On this significant election day, we’re not just choosing a leader for the next four to eight years; we’re casting votes for the future of our democracy. Who better to express this sentiment through their art than the cast of Hamilton? A group of talented performers, who have portrayed Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton in various touring productions, collaborated to create a heartfelt rendition of “Dear Theodosia,” a song that encapsulates the hopes of two fathers striving to build a brighter future for their children.
Today, as I watched these nine incredible voices deliver this emotional performance over Zoom, I couldn’t help but shed tears. In the musical, Burr and Hamilton sing to their children, Theodosia and Philip, pledging to “fight for you” and “make it right for you,” dedicating themselves to improving the world for the next generation.
The cast shared a poignant message on social media: “Today, we vote for the next generation as well as our own. You will come of age with our young nation. We WILL make it right for you. #Vote for our future.” They encouraged viewers to check out IWillVote.com, a helpful site for locating polling places. The Hamilton cast has been actively supporting the Biden campaign and urging everyone to vote. If you appreciate Hamilton, you inherently believe in democracy, so if you think you’re not “into politics,” but love belting out “The Room Where It Happens,” I have news for you—you absolutely are engaged in politics.
In the performance of “Dear Theodosia,” there’s a mention of witnessing our children grow up and “blow us all away” with their accomplishments. From the activist movements led by Parkland survivors to vibrant grassroots initiatives on TikTok, Gen Z is already stepping up to shape the future of our nation—they’re truly blowing us away! It’s our responsibility to vote to ensure they can continue to thrive. Happy election day!
