The critically acclaimed and popular Broadway musical Hamilton will spring to the stage Feb. 19 to March 10 at the Procter & Gamble Hall in the Aronoff Center for the Arts, downtown. The play is the telling of one of America’s Founding Fathers, Alexander Hamilton, who became a key aide to George Washington during the Revolutionary War as well as the country’s first Treasury secretary.
