ABOUT HAMILTUNES: AN AMERICAN SINGALONG AND “RIGHT HAND MAN: GEORGE WASHINGTON AND THE POLITICS OF PORTRAITURE”

What time is it? Show time! Be in the room where it happens as the New Orleans Museum of Art presents Hamiltunes NOLA: An American Singalong. We’ll sing like we’re running out of time and raise a glass to freedom, lifting our voices in celebration of our generation’s most popular musical phenomenon.

Before the singalong, join curator Katie Pfohl for a spotlight tour of NOMA’s iconic Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington, and learn why this portrait may be the most reproduced image in all of American history! Hint: It’s all about the money.

Please RSVP here. Costumes are encouraged (no swords or dueling pistols, please).

Hamiltunes: An American Singalong, is an officially licensed singalong set to the award-winning soundtrack of Hamilton: An American Musical.
