Old School Lane Casual Chats: Hamilton

In this episode of Casual Chats, Patricia and special guest Arun Mehta from The Arun Mehta Show discuss about the 2015 Broadway musical Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda. The play is a contemporary telling of the Founding Father Alexander Hamilton featuring a diverse cast of actors and hip-hop music. The play became a massive hit not only for Broadway and musical lovers, but the mainstream audience who gravitated to learning about an obscure man of history in a refreshing way, its take on political storytelling, and its catchy and memorable soundtrack. With Broadway closed due to COVID-19, a recording of Hamilton featuring the original cast premiered on Disney+ on July 3, 2020 in time for Independence Day. What did Arun and Patricia think of the musical? Listen and find out.
