What they’re saying:
- Jimmy Pitaro, President of ESPN and Co-Chair, Disney Media Networks: “The story and subject matter that Hamilton covers, and the creative vision of its architects and actors, are more timely than ever. The Undefeated, and Kelley L. Carter, are uniquely positioned to help connect audiences – whether they have never seen the show, or have seen it 10 times – to the creative process, people and significance of Hamilton as it debuts on Disney+.”
- Kelley L. Carter: “The cast of Hamilton didn’t come to play. They are accomplished performers who created genre-shifting art, but they also understand this unprecedented time in history and why their voices matter. This special isn’t just about one of the most important pieces of work to ever play on Broadway. This is about how art inspires activation. And, well, how activation inspires great art.”
