Hamilton: An American Musical Quarterly Challenge
September 15, 2020 - December 14, 2020



Since first hitting the stage in 2015, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton: An American Musical has become a major pop culture phenomenon. The hip-hop musical about American founding father Alexander Hamilton has captivated audiences and aspiring audience members alike.

Now it's on Disney+!!
The filmed version of the original Broadway production combines the best elements of live theater, film and streaming. "Hamilton” is the story of America then, told by America now. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway, “Hamilton” has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theatre—a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education. Filmed at The Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway in June of 2016, the film transports its audience into the world of the Broadway show in a uniquely intimate way.
