The popularity of the Broadway musical hit “Hamilton: An American Musical” displayed itself at a local event aimed at bringing together “Hamilfans” of all ages. Hundreds turned up at the Jimmie B. Keel Regional Library on July 28 to watch or participate in “Hamiltunes.” The officially sanctioned sing- and rap-along gives singers a chance to supply their vocals to accompany the musical’s instrumental soundtrack. Besides the sing-along, there were craft tables where people could make Alexander Hamilton-inspired crafts. Those attending also could attempt ‘escaping’ from a Hamilton-themed escape room. The fasted group to solve riddles and discover clues won a prize. The library is at 2902 W. Bearss Ave., in Tampa.
