About the Show

A revolutionary story of passion, unstoppable ambition, and the dawn of a new nation.

Hamilton is the epic saga that follows the rise of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton as he fights for honor, love, and a legacy that would shape the course of a nation. Based on Ron Chernow’s celebrated biography and set to a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and Broadway, Hamilton has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education. With a book, score, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, the musical has won Tony Awards, Grammy®, Olivier Awards, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and an unprecedented special citation from the Kennedy Center Honors.

Along with characters like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, King George III, Aaron Burr, and Angelica and Elizabeth Schuyler, the musical tells the story of a political mastermind and the country he came to build.

Hamilton premiered at the Public Theater in 2015 and received rave reviews. It then transferred to Broadway where it continued to play sold-out performances. The show subsequently transferred to the West End in 2017.
