Bechdel Test Movie List

Angelica, Eliza and Peggy talk about The Revolution during the song “The Schuyler Sisters.” Angelica and Eliza also talk about going away for the summer during the song “Take A Break.”

Even when the sisters were talking about the revolution, they were talking about finding good husbands. Take a break also is a song that mostly talks to Hamilton who is a man (Eliza's hubsand), Eliza is asking him to take a break and come with her.

I agree with Sara. The song "the schuyler sisters" is all about finding a husband, and the song "take a break" is not Eliza and Aneglica talking to each other it is them both talking to Alexander therefore does not qualify under the second rule of the test.

The song "Schuyler Sisters" begins with a conversation about their father. "Daddy says to be home by sundown/Daddy doesn't need to know/ Daddy says never go downtown..." And then later, "It's bad enough Daddy wants to go to war..." And then, "Angelica remind me what we're looking for" followed by a chorus of men asserting, "She's looking for me!" And Angelica confirms, "I'm looking for a mind at work." And THEN she says "I've been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine/so MEN SAY that I'm intense or I'm insane." How on Earth does this pass the test?

The talk about revolution is to set up the scene, it's not a dialogue. Everything else after relates to Alexander Hamilton.

As much as I love this musical, I have to admit that unfortunately it failed the test

Breaks the third rule.
