University of Maryland historian Dr. Richard Bell will present a lecture, June 27, 6-8 p.m., exploring the success of the Tony Award-winning musical, “Hamilton,” and what it tells us about the marriage of history and show business. Learn what this amazing musical gets right and gets wrong about Alexander Hamilton, the American Revolution, the birth of the United Sates and why all that matters. Bell will examine some of the choices “Hamilton’s” creators made to simplify, dramatize and humanize the complicated events and stories on which the show is based. Doors open at 6 pm. Lecture and Q&A begin at 6:30 pm. Cost is $15 for MdHS members and $20 for nonmembers, including light refreshments.
