An Introduction to the Politics of Hamilton
Live Zoom
This lecture highlights the ways in which the Broadway, award-winning musical, Hamilton addresses both key moments in our nation’s founding and early political history as well as issues/ themes in modern American politics.
During the lecture, we will address:
1)The politics of the historical figure of Alexander Hamilton offering a brief overview of Hamilton, his life and works.
2)The politics of the historical figure of Hamilton as depicted in the musical addressing how the show's creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda, portrays Hamilton, deviations from the historical record and reasoning behind these artistic choices.
3)The politics of Hamilton, the musical itself exploring how the musical speaks to and interacts with American politics in the 21st century.
Please note that this is a Live Zoom Class and will also be available for OLLI Video On Demand.
