Set against original musical collaborations by Anthony Fedorov and other artists, this inspirational new musical explores true stories of social justice, gender identity, race, immigration, and economic inequalities within the fabric of the American experience. #Hash(tag) America began as a concept album entitled Calling On You (co-produced by Anthony Fedorov and Grammy Award-winner Jeeve Ducornet) from a successfully funded 2016 Kickstarter campaign. Los Angeles will be treated to a concert version of the show first performed to a rousing audience and critical response at New York’s The Green Room 42. — MORE— AT CATALINA JAZZ CLUB IN HOLLYWOOD [Page 2] Joining Fedorov (American Idol, Rent), Isa Briones (Star Trek: Picard, Hamilton), and Eden Espinosa (Falsettos, Wicked, Rent) will be Kyle Carter (The Lion King, In the Heights), Christina Sajous (SpongeBob SquarePants, Spiderman, American Idiot), and Heath Saunders (Alice By Heart, Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert on FOX).

  • Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton to Be Staged at the Public Theater | Playbill
    NEWS Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton to Be Staged at the Public Theater BY ADAM HETRICK MAR 06, 2014 Hamilton, the new musical by Tony Award-winning In the Heights star and creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, which explores the life of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, will premiere as part of the Public Theater's 2014-15 season. Lin-Manuel Miranda (Photo by Corey Hayes) Formerly titled Hamilton Mixtape, the new musical features Miranda in the title role, under the direction of Tony Award-nominated In the Heights director Thomas Kail. Performances are scheduled to begin Jan. 20, 2015, for a run through Feb. 22. The Public Theater engagement is supported by Jeffrey Seller, Sander Jacobs and Jill Furman, all of whom helped usher Miranda's In the Heights to Broadway in 2008. Inspired by the book "Alexander Hamilton" by Ron Chernow, the musical incorporates historial gures such as George Washington, Aaron Burr, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson. Miranda previously performed a song from Hamilton for President Obama and the First Family at the White House in 2009. "Lin-Manuel Miranda is a marvel, but nothing could have prepared us for the astonishing achievement of Hamilton," Public Theater artistic director Oskar Eustis said in a statement. "Alexander Hamilton was born in the West Indies, the only Founding Father who was an immigrant, and Lin's genius is to tell the story of the birth of the United States as an immigrant's story. The energy, the passion, joy, tragedy, and raw intelligence of this show are stunning." Miranda is the Tony and Grammy Award-winning composer-lyricist of In the Heights.
