The Story of Tonight Reprise (2014 Workshop)
[LAURENS]
I may not live to see our glory!
[MULLIGAN/LAFAYETTE]
I may not live to see our glory!
[LAURENS]
But I’ve seen wonders great and small
[MULLIGAN/LAFAYETTE]
I’ve seen wonders great and small
[LAURENS]
‘Cause if the tomcat can get married
[MULLIGAN/LAFAYETTE]
If Alexander can get married—
[LAURENS]
There’s hope for our ass, after all!
[LAFAYETTE]
Raise a glass to freedom
[HAMILTON/LAURENS/MULLIGAN]
Hey!
[LAURENS/MULLIGAN]
Something you will never see again!
[MULLIGAN]
No matter what she tells you
[LAFAYETTE]
Let’s have another round tonight!
[LAURENS]
Raise a glass to the four of us!
[MULLIGAN]
To the newly not poor of us!
[LAURENS/LAFAYETTE/HAMILTON]
Woo!
[LAFAYETTE]
We’ll tell the story of tonight
[LAURENS]
Let’s have another round—
[HAMILTON]
Well, if it isn’t Aaron Burr
[BURR]
Sir?
[HAMILTON]
I didn’t think that you would make it
[BURR]
To be sure
[MULLIGAN/LAFAYETTE]
Burr!
[BURR]
I came to say congratulations
[MULLIGAN]
Spit a verse, Burr!
[BURR]
I see the whole gang is here
[LAFAYETTE]
You are the worst, Burr
[HAMILTON]
Ignore them. Congrats to you, Lieutenant Colonel
I wish I had your command instead of manning George’s journal
[BURR]
No, you don’t
[HAMILTON]
Yes, I do
[BURR]
Now, be sensible
From what I hear, you’ve made yourself indispensable
[LAURENS]
Well, well, I heard
You’ve got a special someone on the side, Burr
[HAMILTON]
Is that so?
[LAURENS]
What are you tryin’ to hide, Burr?
[BURR]
I should go
[HAMILTON]
No, these guys should go
[LAFAYETTE]
What?
[LAURENS]
No!
[MULLIGAN]
C'mon man!
[HAMILTON]
Leave us alone
[HAMILTON]
It’s alright, Burr. I wish you’d brought this girl with you tonight, Burr
[BURR]
You’re very kind, but I’m afraid it’s unlawful, sir
[HAMILTON]
What do you mean?
[BURR]
She’s married
[HAMILTON]
I see
[BURR]
She’s married to a British officer
[HAMILTON]
Oh shit...
[BURR]
Congrats again, Alexander. Smile more
I’ll see you on the other side of the war
[HAMILTON]
I will never understand you
If you love this woman, go get her! What are you waiting for?
[BURR]
I’ll see you on the other side of the war
[HAMILTON]
I’ll see you on the other side of the war
