"The producers of the musical Hamilton have authorized a free sing-along program for groups of fans everywhere to come together publicly and celebrate the musical! You...are invited to join us for the brand new Hamiltunes LEX, the authorized Hamiltunes program in Lexington, KY. There are only about ten Hamiltunes programs in the country at this time, so this is a very exciting addition to the Lexington Arts community. Our twice monthly sing-a-long events feature YOU on stage singing and rapping your heart out! You can even sign up to sing your favorite song as your favorite character from the musical. (Check the Hamiltunes LEX Facebook page to sign up to sing a particular song!) Come in costume! Bring your friends & family too! And it's free!! Our very first Hamiltunes LEX gathering is next Friday, September 1 from 6:30-8pm at Willis Music (130 West Tiverton Way) in their recital hall! Future events will be on Tuesday, September 19, and will continue on the First Friday & Third Tuesday of each month! The founder of Hamiltunes LEX, Chris Teesdale, recently appeared on WTVQ-36 to promote the upcoming sing-a-long event on September 1. Here is a link to the video from this newscast. Please note that we have also planned a kid-friendly (language) version of Hamiltunes LEX once a month, beginning on October 7 @ 3pm."
