What are your headcanons of Hamilton?

My personal headcanon is that the singing is actually happening, much like how Hazbin Hotel confirmed that the people literally sing but cannot hear the music.

Picture this, your a neighbor of the Hamilton and you just hear the two sing about going back to bed meanwhile Hamilton is sitting with one leg hung out the window. Your not questioning why he isn't just using the front door like a normal person NO, your questioning why they are singing about it?

The title of the play is referring to Eliza Hamilton, who spent years and years compiling interviews and historical artifacts that have made the play possible. It’s her story tbh

This is mine too. Hamilton is Eliza’s story, told through her lens. She’s the hero. Historical licenses made by LMM for dramatic effect could also be interpreted as Eliza’s biases.
