Hamilton: Man And Music

This is an encore recording of one of the most popular webinars that LLI of Virginia Tech has ever offered. Dan Sherman captivates us with history you may never have learned, lyrics and music from the Broadway show and interesting commentary along the way.

Alexander Hamilton has always been known as a central player in America’s early history, but the smash Broadway musical Hamilton has focused renewed attention on this fascinating individual. This presentation combines Hamilton’s biography with excerpts from the show to demonstrate its richness and its place among Broadway musicals. Access to the recording will be available if you can't join us at the scheduled time.
