that bit at the end of non-stop where all the major act one songs get reprised and the whole company does the thing where they stop singing their individual parts and harmonise on ‘history has its eyes on you’ with no music and then hamilton sings a reprise of my shot + alexander hamilton and it ends on him yelling “I AM NOT THROWING AWAY MY SHOT!” might be the most satisfying piece of theatre music to ever be written

Okay, for serious.

The first time I listened to the album and all the overlapping act 1 themes were interweaving seamlessly and then that happens I seriously got teary-eyed because I was just so amazed to be living at the same time as such brilliance.

which sounds corny but i don’t fucking care.

Dude, Lin-Manuel is REEEEEALLY GOOD at knowing when and how to repeat thematic material. See: “Ten Duel Commandments”/the “un, deux, trois” melody of Phillip’s, for one. It’s probably what helps keep such a massive show together. With that much music, you’ve gotta tie it together.
