As someone who’s never seen Hamilton, I can’t fully fathom how you hardcore theatre kids are feeling in the midst of the current Alexander come back to sleep TikTok trend. I’m loving it but you guys must be fully buzzed right now.
You will absolutely know what I’m talking about because it seems half the female TikTok population has dug out the rogue pair of pantaloons they keep in the attic as well as an eyebrow pencil to craft a makeshift goatee. It’s equal parts unhinged as it is genius and I can’t stop watching.
But for the non-theatre kids, the sound is taken from the song Best of Wives and Best of Women by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Phillipa Soo. It was recorded in 2015 for the musical production of Hamilton, a performance which follows Alexander Hamilton’s life and his involvement in the American Revolutionary War.
These are the absolute best Hamiltons from the Alexander come back to sleep trend that TikTok has to offer.
Alexander if he was a cat

The creativity in this one is golden. And the physics of getting that book down so steady? Hamilton would be proud.
Full costume final boss

Those shoes… where did she get them from? And the wig as well? I need to know if this whole ensemble was already under her bed or if it was bought for the Alexander come back to sleep TikTok trend. Either way, the timing on the scroll drop was impeccable.
I KNOW

Brooke perfected “I know” whilst climbing out a dog flap (?), no arguments. I was fully captivated but some people noticed the sheer size of the flap, commenting “HOW BIG IS YOUR DOG??!!”
I don’t wanna know what Hamilton was actually doing that night
@kaykayd68 I think I’m funny #fyp #viral #alexanderhamilton #hamilton #hamiltonmusical

This one brought possibilities into my head that I’d rather have ignored.

Whoever’s idea it was to straddle the sofa like that… poetic.
Lowkey a bit scared of this Hamilton

Mastered the crazy eyes – the outfit, not so much. Although I appreciate the mock shirt effort via a bath towel.
Exceptional use of a Ring doorbell
@boonza_1 I couldn’t resist, i had to put my costume to use

Costume?! Why do you already own this AND a candelabra?
For once, I’m not mad that the guys got involved
@goofy.jayyy As promised!
Absolute cinema from Jay, but he does look like the grandma from Little Red Riding Hood. I literally watched this one on repeat though.
If Alexander was a seafarer

Starting to become numb to the amount of you who pre-own lanterns.
This duet with the lamp as a paid actor
@thegang945 Alexander come back to sleep….

Again: Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton or grandma who gets eaten by wolf?
It wouldn’t be a trend if Brooke and Jess didn’t get involved

Just missing Jess as Eliza.
A rare glimpse of the wife’s POV

Everyone is sleeping on the wife’s part!

She’s playing both roles?! Brenton’s being slept on here.
You know what, the creativity makes this one

The bath is an underrated escape route. But how did she own a wig and neck tie but not a lamp?
