HAMILTON brought to a nine-year-old girl for her birthday

Hamilton is a tremendously successful and still extremely expensive musical. The first years on stage,  people could pay up to 3.000 dollars for a seat. But why?

The lucky ones who have been able to afford a ticket or have been given one as a very special present may feel as disappointed as the nine-year-old girl who was part of John Krassinski's new online show a few days ago. The huge difference is that she could talk to Lin-Manuel Miranda and had the whole cast of actors singing her favourite song: "Alexander Hamilton", which you will be able to listen to if you go to minute 8.30 of the video below.

 It was such an amazing event that the video has got millions of views in few days and articles have been written in newspapers around the world about that outstanding moment.

They were using Zoom and this is how they look like. We can experiment next week but will have to split the class in two, otherwise  there will be too many people singing at a time😊.

As I am writing, I am being told that app is not safe at all. So forget about what I have just said.
