Based on The True Story

Sunday February 9, 2025 10:45am - 11:45am EST

Musicals based on history have a special way of telling stories and teaching valuable lessons, whether through well-loved jukebox music or by giving a fresh perspective on a hidden historical gem. From Hamilton to Harmony, Suffs to Six, these historical shows dive deeper into the life and times of these true events and real people, offer fresh perspectives, and pay tribute to those who paved the way.

Join this panel to discuss your favorite historical musicals, play trivia, and travel back in time with a historical singalong.
