But one thing that has hit me harder than ever before is Phillipa Soo's mesmerizing performance as Eliza.
Phillipa Soo's single tear in "It's Quiet Uptown" that emotionally wrecked me. That's it. That is the tweet #Hamilton #HamilFilm
From the absolutely flawless way she portrays Eliza's desires in "Helpless" to her heartbreak in "Burn," it's simply iconic.
Also, I don't think I've ever been so moved by moments in a musical as I was watching Eliza's scream after Philip's death and her final gasp at the end.
Like me, the rest of the internet feels the same way about Phillipa's performance as Eliza and how they can't stop thinking about it. Here are some of the best reactions:

just a reminder that the gasp eliza makes at the end of βwho lives, who dies, who tells your storyβ is her seeing the audience and realizing that her husbandβs story was carried on #Hamilton

If you ever ask me to explain the meaning of the word "sublime," I will point you to @Phillipasoo's performance in the 90 seconds of our show. #Hamilfilm
