Jasmine's POV
                          
Yeah this chapter is inaccurate. For the sake of the story, Hamilton was first on Broadway on August 6th. Sorry if that annoys anyone.
                          
T/w a swear. That's it.
                          
"Who tells your story?"
                          
We sang the last note perfectly. Happy tears clouded my vision as the audience burst into thunderous applause. We did it! We preformed on Broadway! I wrapped my arms around Ant's neck and pulled him into a deep kiss.
                          
I forgot that anyone else was there. The noise of the crowd seemed distant and soon, it was just Ant holding me tightly. He was the only thing keeping me from melting into a puddle on the floor. We split apart after about minute.
                          
"GIVE IT UP FOR JANTHONY!!!" Lin yelled to the crowd. Ant and I laughed through our tears as the cheering got louder. We all took our bows and followed the rest of the cast off the stage.
                          
Backstage, everyone seemed to be crying and congratulating each other. Ant had his arm around my waist, holding me close to his side.
                          
"GOOD JOB EVERYONE!!!" Lin yelled. The cast cheered loudly. "GET CHANGED AND MEET BACK HERE IN TEN MINUTES!!"
                          
Ant led me to my dressing room then continued down to his.
                          
"WE DID IT!!" Pippa yelled when she walked in. Tears were still steaming down her cheeks. Renée followed in closely behind her. Pippa, Renée and I had soon calmed down enough to change out of our costumes and have a normal conversation.
                          
"I was so scared during the opening song that I was drinking my own tears." Pippa said. Renée and I laughed.
                          
"I was too dazed to cry." Renée admitted.
                          
"Ant and I were practically sobbing." I said, sending us into giggles.
                          
"Whatcha ladies laughin' at?" Oak asked, bounding into our dressing room. Daveed and Ant followed closely behind. Pippa and Renée laughed silently when they saw tear stains on Oak and Ant's cheeks.
                          
"Shut up!" Ant said, glaring at them before sliding his arm around my waist and sitting next to me on our couch. I realized that Daveed hadn't spoken since the performance ended. He was sitting on a chair, seemingly frozen, his eyes were open wide.
                          
"YO DAVEED!!" Oak yelled.
                          
"I heard H-" Daveed mumbled, not finishing his sentence. We laughed at him.
                          
"Okay..." Pippa said. We chatted for a few minutes before getting up and heading to a room that we sat in during performances when we weren't on stage. Groff, Thayne, and Lin were coloring at the table and everyone else was talking excitedly around them. They stopped when we walked in.
                          
"Okay!" Lin said while stepping up on the table. He still hadn't changed out of his Alexander Hamilton costume. Lin gave a long empowering speech that ended with a beautiful sonnet.
                          
"...This show is proof that history remembers
We live through times when hate and fear seem stronger
We rise and fall and light from dying embers
Remembrances that hope and love lasts longer
And love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love
Cannot be killed or swept aside,
I sing Vanessa's symphony, Eliza tells her story
Now fill the world with music love and pride..." (Yeah this is his Tony speech... I REALLY didn't want to come up with my own.)
                          
He sounded so passionate that tears threatened to spill again.
                          
"Thank you." He said, his voice cracking slightly. Chris patted Lin's back as he stepped off the table.
