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!   \nNaturally\, 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.

SUMMARY:Kristin Chenoweth - Multi-Talented Performer With  A Compassionate Heart
DESCRIPTION:Kristin Chenoweth is one of the most talented performers in America. She is also one of the nicest people ever to become a major star in show business. Her life story is as unexpected as her talent is overwhelming. \nLeo Durocher famously said “Nice guys finish last. He obviously never heard of Kristin Chenoweth. CLICK HERE to read about Kristin’s charity. \n \nKristin Chenoweth is a Tony award-winning Broadway star whose name on a marquee sells a lot of tickets. On television\, \nKristen Chenoweth West Wing \nshe has won raves and an Emmy award with roles as diverse as a lovesick waitress and a presidential press advisor. Her recordings have been enormously popular and her concerts have sold out in both the USA and Europe. Kristin Chenoweth singing voice has been referred to by some as “the voice of the century.” She can bring down the house with a Broadway show tune\, but also sing pop\, Opera\, country\, and pretty much any style of music you can name. While the movies have not been as successful a medium for her\, she has appeared in a number of good films and her comic timing\, wacky voice and stunning good looks would seem to suggest that movie success is just a matter of time. \nOn a personal level\, Kristin Chenoweth is a very compassionate Christian who is proud and open when it comes to discussing her faith. She’s been a lightning rod for some conservative Christians because she openly favors gay marriage and argues against hatred\, intolerance\, or bigotry of any kind. She also has a reputation for being one of the kindest and most considerate people in the entertainment business. On several occasions\, although we’ve never met\, she has gone out of her way to do favors for me that I have reinforced her reputation for being one of the most genuine stars working today. \nIn this multimedia presentation you will be dazzled by her talent\, fascinated by her life story\, and inspired  by her personality. She is a woman to admire! \n  \n  \n
