Nicholas Christopher News

This Sunday, December 4th, 42 Seven Productions in conjunction with IndieFork and W Times Square will welcome cast members from the revolutionary show HAMILTON for the ninth installment of the hit Sunday night experience, 'Broadway at W.' 

In the latest development of this ongoing battle, the hashtag #BoycottHamilton has been trending for the past six hours. Considering the fact that the musical juggernaut is sold out into next year, coupled with the recent Trump Cup 'boycott,' (which involves customers providing 'Trump' as their name when purchasing a drink at Starbucks), it remains unclear if the Trump supporters who instigated the hashtag understand how a boycott works.

In a show of solidarity and support for their fellow artists, however, Broadway took to Twitter to express gratitude to the Hamilton cast and plea anew with Trump to respond to the rise in hate crimes since his election, the truth behind his settlement deal for defrauding thousands of Trump University students, and his plans to appoint known white nationalists—including Jeff Sessions, who, during the 1980s, was deemed too racist to be a federal judge—to his future cabinet.

Earlier today, #FindYourPark enthusiast Mikah Meyer met with Hamilton's newest George Washington Nicholas Christopher (Miss Saigon, Lazarus, Motown) for a private tour of Hamilton Grange National Memorial. During the afternoon, Mikah and Nicholas learned about the role of Hamilton Grange in the National Park Service - and some interesting tidbits about George Washington's connection to Alexander Hamilton's NYC homestead. Mikah is on his way to breaking two world records - becoming the youngest person to visit all 400+ National Park Service sites, and the only person to do it in one continuous trip.
