Hamilton The Musical Trip

"I am not throwing away my shot" 

We certainly didn't and when we heard Hamilton was in Manchester we made sure we got tickets. 

Hamilton is something we study in Key Stage 4 Performing Arts but is also loved by many other students. This revolutionary musical is well known for its Rap and Hip Hop which means it is accessible for young people. 

Lead Teacher of Drama, Miss Howell, said, "Our students were so excited to see this and the buzz was electric as we were all going to be "In the room where it happens!""

The biographical musical, which we saw at the Palace Theatre, covers the life of American Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton. It's based on Ron Chernow's biography and features a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and show tunes. It tells the story of Hamilton's involvement in the American Revolution, his relationship with George Washington, and his role in shaping the political history of the early United States.

Miss Howell continued, "I want to thank all the staff that helped out and made the trip happen."

"The biggest thanks needs to go to our students, what amazing students we have. They all understand theatre etiquette and this was noticed by members of the public, as they commented on how well behaved they all were.  So, the biggest thanks goes to them for their impeccable behaviour and an enjoyable evening."
