On a brand new episode of Based on a True Story with Wren and Cam…
This episode covers Hamilton (2020). "Hamilton" is the story of America then, told by America now. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and show tunes, "Hamilton" has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theater--a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education. Captured at the Richard Rodgers Theater on Broadway in June 2016, the film transports its audience into the world of the Broadway show in a uniquely intimate way.
They talk spotlight moments, film and stage techniques, and fact vs. fiction. Enjoy this Tony-winning musical; you can stream the film on Disney+.
