See what all the fuss is about the Broadway musical Hamilton. This film version features the original Broadway cast! You are welcome to sing along! Hamilton narrates Alexander Hamilton's life in two acts, and details among other things his involvement in the American Revolutionary War as an aide-de-camp to George Washington, his marriage to Eliza Schuyler, his career as a lawyer and Secretary of the Treasury, and his interactions with Aaron Burr (the main narrator for most of the musical), which culminates in their duel that ends Hamilton's life. What makes this musical so wonderful is the smart use of language and rap along with lyrical songs to introduce today's Americans to the history of our democracy. This event is a part of the Bridgeport Public Library America's 250th Celebration series of programs. #America250
