From being a theater nerd, I have always wanted to go to a performance of Hamilton, but unfortunately not everyone has thousands of dollars to dish away for a singular ticket for the show. I think this is a great addition the the Hamilton "franchise" which will give more people the opportunity to see an in depth version of Hamilton without spending thousands of dollars. I had no idea that Hamilton had created an education platform that educates high school students about the revolutionary war. I think that is a really great thing to have because it brings the fantasy of theater into the real world, affecting real people. After reading this article I am also very interested in reading the book about the production of Hamilton and what went into it, because making a hit on Broadway cannot be an easy task. Hopefully this exhibit that is opening in Chicago will help educate people on the past and the production.
