The Schuyler Sisters and the Hamilton Musical
Tuesday, June 16, 2020
6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Presented by Rick Feingold
Broadway is closed until further notice, but you can see the Hamilton Musical on Disney+ on July 3, 2020. Join us, from home on Zoom, to see what the Hamilton Musical is all about on Tuesday, June 16, 2020, at 6:00 pm.
Four daughters of wealthy General Philip Schuyler ran away to elope with rich men. But Elizabeth Schuyler married Alexander Hamilton, a penniless, orphan, immigrant for love. We will read the love letters Hamilton sent to Eliza during their courtship, then meet two other women—Angelica Schuyler Church and Maria Reynolds—who were after Alexander. This program includes eight songs from Hamilton, An American Musical including The Schuyler Sisters, Helpless, Satisfied, and It’s Quiet Uptown.
Rick Feingold teaches American Business History at Bergen Community College and holds a degree in History from Rutgers University. This program is free for participants and paid for by The Friends of the Butler Public Library.
