Based on Ron Chernow's 2004 biographical book titled Alexander Hamilton, this musical tells the true story of America's $10 Founding Father. The story begins when he was an immigrant who came to New York from the West Indies. Eventually, he became George Washington's right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and was later named the nation's first Treasury Secretary.
When the musical juggernaut titled “Hamilton” stormed into Kansas City’s gilded Music Hall this week, it arrives not as a relic of mid-2010s hype, but as a living, breathing re-invention of America’s founding fathers. A decade after its Broadway debut, the touring production proves that the show’s central thesis — that history is urgent, messy and deeply human — still lands with force. Somehow, the national political atmosphere cross-pollinated with the this most special 250th anniversary of the United States.
What did our critic think of HAMILTON at National Arts Centre?
The June 9 performance of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s epic musical HAMILTON may have opened under a cloud of disappointment at the Ohio Theatre (39 E. State Street in downtown Columbus). Before the opening curtain, theatergoers learned the roles of Aaron Burr and Angelica Schuyler, two of the lynch pins in the sweeping story of Revolutionary War America, were to be played by understudies Hosea Mundi and Alexandrea Reynolds respectively. Jorge Guerra (Sam Seabury) and Kevin Murakami (Charles Lee) were also understudies who played in the June 9 performance.
Few musicals have left an impact as profound as Hamilton, and for Auston Charles Henderson, being part of the show is nothing short of a dream come true. A Houston native, Henderson has taken the stage in the Hamilton Angelica Tour, bringing his passion and talent to nationwide audiences.
Let’s face it—this show is a phenomenon. It’s fascinating, and whether you love it or leave it, people are going to flock to the theatre to see it—if only just to say they have. This production, specifically, was tight, so don’t miss your shot!
This production retains the same charm and value as what I have seen before, while adding a few additional tweaks to make it special.
Truthfully, it is big shoes to fill when the expectation on a show is so high due to how accessible the Broadway show was to us, but the new Angelica cast blew us all away. We soaked in every emotion they were giving us, and there were many tears all around me during the sad moments.
An all new Hamilton cast is hitting the road as part of the 'Angelica' touring company, beginning this August! Find out who's who in the company.
HAMILTON takes another shot at Toronto as the production returns as part of Mirvish’s 2022/23 season. The show ran briefly in 2020 before it was forced to close early due to the pandemic, meaning many Canadian audiences who’ve been waiting for it the last three years will finally have the chance to experience the groundbreaking show live.
Now that the initial FOMO-induced, must-see hype of its early years has quieted down, is revisiting HAMILTON again in the room where it happens still live up to the hype in 2022? The answer, at least for myself, while witnessing the recent Opening Night performance in Costa Mesa is a very resounding YES.
The juggernaut, the glory, the hot ticket in town has returned. Yes, “Hamilton”, that multiple Tony Award winning phenomenon that’s still a big seller on Broadway has made its way back to Seattle and, good news, you have a bit over a month to catch it. Even better news, they’re doing the lottery for $10 tickets again. And possibly the best news, this production and its cast are fantastic!
The national tour of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s HAMILTON is once again at Keller Auditorium, and it’s just as much of a must-see as ever. Read our critic's review!
I avoided Hamilton as long as I possibly could. I wouldn't even listen to the cast recording, wanting to have the freshest live experience I possibly could. Somehow I held on until around 2018, right before the show visited Denver for the first time.
The national tour of the smash hit HAMILTON has triumphantly returned to the Eccles Theater and is safely performing with passion and resilience, creating a special, undeniable experience.

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s HAMILTON triumphantly took the stage at Broadway San Jose, returning to a changed world - as the masked patrons showing proof of vaccination at the door attested to.
