SUMMARY:Hamilton: The Man\, Miranda And The Musical
DESCRIPTION:Who could have predicted that an 818 page biography of America’s first secretary of the treasury\, Alexander Hamilton\, would become one of the biggest Broadway smashes of all time? Yet this fascinating blend of history and hip-hop\, political debate and show tunes has not only swept the Tony awards\, but played to standing room only audiences  for over a year!  Naturally\, as a historian who lives for Broadway\, I couldn’t wait to be in the audience. And I can tell you that the show more than lives up to its hype. This is an amazing work of genius – a combination of history\, music\, performance and thought-provoking content that will long be considered a hallmark in the history of Broadway. \n Alexander Hamilton: The Man\, The Writer\, The Musical\n In this brand-new\, fast-paced and fascinating multimedia presentation\, I will offer audiences  a mini biography of the real Alexander Hamilton and his place in American history. Then we will look at the life and work of Lin-Manuel Miranda\, the genius who created and starred in Hamilton. \nFinally\, we will look at the musical itself. I’ll play excerpts from the songs\, explain the narrative structure and help you have a greater appreciation  for the show\, whether you’ve seen it a dozen times already or are seeing it for the first time!

SUMMARY:Finding Neverland
DESCRIPTION:I simply LOVE talking about Broadway. And when I was (somewhat reluctantly) taken to see “Finding Neverland”  in New York\, I’ll admit my expectations were not high.  And was I ever wrong! The show was powerful and moving in very unexpected ways. It is my pleasure to present a unique multimedia presentation on both the show and the strange\, complex and controversial true story on which it is based. \n“Finding Neverland” is the rich and poignant story of how J.M. Barrie came to write “Peter Pan.” But make no mistake – this is not a children’s story. It is a deep and fascinating look at the process of creation\, invention and a man’s fight to reclaim himself. The music is powerful and the staging is imaginative – no wonder Broadway loved “Finding Neverland!”
