Hamilton: Act 1: The Story of Tonight (Reprise) Summary & Analysis

Summary
Analysis
Hamilton and his friends celebrate his new marriage with another round of drinks. Burr shows up halfway through the song, and the guys call him out on his crush on Theodosia, the wife of a British officer. Burr explains that he is waiting to consummate the relationship until it is legal.
Hamilton’s friend group again shows that political change is formed in personal relationships and collaborations. And whereas Hamilton acts on every impulse, Burr is timider, patient almost to a fault.
