How about genderbent Hamilton? Or just an all female Hamilton, I’d totally be down for that. As much as I love that show, I do wish there were more female characters, since the only main women are Angelica and Eliza, (and possibly Peggy and Maria, but they aren’t quite as big of a part of the story as Angelica and Eliza are.)

It’s only a matter of time…

I completely agree, though. The women who are in the play are wonderful, nuanced, fully realized female characters that are actually key players in the story rather than props for the men to use and be characterized by. It’s great. But, like…I still want to see women outside of the lover/wife/girlfriend/mistress roles. I want women who aren’t talked about by way of their relation to the protagonist. I want women who FIGHT and LEAD and DEBATE and CONQUER.

I want a female narrator in the musical who is never played for sexy laughs, who gets to be a force driving the story instead of just standing to the sides singing about it. I want a poor, immigrant, probably-queer woman to rise above her circumstances thanks to intelligence and determination and ambition that she isn’t ashamed of. I want a female president and a Queen that no one defines by their gender. I want young women who get to go out drinking and railing against the system. I want girls who pick up their guns and fight for their beliefs. I want a boy to be the one left helpless by love for once. And a boy to be floored and fall for a woman’s intelligence. I even kind of want a boy to be the temptation/home-wrecker/victim of bad marriage. These would be pleasant changes.

Give me Lady Hamilton or give me death, basically. Give me a woman who screams obscenities and gets too excited to keep her mouth shut. Give me another woman who has learned that the world will like her better if she talks less and smiles more. Give me the most powerful, respectable, rational, loved character being a woman that everyone looks up to and needs to impress – a female General in war at all! Give me a girl gang of revolutionaries who turn into the most iconic figures in our nation’s history.

Ahh, here is a project that snowballed out of control. I only wanted to draw Hamilton on the mario super star (he’s non-stop, geddit? geddit?), but then decided to turn the whole show into a SNES video game cause I’m crazy like that. There’s four parts to this and I’ll post one a day (I’m still tweaking the ends). 

Part 1 of 4: Please click on the pics for descriptions/mission for each game.

edit: if the captions are not working (thanks tumblr), here they are:

  • Start Page
  • Eye of the Hurricane: Help Hamilton escape the hurricane but make sure he collects his books along the way!
  • Cut Scene: New York bound
  • BATTLE! Farmer Refuted: Oh my god, tear that dude apart. Help Hamilton call for a revolution in this screaming match against Samuel Seabury!
  • Cut Scene: Rise up!
  • Here Comes the General: Thirty-two thousand troops are in New York harbour! Fight your way across as George Washington. Watch out for the incoming BOOM!!!
  • Yo Let’s Steal their Cannons: Race against time with Hamilton and Hercules Mulligan (interchangeable leads) and steal all the British cannons before dawn!
  • Winter Ball of 1780, Level 1: Grind to the rhythm as Eliza Schuyler. Follow the steps correctly to help her dance her way across the hall to meet the handsome Mr. Hamilton!
  • Rewind!!! Winter Ball of 1780, Level 2: Uh-oh! Do you remember that night? Retrace all your steps and dance again as Angelica Schuyler.
  • Save page
