The Westport Library said today that its BOOKED for the Evening Thursday, May 26 event honoring Ron Chernow, a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer of “Alexander Hamilton,” the inspiration for the Broadway hit “Hamilton,” is sold out.
The sell-out is a first in the 18-year history of the event, said Marcia Logan, the library’s spokesperson.
She said while no more tickets are available for the 7 p.m. event, “we are still accepting donations—all proceeds benefit Library programs.”
Chernow won the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for biography and the 2011 American History Book Prize for his book, “Washington: A Life.” He published “Alexander Hamilton” in 2004.
