THE ALEXANDER PROJECT
The Alexander Project is a tribute to the powerful music and spirit of Hamilton. This energized hip hop throw down breaks through with a hand picked live band of musicians and vocalists to fully realize Hamilton’s incredible music. The songs are brought to life through a mesmerizing group consisting of professional theater actors fresh off runs with Hamilton, as well as pop musicals 'The Book Of Mormon', 'In The Heights', 'RENT', 'Jesus Christ Superstar' & 'Evita' alongside a band comprised of the Southwest’s most dynamic musicians. The concerts are comprised of music from the Original Cast Recordings, The Hamilton Mixtape, Lin Manuel Miranda’s Hamildrops.
You’re invited to be a part of this break dancing, free-styling, roof raising phenomena that is THE ALEXANDER PROJECT… we dare you not to sing along!!

REVIEWS:
“History Has Its Eyes On You Tribute Concert [now The ALEXANDER Project] captures the spirit of the musical through strong vocals, live and DJ music, and hip-hop dance performance. “History Has Its Eyes On You” takes viewers on an emotional journey, channeling the hope at the heart of the Broadway musical.” — Lynn Trimble of the Phoenix New Times
“They focused instead on songs that people can resonate with today; songs about love, lust, parenthood and the endless and revolutionary impact of immigrants. The show isn’t a performance of the musical, but a celebration of the timeless themes and transcendental music—and performed on a stunning level, of course… I sincerely hope this show returns to Tucson, because it is a hell of a good time.” — Chelo Grubb of the Tucson Weekly
