Deadline Extended
Hamilfans! I am here to take on a very big, exciting, adventure, and I'm here to have you join me. I will be creating a fan recording of the whole musical, Hamilton. There are 46 songs in total, and around 15 (give or take) roles to fill. As well as just ensemble, which will be made up from all roles and backgrounds.
95% percent of the available roles allow anyone of either gender to audition, or be casted.
More Details:
-Auditions close on June 4th, but depending on the situation, may be extended.
-Following the above, I will also close certain character auditions sooner than others.
-If you are auditioning, please try to have a clear mic, or one that is decent. I can working my audio editing magic, but only so much. So please try to limit background noise and such.
-I plan on doing all the audio mixing myself, but if you'd like to help, please let me know, I'm always open to help.
-You can audition for more than one role.
If you are interested in auditioning, please know that I expect full, or close to full dedication. This is not a small project that will be done over the course of a weekend. It may take a few weeks.
If you have any further questions feel free to contact me on this site.
Thanks!
Note- I will have a skype group set up for any and all who are casted. If you have an issue with this let me know
updated/edited title of project and description.
not really important, but am sharing anyways lol
Changed the gender requirement/thing/whatever for A. Ham, Laurens, and Philip Ham.
They are now all male OR female as opposed to the previous only male. :)
Added the role of Charles Lee
Another of Hamilton's close friends (and a fellow immigrant), Mulligan is a gifted tailor and spirited conversationalist who charms intelligence out of British officers and feeds it to the rebels.
A tailor spyin’ on the British government!
I take their measurements, information and then I smuggle it
To my brother's revolutionary covenant
I’m runnin’ with the Sons of Liberty and I am lovin’ it!
See, that’s what happens when you up against the ruffians
We in the shit now, somebody gotta shovel it!
Hercules Mulligan,I need no introduction
When you knock me down I get the fuck back up again!
Brrrah brraaah! I am Hercules Mulligan
Up in it, lovin’ it,yes I heard ya mother said “Come again?”
Lock up ya daughters and horses, of course
It’s hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets…
(If want to, you can sing whatever you'd like from the show here)
A soldier and statesman from a wealthy family who serves as one of Washington's aides-de-camp. Hamilton's best friend.
Show time! Show time! Yo!
I’m John Laurens in the place to be!
Two pints o’ Sam Adams, but I’m workin’ on three, uh!
Those redcoats don’t want it with me!
Cuz I will pop chick-a pop these cops till I’m free!
The ten-dollar founding father without a father
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter
By being a self-starter
By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a
Trading charter
(If want to, you can sing whatever you'd like from the show here)
Going to convince Jefferson to include women in the sequel. (haha)
I have never been the same
Intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame
And when you said “Hi,” I forgot my dang name
Set my heart aflame, ev’ry part aflame
I’ve been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine
So men say that I’m intense or I’m insane
You want a revolution? I want a revelation
So listen to my declaration:
(If want to, you can sing whatever you'd like from the show here)
Hear ye, hear ye!My name is Samuel Seabury
And I present “Free Thoughts on the
Proceedings of the Continental Congress!”
Heed not the rabble who scream revolution
They have not your interests at heart
Chaos and bloodshed are not a solution
Don’t let them lead you astray
This Congress does not speak for me
They’re playing a dangerous game
(If want to, you can sing whatever you'd like from the show here)
(Also if you wanted to add a small clip of yourself singing part of Burn, that'd be cool. Brownie points for you)
Middle daughter of Philip Schuyler, Eliza is sweeter and more passive than Angelica, but falls for Hamilton just as easily
Look at where you are
Look at where you started
The fact that you’re alive is a miracle
Just stay alive, that would be enough
And if this child
Shares a fraction of your smile
Or a fragment of your mind, look out world!
That would be enough
I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight
We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night
Laughin’ at my sister as she’s dazzling the room
Then you walked in and my heart went “Boom!”
Tryin’ to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom
Everybody’s dancin’ and the band’s top volume
Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine
Grabe my sister and whisper
"Yo, this one's mine"
Your son is nine years old today
And he has something that he’d like to say
He’s been practicing all day
Philip, take it away—
(Because lines are so limited for both Peggy and Maria, both auditions will have crossing lines)
The youngest of the Schuyler sisters shown on stage
Look around, look around at how
Lucky we are to be alive right now!
I know you are a man of honor
I’m so sorry to bother you at home
But I don’t know where to go, and I came here all alone…
My husband’s doin’ me wrong
Beatin’ me, cheatin’ me, mistreatin’ me...
Suddenly he’s up and gone
I don’t have the means to go on
(If want to, you can sing whatever you'd like from the show here)
The eldest son of Alexander and Eliza Hamilton, named after his grandfather Philip Schuyler.
Meet the latest graduate of King’s College!
I prob’ly shouldn’t brag, but, dag, I amaze and astonish!
The scholars say I got the same virtuosity and brains as my pops!
The ladies say my brain’s not where the resemblance stops!
I’m only nineteen but my mind is older
Gotta be my own man, like my father, but bolder
I did exactly as you said, Pa
I held my head up high
Even before we got to ten—
I was aiming for the sky
I was aiming for the sky
(If want to, you can sing whatever you'd like from the show here)
The ten-dollar Founding Father without a father
Burr, check what we got
Mister Lafayette, hard rock like Lancelot
I think your pants look hot
Laurens, I like you a lot
Let’s hatch a plot blacker than the kettle callin’ the pot...
