranda and Evan's actor, Ben Platt recorded a mashup of this song and "The Story of Tonight"?

Hamilton: Why is this guy following us everywhere?!

Me: It's a good song! Give it a listen! It's called "Found/Tonight"! 

Jefferson: So this guy made a speech and it blew up all over?

Me: Yep, sort of how Hamilton published the Reynolds Pamphlet and IT blew up all over, but this one is in a WAY more positive way.

Hamilton: Do you SERIOUSLY need to guilt-trip me right now?

Me: Yep!

Catherine Parr: Ya done messed up!

[Timeskip to "To Break In A Glove"]

Me: So in this scene, Connor's father is showing Evan how to break in a baseball glove, but it also is a metaphor for life.

Usnavi: Yep, it DOES take a little patience! Like Abuela Claudia said: "Paciencia y fe"!

[Timeskip to "Only Us"]

Veronica: Aww, I ship it!

Me: Me, too. Unfortunately, their whole relationship is based on a lie...

[Timeskip to "Good For You"]

Me: This is the point where it all goes downhill.

Daniela: I knew that it would all blow up like that.

[Timeskip to "Words Fail"]

Me: So, before this song, the Murphys get hurtful comments on social media, so Evan comes clean about his lies.

Hamilton: HA! Words have never failed ME!

[Timeskip to "So Big/So Small"]

Me: In this song, Evan's mother is reflecting on the day his father left the family.

Hamilton: I can relate to him...

[Timeskip to "Finale"]

Me: So it's been a year since all the craziness happened, and the scene before, Evan meets up with Zoe and they catch up on things, and then in this song, he writes another letter to himself.

Veronica: Aww, everything ended nicely!

Me: Whew! What a musical workout! So, which musical did you like better?

The "Heathers" Characters and the queens: Be More Chill!

The "Hamilton" and "In The Heights" characters: Dear Evan Hansen!

Hamilton: They are both about high schoolers going through lots of drama, though one is more realistic than the other.

Me: I personally prefer Dear Evan Hansen. I read the novel and it was pretty good! I liked it! Well, that's all the time we have for today! Feel free to ask, dare, or request anything in the comments below!

Everyone: Bye!
