Segerstrom Center for the Arts invites fans and fanatics of Broadway’s mega hit “Hamilton” to gather on the Julianne and George Argyros Plaza and let their collective voices ring out during Hamiltunes: An American Sing-along. Everyone is a star in this fun community sing-along on Saturday, March 3 from 4 to 6 p.m. Costumes are encouraged! Hamiltunes: An American Sing-along will be hosted by three-time Emmy Award-nominated Broadway conductor, pianist, comedian, writer, SiriusXM Broadway channel deejay, and host of his own talk show, Seth Rudetsky.
Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award and Grammy Award-winner Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote the book, music, and lyrics for “Hamilton” said of Rudetsky, “If Seth Rudetsky didn’t exist, we’d have to invent him. He is the friend who points out everything glorious and silly about your favorite shows. He leaves you laughing helplessly and in awe of his gifts…”
Hamiltunes is absolutely free, and there are many ways to participate. For those with stage fright—join the chorus of your Hamilfriends who will share the Argyros Plaza with you. Those who aspire to portray solo roles must sign up in advance on the Center’s website at www.SCFTA.org and answer three questions: What songs would you like to sing?, What role would you like to portray?, and Within the role you would like to portray, which of that character’s songs would you like to sing? No previous experience anywhere is required. Casting is at random on the evening of the show. some roles may be multi-cast, with several people portraying the same character. Individuals singing solo roles will be coached and rehearsed by Rudetsky prior to the performance. Who will portray King George? Who will be Aaron Burr? Who will be the Schuyler sisters? And…who will be the evening’s Alexander Hamilton? It will be a great event when voices from all over Orange County gather to sing out for Hamiltunes.
