Off Broadway Parody Takes A Shot At 'Hamilton'

Theatre lovers who can’t get a ticket to the Broadway hit "Hamilton" have another option. An off-Broadway parody called "Spamilton" is running at the Triad Theatre through March.

The show is the brainchild of playwright and satirist Gerard Alessandrini (@ForbiddenGerard), who created the award-winning "Forbidden Broadway" parody show, which ran uninterrupted in New York for 25 years.

"Spamilton" takes shots both at Hamilton and its writer, creator and lyricist, Lin Manuel Miranda.
