BroadwayWorld has all the clues from the category. How well would you have done?

$200 : In the show, this rival prophetically warns Hamilton, "Talk less, smile more. Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for. You wanna get ahead? Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead." He was right.
