Alexander Hamilton Bio Writer Ron Chernow on Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hit Hip Hop Broadway Musical
Biggest Snubs for 2016 Oscars Include 'Straight Outta Compton,' Ridlely Scott and More
It would appear that the Academy Awards were to acknowledge the best of the best in 2015. Even though last year was stuffed with a series of great films, there were some odd developments regarding the nominees. While some nominations were to be expected (such as The Revenant and its astounding 12 noms), there were some surprising snubs, like Straight Outta Compton's small presence in the nominee circle. Seeing so much talent get unrecognized has come as a surprise to the film community. PBS Great Performances Featuring ‘Hamilton’ Documentary After ‘In The Heights’ Feature
Lin-Manuel Miranda’s 'Hamilton' is the hottest ticket on Broadway today. Sold out for months in advance, many fans are only able to enjoy the show by watching Youtube clips or listening to the soundtrack, leaving them wanting. Well PBS has heard your cries for more and are working on a solution. This fall PBS’ Great Performances series will feature a documentary based on the hit show, titled 'Hamilton’s America.' The same group is also responsible for a previous documentary about Lin-Manuel’s In the Heights.
