‘Hamilton’ star wins applause in City Council
Anthony Ramos, an actor appearing in the Broadway mega-hit “Hamilton,” found a whole new audience of fans when he came to the City Council chamber on Tuesday to take a bow and accept a proclamation.
Ramos, a graduate of New Utrecht High School in Bensonhurst, was lauded by Councilmember Mark Treyger, a former teacher at the high school who recalled seeing him in one of his first theatrical ventures: a school production of “Little Shop of Horrors.”
Ramos plays two roles in “Hamilton,” Alexander Hamilton’s son Philip, and abolitionist John Laurens. The innovative musical has been smashing box office records ever since it opened.
