In addition to thanking Lin-Manuel Miranda for giving us Broadway's smash hit HAMILTON, Americans should be grateful that he has also sparked a lively debate over which historical figures from U.S. history deserve their face on our official currency.

Newly-minted Pulitzer Prize winner Lin-Manuel Miranda sat down with RACHAEL RAY this week, where he opened up about working with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson on Disney's next animated feature MOANA and whether Hamilton could become a television musical. Check out a clip from his appearance below!

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., today announced the indictment of ANTHONY HUGER, 32, for selling and attempting to sell forged tickets to the Broadway musical Hamilton. The defendant is charged in a New York State Supreme Court indictment with ten counts of Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument in the Second Degree, among other charges.

Just weeks ago he was preparing to make his Broadway return in NERDS. Now he is starring in the most popular show on Broadway. As BroadwayWorld previously reported, Tony Award-nominee Rory O'Malley recently began his reign as King George in the Broadway musical Hamilton at the Richard Rodgers Theatre (226 W. 46 St). Mr. O'Malley steps into the role that was previously played by Jonathan Groff, Brian d'Arcy James and Andrew Rannells. How did he end up here? O'Malley explains in the full interview below!

After hosting sold-out Hamilton-themed workshops in the Tri-State Area, award-winning Manhattan acting studio A Class Act NY and Hamilton star Andrew Chappelle (HAMILTON, MAMMA MIA!) are now bringing workshops all over the northeast. Scroll down for a look at Chappelle's most recent workshop!

HAMILTON: THE REVOLUTION, co-authored by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jeremy McCarter, was released earlier this week. The book's popularity has so far matched the show's popularity itself, delighting readers around the world and selling out on Amazon. But today, Amazon has released a special offer: a free audio version of the book, widely known as the Hamiltome, with a 30-day free trial of Audible. 

The world is wide enough, after all. HAMILTON's original stars won't be going home with empty pockets after a significant profit-sharing deal. 

Contemporary audiences have less patience for the slave-owner who wrote 'All men are created equal.'

More than just an afternoon at the theatre, #EduHam is a full curriculum inspiring students to look at history with a modern eye.

Good news - Hamilton's digital lottery is officially continuing on from winter, meaning that fans can enter online daily for a chance to see one of Broadway's biggest hits. Better news - this means that digital #Ham4Ham is also happening, featuring surprise performances from the cast. Today's video features the coronation of new 'King George' Rory O'Malley (who started performances in HAMILTON on Monday) by former ruler Jonathan Groff. Check it out below!
