HAMILTON – 60 MINUTES will offer an elongated “director’s cut” with previously unseen material from Charlie Rose’s original report about the unorthodox musical. Based on the life of Alexander Hamilton, the show and its diverse cast are creating waves on Broadway and beyond, while smashing box office records and winning 11 Tony Awards. Graham Messick is the producer. THIS IS A DOUBLE-LENGTH SEGMENT.

THE POPE’S CHOIR – The mission of the oldest choir in the world is to create the sounds of beauty and divinity that accompany the Pope as he says mass or officiates at Vatican events. Charlie Rose meets the members and the maestro of the Pope’s Choir to report on how they achieve their celestial sound. Draggan Mihailovich and Sabina Castelfranco are the producers.

60 MINUTES, the most successful television broadcast in history, began its 47th season in September 2014. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast begun in 1968 is still a hit in 2015, making Nielsen’s Top 10 list nine consecutive weeks in the fall of 2014. Over the 2013-2014 season, 60 MINUTES continued its dominance as the number-one news program, drawing an average of 12.2 million viewers per week – almost twice the audience of its nearest network news magazine competitor and three million viewers ahead of the most-watched daily network evening news broadcast. The average audience for a 60 MINUTES broadcast still dwarfs the biggest audiences drawn by cable news programs.
