Alexander Hamilton’s remarkable story has inspired millions of Americans. Now you can see it through his eyes in this 360-degree immersive exhibition inspired by the revolutionary Broadway musical. Featuring an audio tour narrated by the musical’s author, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hamilton: The Exhibition takes visitors deeper into the life and times of one of our nation’s Founding Fathers, while at the same time chronicling the American Revolution and the creation of the United States of America. Through a dynamic and interactive mix of lighting, sound, multimedia, music and historical artifacts, you’ll experience how it felt to write the way Hamilton wrote, fight the way Hamilton fought, and live the way Hamilton lived. Hamilton: The Exhibition gives new insight into Hamilton’s life and the founding of America, ultimately leaving us to ask the question: How can we leave our own legacies for future Americans? Don’t miss the exhibition’s launch this spring at Chicago’s Northerly Island. Goldstar has discounted $20 tickets for dates through September.  Grab some and plan a family memory.
