Hamilton musical fans in Savannah eager to watch the cast perform @ Grammy Awards

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2016

images (20)We are obsessed with the Hamilton musical.

Here’s proof. 

Which is why we’re beyond excited to watch the Hamilton cast perform at the Grammy Awards Feb. 15 from their hub at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City.

The show’s opening number will be performed by the cast of Hamilton, the hit musical based on the life of Alexander Hamilton.

It’s only the eighth time a major musical theater show has performed as part of the Grammys.

And that just proves what a big deal Hamilton has become since it opened on Broadway in August.

Secret Ocean in 3D
Narrated by renowned oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle, Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Secret Ocean 3D offers a breakthrough look at a secret world within the ocean that is perhaps the biggest story of all – that the smallest life in the sea is the mightiest force on which we all depend. Alongside marine biologist Holly Lohuis, Jean-Michel Cousteau invites audiences to dive into this whole new world that will leave them in awe of the beauty and diversity of the oceans – the source of all life on our planet – and inspire an even stronger desire to protect what they have either seen for the first time or perhaps re-discovered along the journey.

Humpback Whales in 3D
An extraordinary journey into the mysterious world of one of nature’s most awe-inspiring marine mammals, Humpback Whales takes audiences to Alaska, Hawaii and the Kingdom of Tonga for an immersive look at how these whales communicate, sing, feed, play and take care of their young. Captured for the first time with IMAX ® 3D cameras, and found in every ocean on earth, humpbacks were nearly driven to extinction 50 years ago, but today are making a steady recovery. Join a team of researchers as they unlock the secrets of the humpback and find out what makes humpbacks the most acrobatic of all whales, why only the males sing, and why these intelligent 50-foot, 48-ton animals migrate more than 6,000 miles every year.
