"If it takes fighting a war for us to meet it will have been worth it" Maybe that is why I introduce him to Eliza I'm the one who has to social climb for oneĪnd the gossip in New York City is insidious I'm a girl in a world in which my only job is to marry rich I wanna take him far away from this place He's a bit of a flirt, but I'm 'a give it a chance So this is what it feels like to match wits with someone at your levelĪ bit of a posture, it's a bit of a stance There's a million things I haven't done but, just you wait, just you wait" "You strike me as a woman who has never been satisfied" Still not, err, satisfied? Check out the full lyrics to the song below.

Angelica was more Hamilton's counterpart than Eliza." Chernow wrote that they had a "friendship of unusual ardor," adding, "It seems plausible that Hamilton would have proposed to Angelica, not to Eliza, if the older sister had been eligible. However, that didn't stop a love triangle from forming and blossoming through "buoyant and flirtatious" letters. If it's any consolation, the real Angelica was already married to John Church when she met Hamilton, according to Alexander Hamilton, Ron Chernow's text that inspired the musical. My hope is that the people who see this movie will recognize that generosity in letting go." Goldsberry, who originated the part when Hamilton premiered off-Broadway in 2015, further explained, "It’s this woman who, within one song, has to fall madly in love and give it up for another, more important love.

The heart-tugging lyrics, which weave in and out of Angelica's toast at her sister's wedding, take you through her inner monologue as she's torn between pursuing her instantaneous attraction to Hamilton and carrying on their penetrating banter-or sending him Eliza's way. In "Satisfied," Angelica gets to tell her side of the story about the night she introduces Alexander to his sister-one that she says she "just might regret for the rest of my days." For viewers, the five-and-a-half minute Act 1 song and its complex verses and staging seem to bend all the linear Broadway storytelling rules, as we watch the set spin in reverse and hear "rewind, rewind,” in an eerie autotune interrupt Alexander and Eliza's wedding.įrom there, "Satisfied" borrows the sound of the previous number, " Helpless," which is sweetly told from Eliza's perspective as she recounts the first moment she locks eyes with Hamilton.
