Alex Hamilton – The Man, the Musical and Manhattan

The Long Branch Free Public Library invites you to this exciting virtual program. Please join us on Wednesday, August 12 at 6:30pm via Zoom when Arthur and Susan Zuckerman, owner-operators of Z-Travel and Leisure Tours of New York City, will present an entertaining program of facts and trivia about the people and places populating Hamilton, the smash Broadway musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda.

A cultural phenomenon for the past few years, Hamilton is experiencing a new surge of interest and fans since Disney+ released the excellent movie of the musical in July. Who was Alexander Hamilton? Why is he one of the Founding Fathers of the American Revolution? What inspired Mr. Miranda to create a play about him? Whether you’re a long-time “Hamiltan” or a new one, fans and history buffs will appreciate this lively, light-hearted program. The Zuckermans, authors and radio show hosts, will provide new insights, a view of actual historic locations and a “behind the scenes” look at the real history of Alexander Hamilton’s life and contributions. The program will not involve political discussion, but there may be a few musical surprises.

The Zoom information for participating in the program may be found on our Virtual Event Calendar, located at LongBranchLib.org/calendar.
