Much like how the teacher character Dewey Finn becomes the hero of his fourth-grade class, the kids undeniably look up to the adults in the production’s cast.

More than 8,500 Bay Area high school students will receive an opportunity to see “Hamilton” and watch classmates’ and peers’ original performances on stage.

The Broadway smash hit musical “Hamilton” has officially swept the nation. In wake of its 11 Tony Award wins and its record-breaking 16 nominations, this production has ushered in a new era of not just theater but also education. In order to commemorate the Fourth of July, we at the Clog would like to recognize this musical that highlights key moments in our nation’s founding and has actually brought some life to the repetitive American history we have been learning about since fifth grade. Even though this musical is historical both in what it’s doing for theater and in its content, we would like to focus on the important questions. Are you an Alexander Hamilton or an Aaron Burr, sir?
