Hamilton Is Not Throwing Away its Shot
By Courtney Wentz | Observer Contributor
Hamilton, a musical written by Lin-Manuel Miranda and produced by Jeffrey Seller, is the most popular, unique, and important show currently on Broadway.
Hamilton is about the life of founding father, Alexander Hamilton, told in the point of view of the man who shot him, Aaron Burr, with the exception of one song.
Victoria Chadbourne, raised in Phillipston, is now an Arts and Entertainment Management major at Dean College in Franklin, MA, where she has stage managed three shows, was an assistant for four, and has been in ten shows. Chadbourne has been passionate about musicals all her life and had some comments to make about the impact Hamilton has on the audience. Chadbourne said, “The music is diverse enough that everyone could find a song they like, the story is incredible, and you might just learn something without having to read a 600 page book.”
