“Revolution and Revelation: the Musical 'Hamilton' on Broadway”

Associate Professor of Theater and musical theater scholar Mary Jo Lodge discusses her work in her new book, “Dueling Grounds: Revolution and Revelation in Musical Hamilton,” which she co-edited with musicology Professor Paul R. Laird from the the University of Kansas, which was published in May of 2021 by Oxford University Press. The mega-hit Hamilton considers race, class, rap and history in new and exciting ways, and Lodge, who authored several chapters in the volume alongside essays on the Lin-Manuel Miranda musical by leading scholars from around the world in disciplines ranging from economics to ethnomusicology to dance and design, will discuss Hamilton, History and Heritage.
