MISSING BROADWAY? LOVE HAMILTON? JOIN US! AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE SMASH HIT

Want to know more about this smash hit musical streaming on Disney®+? Join us for in-depth look at this hit show in a free virtual session with Dr. Broadway, musical theatre historian, on Monday, October 26. From its 2015 off-Broadway premiere, HAMILTON has had the theatre world on its feet in uproarious applause, but creator Lin-Manuel Miranda could hardly consider it an overnight success. He worked for nearly a decade on the piece, always uncertain how audiences would receive his unconventional take on the Founding Fathers. Miranda needn't have worried. Like the lyric in his show, HAMILTON continues to "passionately smash every expectation." In this free Zoom session, we'll discuss the development of the Broadway mega-hit and learn how it transitioned from an 800+ page biography by Pulitzer Prize-winner Ron Chernow into an 11-time Tony Award winner that seems destined to run forever. There are two sessions, an all ages session and a student session that gives students the opportunity to explore a bit deeper.

This is a general session for fans of all ages

Student Session - Monday, October 26 at 5pm
