Hamilton

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical about Alexander Hamilton has become a cultural touchstone, a towering powerhouse of entertainment that has tilted Broadway on its ear. It came to Disney+, and that was fantastic (Brook has seen it at least three times there), but now you can see the original cast on the big screen! LMM, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Leslie Odom Jr, Daveed Diggs, Philippa Soo, Jonathan Groff, and more bring this story of history far-more-entertaining-than-it-really-was (but close enough) to life. You’ll be singing the songs for weeks (or maybe months). It has a 98% Tomatometer  and a 99% Popcornmeter on Rotten Tomatoes.

Friday and Sunday will be Sing-a-long nights! No lyrics on the screen, but the audience is welcome (and encouraged) to sing along.