What are the odds the gods would put us all in one spot
Poppin’ a squat on conventional wisdom, like it or not
A bunch of revolutionary manumission abolitionists?
Give me a position, show me where the ammunition is!
Oh, am I talkin’ too loud?
Sometimes I get over excited, shoot off at the mouth
I never had a group of friends before
I promise that I’ll make y’all proud
And there you are, an ocean away
Do you have to live an ocean away?
Thoughts of you subside
Then I get another letter
I cannot put the notion away…
(If want to, you can sing whatever you'd like from the show here)
A former ally of Hamilton's who ends up siding with Jefferson and company. Will go on to be the fourth president of the United States
He was in a position to enrich himself a thousand ways, and he didn't
Does that make him foolish
Or honest?
Thomas, we are engaged in a battle for our nation’s very soul
Can you get us out of the mess we’re in?
Hamilton’s new financial plan is nothing less
Than government control
I’ve been fighting for the South alone
Where have you been?
(If want to, you can sing whatever you'd like from the show here)
Becomes something of a father figure to Hamilton, as well as his primary political supporter.
One last time
Relax, have a drink with me
One last time
Let’s take a break tonight
And then we’ll teach them how to say goodbye
To say goodbye
You and I
I was younger than you are now
When I was given my first command
I led my men straight into a massacre
I witnessed their deaths firsthand
I made every mistake
I felt the shame rise in me
And even now I lie awake
Knowing history has it's eyes on me
Check it—
Can I be real a second?
For just a millisecond?
Let down my guard and tell the people how I feel a second?
Now I’m the model of a modern major general
The venerated Virginian veteran whose men are all
Lining up, to put me up on a pedestal
Writin’ letters to relatives
Embellishin’ my elegance and eloquence
But the elephant is in the room
The truth is in ya face when ya hear the British cannons go…
Boom!
One of Hamilton's political rivals and for the most part, the narrator of the musical.
Good luck with that: you’re takin’ a stand
You spit. I’m ‘a sit. We’ll see where we land
Dear Theodosia, what to say to you?
You have my eyes. You have your mother’s name
When you came into the world, you cried and it broke my heart
I’m dedicating every day to you
Domestic life was never quite my style
When you smile, you knock me out, I fall apart
And I thought I was so smart
How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower
Somehow defeat a global superpower?
How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?
Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross’ flag higher?
Yo. Turns out we have a secret weapon!
An immigrant you know and love who’s unafraid to step in!
He’s constantly confusin’, confoundin’ the British henchmen
Ev’ryone give it up for America’s favorite fighting Frenchman!
King of Britain at the time of the Revolution, George has pretty pointed opinions of the Revolution and its aftermath.
(Just sing anything from any of King George's songs, or anything from the show)
I'd like some sort of accent, possibly similar to Lafayette's, but if you are unable to do so, that's okay.
Oui oui, mon ami, je m’appelle Lafayette!
The Lancelot of the revolutionary set!
I came from afar just to say “Bonsoir!”
Tell the King “Casse toi!” Who’s the best?
C’est moi!
I’m takin this horse by the reins makin’
Redcoats redder with bloodstains
And I’m never gonna stop until I make ‘em
Drop and burn ‘em up and scatter their remains, I’m
Watch me engagin’ em! Escapin’ em!
Enragin’ em! I’m—
I go to France for more funds
I come back with more
Guns
And ships
And so the balance shifts
(If want to, you can sing whatever you'd like from the show here)
Another Founding Father, who returns from France at the beginning of Act II.
So what’d I miss?
What’d I miss?
Virginia, my home sweet home,I wanna give you a kiss
I’ve been in Paris meeting lots of different ladies...
I guess I basic’lly missed the late eighties...
I traveled the wide, wide world and came back to this…
Ooh, if the shoe fits, wear it
If New York’s in debt—
Why should Virginia bear it? Uh! Our debts are paid, I’m afraid
Don’t tax the South cuz we got it made in the shade
In Virginia, we plant seeds in the ground
We create. You just wanna move our money around
This financial plan is an outrageous demand
And it’s too many damn pages for any man to understand
Stand with me in the land of the free
And pray to God we never see Hamilton’s candidacy
Look, when Britain taxed our tea, we got frisky
Imagine what gon’ happen when you try to tax our whisky
It must be nice, it must be nice to have
Washington on your side
It must be nice, it must be nice to have
Washington on your side
Look back at the Bill of Rights
The ink hasn’t dried
It must be nice, it must be nice to have
Washington on your side
Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds you in good health
And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth
In the pockets of people like me: down on their luck
You see, that was my wife who you decided to
(If want to, you can sing whatever you'd like from the show here)
Maria Reynolds comes to Hamilton in a time of personal crisis, eventually beginning an affair with him
I know you are a man of honor
I’m so sorry to bother you at home
But I don’t know where to go, and I came here all alone…
My husband’s doin’ me wrong
Beatin’ me, cheatin’ me, mistreatin’ me...
Suddenly he’s up and gone
I don’t have the means to go on
Please don’t leave me with him helpless
Just give him what he wants and you can have me
Whatever you want,
If you pay, you can stay
tonight
(If want to, you can sing whatever you'd like from the show here)
I'm general, whee!
Washington cannot be left alone to his devices Indecisive, from crisis to crisis The best thing he can do for the revolution
Is turn n’ go back to plantin’ tobacco in Mount Vernon
