This week in History Club we’ll be talking about the musical “Hamilton.”

The show has been a sensation since its debut in 2015. Its creators and supporters have celebrated the play not solely as entertainment, but also as serious history.

Is it? How serious should we take “Hamilton”? How accurate is the show? How much does its historical (in)accuracy matter?

Our guest is Toni Thai Sterrett, director, filmmaker and creator of “Hamilton: A Burrspective,” which recently debuted on Clubhouse.

Join us on Clubhouse Thursday night at 10 ET. We’ll do a 1-on-1 conversation, followed by audience Q&A. (Add to calendar.)

See you on Clubhouse, Thursday, June 10 at 10 PM ET.

P.S. - I’ll be sharing my thoughts on “Hamilton” in a special newsletter this weekend. Not yet subscribed? Do so now.
