PBS News Weekend

Season 6, Episode 51 of 99

This year, the Broadway smash hit "Hamilton" enraptured audiences with its fusion of hip-hop, musical theater and historical text. And it's not the only show of its kind: at the Westside Theatre in New York City, audiences are watching "Othello: the Remix," a retelling of William Shakespeare's classic play that transforms the protagonist into a rising hip-hop star. NewsHour Weekend's Ivette Feliciano sits down with the Q Brothers, the rap and theater artists who created the show, and other cast members.
