Right before Hamilton made it's way to Disney+, Lin-Manuel explained why this moment is so important - "heart-stopping," in fact. Some fans think the gasp symbolizes her death (the real Eliza Hamilton died at 97 years old, outliving the other characters from the show) others feel as though she gasps after realizing that she did, indeed, tell her husband's story. It's unclear exactly what Eliza sees, which leaves plenty of room for interpretation.
But here comes the point in question: Once Alexander leaves, Eliza gasps in horror (or so it seems) with tears streaming down her face.
It's only a matter of time." Then Alexander (played by Lin-Manuel Miranda) takes his wife's hand and guides her to the edge of the stage. After sharing all the ways she's honoring her late husband's legacy, she delivers the final line of the show, "I can't wait to see you again. Ironically enough, the most poignant moment in Hamilton, a show full of fast-talking raps, songs, and dialogue - happens when nothing is said at all.Īt the very end of the show, the entire cast takes the stage to perform "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story," which is followed by a heart-wrenching monologue by Eliza Hamilton (played by Phillipa Soo).
