Me: Hey, guys! SURPRISE! I bet you didn't expect another episode, right?

Usnavi: Well, WE didn't...

Benny: Yeah, this was, like, pretty short notice.

Nina: Mmm-hmm!

King George: This better be good! I don't normally come to things on short notice!

Hamilton: This IS going to be worth it, right? I was in the middle of writing something for Washington when I got a call from the author saying to come here.

Philip: And though I'm well enough to be in an episode, I'm not fully better.

Lafayette: Eh, my day was free, so...

Veronica: I had to rush right after school to be here.

The Heathers and J.D.: Us, too!

King George: (Sarcastically) OH, BOO HOO HOO! 

Everyone: SHUT UP!

King George: TREASON!

Me: King George, one more nasty comment from you, and it's to the timeout corner!

Anne Boleyn: The six of us had to RUSH on over here, like literally, RUSH, right after our show.

Catherine of Aragon: But I have to say, that show was the best "No Way" went for me! I NAILED that high C!

Katherine Howard: Yeah, we were all on our A-game!

Catherine Parr: And I slayed "I Don't Need Your Love"!

Anna of Cleves: Darn right, you did!

Sonny: Okay, why are we here again?

Daniela: Yeah. Carla, Vanessa, and I had to close up the salon early.

Me: Okay, I'm very sorry for the short notice, but now that we're here, I'll explain what we'll be reacting to. This isn't requested by anyone. This is a YouTube video that got uploaded today, and I thought this would be good reacting material. 

Eliza: So what are we reacting to?

Me: So there is this YouTuber named Stephen Flores, or "inreellife". He does pop-culture related skits, most of them theater-related. A series of skits he does is "Stan Wars", where he does a one man skit of two fandoms fighting. Today, we're going to watch a video that was just released this afternoon called "Stan Wars: Hamilton vs. Hadestown".

Jefferson: Say what, now?

Angelica: What's "Hadestown"?

Me: It's a musical based on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. 

Vanessa: Oh, that sounds interesting!

Laurens:...and this guy portrays two guys that like each musical fighting over which is better?

Me: Exactamundo. Oh, and before you guys ask, he uses video editing technology to "clone" himself. I don't know exactly how that works, though. Anyway, let's get to the video!

Burr: What's a "Tony"? And I thought you said that they were going to be fighting.

Me: A Tony is an award for outstanding achievement in Broadway. "Hamilton" has 11. As for the fighting... well, just you wait!

Hamilton: Hey! That's my line!

Heather M.: How many does "Hadestown" have?

Me: They have eight.

Peggy: Ha! Revolutionary! Get it? 'Cause... okay, I'll stop now.

Hamilton: HAMILTON IS THE BEST MUSICAL!

(Mixed arguments of "No! Six/Heathers/In The Heights is the best musical!")

Me: Hey! No fighting!

Angelica: Our musical is not overhyped!

Heather C.: Whatever!

Heather D.: THANK YOU! You do NOT have to say that the road to Hell has a railroad line a billion times!

Heather C.: Yeah! I'd be sick of hearing that over and over!

Me: Be respectful, guys! Really!

Eliza: PREACH IT, STEPHEN! AT LEAST ORPHEUS DIDN'T CHEAT ON HIS WIFE! (Glares at Hamilton)

Peggy: UNLIKE SOMEBODY WE KNOW!

Daniela and Carla: Ya done goofed.

[Onscreen: "I could name ten reasons we're better than you, but you'd already be dead by seven!"]

Hamilton: [Gasps, says at the same time as Stephen] How...dare...you?! 

Philip: (Quietly) Mom... Pops... I'm so sorry!

Carla: Wait, wh---oh....! Oh, that's so cruel!

King George: Even I have to agree that it's cruel!

J.D.: Eh, I've heard worse! (To himself) I've done worse!

Veronica: Jason Dean!

Laurens: Yep! Eleven Tonys over here! 

Mulligan: Preach it!

[Onscreen: "You know, at least our main character, when he was writing, he was doing it  for the good of his country,"]

Hamilton: (Smirks)

Burr: Oh, no... here we go again!

Vanessa: We don't need this man's ego to get bigger.

[Onscreen: "And Percy Jackson did it so much better!"]

Mulligan: OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH! HE JUST GOT BURNED!!

Lafayette: Oh, he got burned indeed!

Burr: Hey! My song is a great song!

Vanessa: Yeah! I love singing "Wait for It"!

[Onscreen: "We'd all be living in a society where our democracy's exploited for the benefit of the one percent"]

Jefferson: (Claps) Yes! Yes! I like this man! I agree! Preach it!

Hamilton: (Stands up) I'll have you know that MY vision for America...

Me: Leave the politics out of this, guys!

Madison: And I have to deal with stuff like this every day...

Burr: Same, James, same!

Angelica: Yay! They finally agreed that both musicals are great!

Me: I like multiple musicals, too! It IS pretty fun, but it can be hard, too, especially in situations like this.

Nina: Huh! I guess Orpheus and Alexander have a lot in common after all!

Vanessa: Y'know, I didn't notice that until he pointed that out!

Benny: Ha! Looks like they didn't quite decide that both are equally great after all!

Jane Seymour: Wait, what's "Phantom" and "Wicked"?

Me: "Phantom" is short for the musical adaptation of "Phantom of the Opera", one of the longest-running show on Broadway, and "Wicked" is basically the prequel to "The Wizard of Oz". So, what did you guys think!

Daniela: It was really funny! I'd like to check out some of this guy's other videos! 

Jane Seymour: Yeah, me, too! Did he do something about "Six"?

Me: As a matter of fact, yes. He did a video called "How Everyone Reacts to Six", where he is basically portraying someone listening to the songs and commenting on them.

Vanessa: Yeah, I have to agree with Dani, it was really funny.

Lafayette: I did like how they made up in the end, too! Kind of...

Me: Yeah, this is actually the first "Stan Wars" video where the two fans come to an agreement... well, kind of, anyway.  Okay, that's all the time we have for "Ask Musical Characters"! Feel free to comment and request, ask, or dare us stuff! Have a great labor day weekend, everyone! See you guys next time!

Everyone: Bye!

[A/N: A reminder that I will NOT be updating this weekend due to my traveling during labor day. See you guys next week!]
