A Rev250 Program

featuring Rick Feingold

It is an entertaining and informative look at Hamilton—the play and the revolutionary who inspired it.

Hamilton, a ground-breaking musical featuring Black and Latino actors playing the founding fathers, won 11 Tony awards. Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant who became the first Secretary of the Treasury and founded the U.S. financial system, died at the hands of Vice President Aaron Burr upon the dueling grounds in Weehawken, NJ.

Learn about the history behind the characters in this fun presentation that includes the Hamilton mix-tape performance at the White House and music from the Broadway production.
