One of the many remarkable things about Lin-Manual Miranda's smash hit Hamilton is how the opening song neatly packages the years of turbulence and struggle our hero went through before arriving in New York in just a few minutes of rap.

Broadway and cabaret performer Jason Kravits (SLY FOX, THE DROWSEY CHAPARONE, RELATIVELY SPEAKING), pulls a similar trick with his hilarious parody "HARRISON! An(other) American musical," which tells the story of America's 9th President, William Henry Harrison.

If you know your American history, you'll know why his story can be told in just one song. If you don't, listen and learn.

Jason Kravits is best known for his long-running role as Richard Bay on ABC's THE PRACTICE, though he has amassed over 40 other television appearances. You can see him live at The Duplex on April 11th in, OFF THE TOP!, his one man show where he invents an entire evening of cabaret from scratch....music, lyrics, stories, characters...all based on audience suggestions.
