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. The presenter will give a multimedia presentation combining Hamilton’s biography with excerpts from the show to demonstrate its richness and its place among Broadway musicals. It will fit well into the time we commemorate the American Revolution. And yes, you may want to (quietly) sing along.

Cosponsored by the Friends of the Reston Regional Library.
