Seeing the effect in person was cool, but seeing them side-by-side on video, it’s staggering how well they recreated the earlier scenes.
One of Hamilton’s biggest showstoppers is “Satisfied,” sung by Renée Elise Goldsberry, which reveals the tortured inner life of Angelica Schuyler, Alexander Hamilton’s sister-in-law.
After Hamilton meets and marries his wife Eliza, Angelica gives a toast at the wedding that turns into “Satisfied.”
When Angelica describes what happened, the entire show rewinds, and we see the scenes of Hamilton and Eliza’s meeting play out again from Angelica’s perspective.
