Fort Worth, TX. – February 6, 2019 – Performing Arts Fort Worth is proud to announce HAMILTON will anchor its blockbuster 2019-2020 Broadway at the Bass Season at Bass Performance Hall!
HAMILTON is the story of America’s Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington’s right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and was the new nation’s first Treasury Secretary. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B, and Broadway, HAMILTON is the story of America then, as told by America now.
