Broadway’s hottest show is shining its spotlight on a collection of historic American documents – the letters of Alexander Hamilton – which are being auctioned by Sotheby’s.
Dozens of Hamilton’s letters will be offered on January 18th – estimated to be worth $1.4 million to to $2 million.
The show’s set designer, David Korins created part of Sotheby’s Americana exhibit – that includes the kind of art and furniture that surrrounded Alexander Hamilton in his daily life.
Javier Munoz plays the lead role – and he got teary-eyed as he held a letter from Hamilton’s son – whom he called “papa.”
Munoz says reading Hamilton’s private thoughts will deeply affect his performance.
