The True History of the Famous Duel Between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr by Tony Tambasco

“
While the musical might bring Hamilton's entire life to the stage, Tambasco here focuses on one singular moment, the duel itself, to great effect. This piece in particular builds upon the bystanders and friends of the duelists, bringing an emotional beat to the piece, before delving into the heady conflict, allowing the audience to invest itself. This approach really pays off, and the verse structure gives it a musicality of its own. A great piece for a themed festival, or a change of pace in a more open format. ”
