The concert will be produced by Jeffrey Seller, the main producer of “Hamilton”, who described how he was asked to participate in “Guerrillas Theater” in the New York Times.
“This is our way to return to the Kennedy center,” said Seller. “This is a way of saying: 'We are here, we exist and you cannot ignore ourselves.' This is a protest and a political act.”
The seller and creator of “Hamilton”, Lin-Manuel Miranda, previously canceled a planned production of the popular rap musical at the Kennedy center for 2026 in protest of the Trump administration.
The concert will feature several Broadway artists, as well as the choir of Washington's gay men, whose May performance at the Kennedy center was canceled. However, Fox News Digital was told that the decision occurred before the center's leadership change due to the lack of ticket sales instead of politics.
