Broadway Smash 'Hamilton' Inspires Disney Fan Art and Book Reports About the Musical
Everyone’s buzzing about "Hamilton," the Broadway musical about forefather Alexander Hamilton. With the buzz comes conceptual fan art in the form of a Disney movie, a “book report” on Hamilton written strictly with knowledge learned at the performance and more.

But the spotlight wasn't hers alone; she shared it with a massive, 25-foot statue of King Agamemnon and the equally enormous vision of the company's artistic director, Michel Beaulac.
