My Dearest Angelica
"Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
creeps in this petty place from day to day" I trust
you'll understand the reference to another Scottish
tragedy without my having to name the play.
They think me Macbeth, and ambition is my folly.
I'm a polymath, pain in the ass, a massive pain.
Madison is Banquo, Jefferson's Macduff, and Birnam Wood is Congress on its way to Dunsinane.

-HAMILTON+ANGELICA-
And there you are, an ocean away
Do you have to live an ocean away?
Thoughts of you subside
Then I get another letter
I cannot put the notion away…

-ELIZA-
Take a break

-ALEXANDER-
I am on my way
-ELIZA-
There’s a little surprise before supper
And it cannot wait

-ALEXANDER-
I’ll be there in just a minute, save my plate

-ELIZA-
Alexander

-ALEXANDER-
Okay, okay

-ELIZA-
Your son is nine years old today
And he has something that he’d like to say
He’s been practicing all day
Philip, take it away

-PHILIP-
Daddy, daddy, look
My name is Philip
I am a poet
I wrote this poem just
To show it
And I just turned nine
You can write rhymes -ALEXANDER-
But you can’t write mine What!
I practice French
And play piano with my mother Uh Huh!

I have a sister, but I want a little brother Ha Okay!

My daddy’s trying to start America’s bank
Un deux trois quatre cinq! Bravo!


-ELIZA-
Take a break

-ALEXANDER-
Hey, our kid is pretty great

-ELIZA-
Run away with us for the summer
Let’s go upstate

-ALEXANDER-
Eliza, I’ve got so much on my plate

-ELIZA-
We can all go stay with my father
There’s a lake I know…

-ALEXANDER-
I know

-ELIZA-
In a nearby park

-ALEXANDER-
I’d love to go

-ELIZA-
You and I can go when the night gets dark…

-ALEXANDER-
I will try to get away

-ANGELICA-
My dearest Alexander
You must get through to Jefferson
Sit down with him and compromise
Don’t stop ‘til you agree
Your fav’rite older sister
Angelica, reminds you
There’s someone in your corner all the way across the sea

In a letter I received from you two weeks ago
I noticed a comma in the middle of a phrase
It changed the meaning. Did you intend this?
One stroke and you’ve consumed my waking days
It says:

-ALEXANDER+ANGELICA-
“My dearest Angelica”

-ANGELICA-
With a comma after “dearest.” You’ve written

-ALEXANDER+ANGELICA-
“My dearest, Angelica.”

-ANGELICA-
Anyway, all this to say
I’m coming home this summer
At my sister’s invitation
I’ll be there with your fam’ly
If you make your way upstate
I know you’re very busy
I know your work’s important
But I’m crossing the ocean and I just can’t wait

-ALEXANDER+ANGELICA-
You won’t be an ocean away
You will only be a moment away…

-ELIZA-
Alexander, come downstairs. Angelica’s arriving today!

-ELIZA-
Angelica!

-ANGELICA-
Eliza!

-ALEXANDER-
The Schuyler sisters!

-ANGELICA-
Alexander

-ALEXANDER-
Hi

-ANGELICA-
It’s good to see your face

-ELIZA-
Angelica, tell this man John Adams spends the summer with his family

-ALEXANDER-
Angelica, tell my wife John Adams doesn’t have a real job anyway

-ANGELICA-
…you’re not joining us? Wait

-ALEXANDER-
I’m afraid I cannot join you upstate

-ANGELICA-
Alexander, I came all this way

-ELIZA-
She came all this way

-ANGELICA-
All this way

-ELIZA AND ANGELICA-
Take a break

-ALEXANDER-
You know I have to get my plan through Congress

-ELIZA+ANGELICA-
Run away with us for the summer
Let’s go upstate

-ALEXANDER-
I lose my job if we don’t get this plan through Congress

-ELIZA+ANGELICA-
We can all go stay with our father

-ELIZA-_____________________________-ANGELICA-
There's a lake I know _____________I know I’ll miss your face

In a nearby park
Screw your courage to
the sticking place
You and I can go
Eliza’s right
Take a break and get away_________Take a break

Run away with us for the
summer
Let's go upstate where ____________Let's go upstate
we can stay

We can all go stay with our
father If you take your time
Look around, look around
At how lucky we are to be________ You will leave your mark
alive right now you will make
your mark
Close your eyes and dream

We can go
When the night gets dark_________When the night gets dark Take a break. Take a break.

-ALEXANDER-
I have to get my plan through Congress
I can’t stop until I get this plan through Congress
