Say Their Names
Day 1 of Tumblrâs #ActsOfPride campaign:
These are the black trans lives we have lost due to violence in the United States since 2009. Sadly, this is most likely not a complete list as many of the souls we have lost go unreported or were misgendered. They will not be forgotten.

 âWe have to make this moment last,â Lin-Manuel Miranda sings near the beginning of âHamilton,â referring to revolutionary fervor but also apparently youthful vigor; then he immediately corrects himself: âThis is not a moment, itâs the movement.â
Now that the film of the stage musical  has started streaming on Disney+ this Independence Day weekend, this theater about the âten-dollar Founding Father without a fatherâ embodies for me three moments that feel like movements.
There is of course its chronicling of the moment a new nation came into being, a sweeping story that Miranda chooses to tell through the life of  Alexander Hamilton â a wise choice.
âIn all probability, Alexander Hamilton is the foremost political figure in American history who never attained the presidency, yet he probably had a much deeper and more lasting impact than many who did,â Ron Chernow writes in his 2004 âAlexander Hamiltonâ a 700-page biography that inspired and informed Mirandaâs musical.
Right-hand man to George Washington during the Revolutionary War, the first Secretary of the Treasury, the main architect of the American banking system, Hamilton had his hand in so many national events in the three decades between his arrival in New York as an orphaned teenage immigrant from the Caribbean right before the American Revolution, and his death by duel in 1804, that the musical canât even include all of them. (He also founded both the United States Coast Guard and the New York Post, for example)
But many people now know all this about Hamilton â thanks to the five years that âHamiltonâ has been embedded in American popular culture, a presence so powerful that it upended the federal governmentâs plan to replace Hamiltonâs face on the ten dollar bill.
If itâs striking that a Broadway musical charging as much as $1,000 a ticket would so thoroughly enter the public consciousness, it speaks to the moment in which it was born. Recall that Mirandaâs first public performance of what became the opening number of âHamiltonâ was in the White house in front of Barac Barack and Michelle Obama four months after Obama took office. Â It feels like more than a coincidence that it was in the Obama years when the casting of this new musical primarily with performers of color â many descended from slaves, portraying Americaâs founders, many of whom owned slaves â signaled in effect a new generation saying: Weâre America too.
A century and a half after Walt Whitman proclaimed âI hear America singing,â Hamilton and his peers were singing a generous mix of American music â Â rap, yes, but also jazz, r&b, Broadway ballads, even a sampling of operetta
Even the willingness to incorporate straight-ahead civic lessons into a popular entertainment â rap battle about the national debt! â speaks to a moment that promised more widespread civic engagement.
Now, we are in a new moment. There is a lot going on these days, but letâs focus on the timing of Disneyâs launch of this film, live-captured from the stage of the Richard Rodgers Theater in three days in June, 2016, with the original Broadway cast still intact.  At first scheduled for a release in movie theaters in October, 2021, the pandemic changed the plan. It is now up a day before the Fourth of July, but, equally significant, presented four months after the shutdown of physical theaters, into  world in which âonlineâ and âtheaterâ have become synonymous.
This online presentation of âHamiltonâ hardly pioneers the genre of online theater: Theater artists have been experimenting fruitfully since March, and films of stage musicals have been presented on Web-based subscription services like BroadwayHD for years. This doesnât even include National Theatre and Canadaâs Stratford Festival which have routinely videotaped their productions, and have been putting them online for free during the pandemic. But in offering this massive Broadway hit online, âHamiltonâ  gives the genre great attention and remarkable validation.
Itâs arresting how much hype and genuine enthusiasm has been generated because this five-year-old musical has gone online â how many new articles have been written and readâŚincluding by me!
I stayed up late to catch âHamiltonâ right when it debuted online at 3 a.m., although I first saw it live on stage Off-Broadway in February, 2015, then a couple of times with the original Broadway cast
my video review in 2015
youtube
and last saw it on Broadway in March, 2019
It gave me a start to see at the outset of the Disney+ screening the Disney castle logo with the animated fireworks, and the PG-13 rating, but Disney disappears right away.
I can report that some things are better about seeing it online, some worse, but it definitely holds up. Angelica Schuler sings âYou want a revolution? I wanna revelation.â With âHamiltonâ online, we get one.
Whatâs most gained by putting âHamiltonâ online comes from the close-ups and the captions.
In the number âSatisfied,â after Angelica Schuyler in effect has given up Alexander Hamilton to her sister Eliza, the close-up of ReneĂŠ  Elise Goldsberryâs face drives home what this has cost her.
Indeed, though I always grasped that the musical toggled between the personal and the political, the close-ups somehow make the personal feel more prominent than they seemed on stage, especially the relationship between Hamilton and Eliza, and among the Schuyler sisters.
The editing here is generally first-rate, but the use of these close-ups largely assigns the ensembleâs thrilling and inventive choreography to the periphery. Perhaps this is unavoidable, but itâs a loss.
Having the easy option of captions allowed me not just to follow every word â including the famous three-second rap explosions from Daveed Diggs as the Marquis de Lafayette (âIâm never gonna stop til i make âem drop, burn âem up and scatter their remains, Iâm��.â)â but also to register in real time some of the many clever samples and allusionsâŚto Macbeth and the Bible, Gilbert and Sullivan and Biggie Smalls.
I plan to see âHamiltonâ again, soon (another advantage of its being online.) In the meantime, a confession: I cried. And not just at the sad parts, but in the opening number! Iâm not sure why. Maybe it was in recalling those two previous moments (now both historical) that it embodies; maybe because it opens up a new moment of possibility for theater.
