- Philip's piano lesson is the same melody as the countdown to the duel
- Philip is shot by George Eaker on the count of seven, and seven is where Philip dies during Stay Alive (reprise). Also referenced early, in My Shot (when's it gonna get me/in my sleep/seven feet ahead of me).
- Eliza is one of the only mains who does not use the traditionally fast style of rap in the musical, perhaps because she was literally the one given the most time as she lived to 97
- The way the names in this musical are sung are significant. Each person has their own melody for their name. Hamilton typically sings his name in his own style, seen in the title song, even when it doesn't fit with the current melody (see What'd I Miss). Angelica sings it a different way (see Satisfied). Angelica and Eliza trade each other's melodies to sing each other's names in Take A Break
- "You knock me out, I fall apart" is used figuratively twice. Once during Dear Theodosia in happiness, once during It's Quiet Uptown in grief.
- Three people describe themselves as "helpless" - Eliza, Alexander and Maria Reynolds
- I may not live to see our glory/Let me tell you what I wish I'd known, when I was young and dreamed of glory
- Burr hands the narration off three times, once to Angelica, once to Alexander and once to Eliza (It's Quiet Uptown, Say No To This and Who Lives Who Dies Who Tells Your Story). Having Burr as the narrator for the Hamiltons grieving the loss of their son didn't feel right, so it was given to Angelica. Say No To This is a retelling directly from Alexander's memories. An argument could be made that Eliza is truly the star of the musical so she narrates her own ending. Otherwise, it seems to be that Burr is the narrator, knowing full well how this will end but powerless to stop it.
- Washington only raps when he's frustrated
- Not a coincidence that Burr's line "fools who run their mouths off wind up dead" is directly followed by Laurens introducing himself
- My Shot's line "Is it like a beat without a melody" echoes The World Was Wide Enough, where there literally is Hamilton singing with no accompanying music
- Peggy is never mentioned again after "Helpless"
- In Hamilton's pleading to Eliza during It's Quiet Uptown, he is, for the first time in the play, putting himself in her position, figuratively and musically. He is singing her past melody as opposed to his own. He uses her "look around" melody as well, in an effort to connect with her.
-that's it bye
