Yeah, there's a reason Hamilton is the most acclaimed musical of the last... what, 2 decades at least, right? Fun fact, Jonathon Groff was born in my city of Lancaster, Pennsylvania and nobody will ever shut the fuck up about it. It's kind of wild how much people here talk about him. And yeah, he's fantastic. Somehow despite only being in the musical for probably a total of 15 minutes at the absolute maximum, he manages to absolutely steal the show in a way that can only be topped by Daveed Diggs (who coincidentally is ALSO one of the remaining songs hmmmm). In the context of the musical, You'll Be Back comes out of nowhere, drastically changing both the tone and genre the rest of it was going for and giving us one of the most hilarious moments of the entire show. Groff has an excellent voice and absolutely nails the comedic portrayal of King George at the same time. King George comes across as a larger than life cartoon villain, giving the audience and other characters what seems like a love song. A love song in which he threatens to slaughter thousands in a war as a way of regaining America's love. I mean, this song, like every other Hamilton song, has already been discussed to death, and I'm sure its placement can't be that big of a surprise, because this is just one of the best villain songs to ever come off the stage.
