#EduHam is a series of HAMILTON Wednesday matinees made available to New York City schools with a high concentration of students from low-income families for the ticket price of only $10. This educational partnership, made possible through a $1.46 million grant by The Rockefeller Foundation, is not only providing 20,000 NYC public school students with the opportunity to see HAMILTON on Broadway, but provides educational material by Gilder Lehrman to incorporate material from the musical into the American History curriculum.

On last night's episode of 'The Late Late Show with James Corden,' James Corden and Ben Platt tell the story of a life-long friendship using 9 different sets and 12 carefully curated songs all captured in one take. The performance included songs such as Dolly Parton's '9 to 5,' Adele's 'Hello,' and The Beatles' "With a Little Help from My Friends."
Ben Platt stopped by 'The Late Late Show with James Corden' to talk about his new album 'Sing to Me Instead' and to perform the single 'Older.' During the interview, James asks Platt about the end of his run on Broadway in 'Dear Evan Hansen,' and how he was finally able to let loose after laying very low during the run of production. And Ben explains how a combination of karaoke, Chinese food and Stranger Things was all he needed.
When Lin-Manuel Miranda set out to tell the story of how one person turned the world upside down and changed it forever, did he consider that he, himself was about to accomplish the very same thing-that is-change the world by changing the way we think about education itself?
If we could actually 'rewind' time, some in academia might have chuckled at the very core of the EduHam program, an education program that presupposes that American History students can comprehend and retain complex materials through rap music. Sounds a little insane doesn't it?
