Lyric Music & More: August 4
It’s hard to overstate the cultural impact of Hamilton. Even if you’ve never seen the show, you’ve likely heard some of the music. Miranda’s score brilliantly combines the musical worlds of hip-hop, jazz, and R&B with a quintessentially Broadway idiom. In her Lyric debut, Broadway star Nikki Renée Daniels, who portrayed Angelica Schuyler in Hamilton at the CIBC Theater in Chicago, gives a moving performance of the intimate song “Dear Theodosia.” If you haven’t watched the full virtual concert The New Classics: Songs from the New Golden Age of Musical Theater, this song is guaranteed to reel you in.
