reasons why ‘the room where it happens’ is amazing

• that trumpet intro
  
• the banter between hamilton and burr
• diametrically opposed…FOES
• ‘how the sausage gets made’
  
• THOMAS CLAAAAAAIIIMMMMS
• i arranged the menu, the venue, the seating (THAT RHYME SCHEME)
• ‘wouldn’t you like to work a little closer to home?’ ‘actually ah would’ (which is LITERALLY THE REASON THE CAPITAL MOVED)
• my god IN GOD WE TRUST
• click BOOM then it happened
  
• ALEXANDER HAMILTON
• SELL NEW YORK CITY DOWN THE RIVAAAARRRR
• the sound of realization in burr’s voice when he understands hamilton’s master plan
• when you got skin in the game you stay in the game
• that musical reprise of ‘wait for it’ used to mock burr
• WHAT DO YOU WANT BURR WHAT DO WANT BURR IF YOU STAND FOR NOTHING BURR WHAT’LL YOU FALL FOR
• burr finally deciding to take action for the first time and the slow rise of confidence in his voice and the tempo swelling in the background
• the jazz influences because Jefferson’s rubbing off on him
• THAT BIG OLD ROOM
• ‘hold your nose and close your eyes’
  
• WE DREAM OF A BRAND NEW START
• it’s like a disney villain song BUT HE ISN’T A VILLAIN
• the ultimate showstopper
• i’ve had this on loop for hours my god it’s absolutely perfect and so underrated on the soundtrack

correction: my GOD in GOD we TRUST but we never really KNOW what GOT disCUSSED
