The creators of the hit musical move up the launch of a digital version of a popular school program.
that Miranda used as his source, Gilder Lehrman adapted the EduHam program for the online version. It was then tested with students in a pilot program involving 70 schools in 37 states.The instructional aspect of the program, Basker said, is to familiarize students with using primary source material.
Basker framed the experience in Miranda terms: “He was looking at the Founders, getting at their ideas, and putting them in the idiom of now.” “I think it could be the best way to save some parents,” said Seller, “Hamilton’s” lead producer, who was also one of the producers of “Rent.” “This is a great opportunity for kids and their parents to work together and use ‘Hamilton’ in an educational manner in a way to be both entertaining and super-instructive.”The program has the additional advantages of keeping “Hamilton” current, and forging a connection to the musical in parts of the country that it has not been able to reach in person.
“It’s a time to cope, for the most part,” he said of the suspension of normal life. “That’s not, though, not to mourn the alternate timeline.” In this timeline, the hope is that a groundbreaking musical can continue to play a leading role in sparking young imaginations.“It would feel good to us,” Basker said, “if EduHam and ‘Hamilton’ were in the homes of hundreds of thousands and even millions of kids.”
