Vibe Tours Launches Groundbreaking Hamilton Experience That Will Make Broadway Fans Sing in the Streets
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - May 6, 2025) - Vibe Tours, New York City's premier storytelling tour company, announced today the launch of their revolutionary Hamilton-themed tour that promises to transform how tourists experience the Big Apple's rich history. Unlike traditional "factslinging" tours that bore visitors with endless dates and figures, this immersive experience correlates lyrics from Lin-Manuel Miranda's blockbuster musical with the actual streets where Alexander Hamilton and his contemporaries once walked.

The new tour, scheduled to begin next month, takes visitors beyond the typical historical landmarks, diving deep into the scandalous lives of America's founding fathers. Guests will not only learn about Hamilton but will also discover the hidden stories of Aaron Burr, Thomas Jefferson, Eliza Hamilton, and other characters from the hit musical.
"We're not your grandmother's tour company," declares the founder of Vibe Tours. "While other companies are pointing at buildings and reciting Wikipedia entries, we're bringing these historical figures to life through their scandals, secrets, and the songs that made them famous again. Our guests have literally broken into spontaneous song during tours."
The company's approach has already created viral moments on the streets of Manhattan. During one recent tour, a school choir group erupted into "The Schuyler Sisters" in the middle of the Financial District, causing passersby to stop, listen, and eventually join in.
"It was the greatest tour of my life," recalls the guide who witnessed the impromptu performance. "These kids were so wildly talented, and suddenly the whole street was participating. That's the difference between reading about history and actually feeling it."
The Hamilton tour reveals shocking historical gems that traditional tours would never touch, including the fact that Hamilton founded the New York Post and would likely have been a Page Six regular in today's world. Visitors will also learn that Hamilton's fatal duel with Aaron Burr wasn't his first brush with this dangerous practice.
Another juicy tidbit covered on the tour involves Revolutionary War hero Hercules Mulligan, whose complex life included being both a slave owner and a founder of the New York Manumission Society, which advocated for abolition - the kind of contradiction that makes history fascinating but rarely makes it into standard tours.

Trump and FLOTUS booed and cheered at the Kennedy Center while attending 'Les Misérables'
President Donald Trump was both cheered and booed June 11 as he attended a performance of "Les Misérables" at the Kennedy Center, the performing arts facility he has subjected to a conservative takeover. The mixed reception for Trump and his wife Melania as they arrived in the presidential box reflected the heightened emotions that have been unleashed by his overhaul of the cultural center. This was his first time attending a show at the famed location, where he installed himself as chairman in February after firing many members of the board. Trump told reporters on the red carpet that the evening, which doubled as fundraiser for the Kennedy Center, had raised over $10 million. Donors could pay up to $2 million to attend the opening night, which includes a reception, premier seating, and a photo with Trump. Of his plans for renovating the space, which first opened in 1971, Trump said: 'We want to bring it back better than ever. As you know it needs a little help from the standpoint of age and fitness, but it's going to be fantastic.' In March, Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife Usha were booed at by the audience during a concert by the National Symphony Orchestra at the iconic arts venue. Richard Grenell, Trump's envoy for special missions, is the Kennedy Center's new president. The evening show is a rare public appearance for the Trumps in Washington's night life. The president didn't attend any Kennedy Center shows during his first term but has showed keen interest in the venue since winning back the White House. Trump's second term has featured efforts to exert more control over high-profile institutions, from Harvard University to the Smithsonian. The president has complained about "woke" programming and "drag shows" at the Kennedy Center. Fallout from Trump's moves at the center have attracted a blitz of reactions and media attention. The musical "Hamilton" canceled plans to appear there, staff left and sales of subscriptions and individual tickets for Kennedy Center shows have dropped, two people briefed on the data told Reuters. Overall year-on-year subscription revenue was down 36% to $2.8 million as of early June for next season, which begins in the autumn, Reuters reported. Theater subscriptions, normally a major revenue driver for the center, were down 82%. A Kennedy Center official told Reuters the comparisons reflected in those subscription sales were not accurate because the center had launched its subscription renewal campaign later in 2025 than 2024. "Our renewal campaign is just kicking off," said Kim Cooper, senior vice president of marketing, in a statement. Cooper also noted the center had launched a new subscription option that allowed customers to "mix and match" genres and said more announcements of shows were coming. The Kennedy Center depends on revenue from tickets and subscriptions, as well as donations. "President Trump cares deeply about American arts and culture, which is why he is revitalizing historic institutions like the Kennedy Center to their former greatness," White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a statement. Trump's appearance at "Les Miserables", a show about citizens rising up against their government, comes just days after he sent U.S. Marines and the National Guard to quell protests against his administration's immigration raids in Los Angeles.

Seth Meyers Mocks Donald Trump's Relationship With Son Barron Trump
Seth Meyers on Wednesday cracked wise about President Donald Trump's bond with son Barron Trump. (Watch the video below.) 'In a new interview President Trump said that his children have a future in politics and added that his son Barron is, quote, 'very tall and good.' Nice,' the 'Late Night' host began. 'Sounds like Trump knows as much about Barron as your grandma knows about LeBron James.' Barron Trump, a 19-year-old NYU student, was credited with guiding his dad to the right podcast hosts to help him win the young male vote in the election. But in a previous interview the president hinted his youngest son's future may be outside of politics. 'He's got an unbelievable aptitude in technology,' Trump said. Meyers' monologue featured an additional dig that hinted Father's Day might not be Trump's best holiday. Excerpting another moment from Trump's recent podcast interview, the comedian said: 'Asked if his eldest son Donald Trump Jr. might run for president, Trump said that Don is 'a good guy' and added, quote, 'he's an outdoorsman.' 'Oh my god he talks about his kids like he's reading their Wikipedia profiles,' Meyers cracked.
