'Hamilton' Cast to Register Voters Outside Theater

The cast of hit musical “Hamilton: An American Musical” will be registering people to vote this week outside the Richard Rogers Theatre in Manhattan.

“I’m just like my country,” Hamilton says on stage. “I’m young, scrappy and hungry, and I am not throwing away my shot.”

The registration drive will feature national registration forms so tourists and vacationers from all 50 states  can register to vote in the 2016 presidential election.
