Hamilton Clip
Every great musical needs one great song about unrequited love, andHamiltondelivers in spades with “Satisfied,” one of the most popular songs from the Tony-winning Broadway sensation. Performed with raw power by Renée Elise Goldsberry, the R&B ballad peels back Angelica Schuyler’s facade as she gives a toast to her sister Eliza and Alexander Hamilton, revealing a different perspective of the fateful night when they all met.
The “rewind” part hits even harder in this filmed version, as directorThomas Kailswitches from close-ups to birds eye view shots to give an even more surreal vision of an already stunning piece of staging. Sadly, the clip cuts off before we can get to the real meat of the song (and before we can get to Goldsberry’s rapidfire rapping), but it’s a nice teaser for what’s to come and the immersive filming style that will make this version ofHamiltonso unique.
