They all appeared in the empty Richard Rodgers theater.

"Ok everyone sit down and I've got snacks for days, so take some." Kyleigh said to the big group. "Is there any Mac and cheese?" Thomas obviously asks. "I knew you love it, so yes here it is." She replied.

An announcement in the theater went off.

"Please turn off all cell phones and please no getting up during this performance it's distracts everyone. Have a great time watching the show. This is also 2 hours and 45 minutes, so there will be an intermission were you can get more snacks and use the bathroom. Now presenting Hamilton: An American Musical"

Aaron Burr

How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore

"Thanks for the compliments Aaron."

And a Scotsman dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot
In the Caribbean by providence impoverished
In squalor grow up to be a hero and a scholar

John Laurens

The ten-dollar founding father without a father

"You didn't have a father, mon ami?"

"No I didn't, also that's why you said that earlier Kyleigh?"

"Yeah"

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

"F-fourteen" said Thomas surprised.

"Wow pa"

Thomas Jefferson

And everyday while slaves were being slaughtered or carted away
Across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up
Inside,he was longing for something to be a part of
The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter

James Madison

Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned
Our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain
Put a pencil to his temple, connected to his brain
And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain

Aaron Burr

Well, the word got around, they said, this kid is insane, man

"They are right about him being insane." Thomas whispered to James

Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
Get your education, don't forget from whence you came
And the world gonna know your name
What's your name,man?
  
Alexander Hamilton

At this moment Kyleigh started to whisper the lyrics.

Alexander Hamilton
My name is Alexander Hamilton
And there's a million things I haven't done

"What are you hinting at Alex?" Herc said.

Alex leaned down into his seat from embarrassment.

But just you wait, just you wait

Eliza

When he was ten father split, full of it, debt-ridden
Two years later, see Alex and his mother bed-ridden
Half-dead sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick

Company

And Alex got better but his mother went quick

"I'm sorry that your parents weren't there for you Alex." Angelica said.
