Hamilton Broadway Tickets, News, Info & More


History has its eyes on Hamilton. It's been almost one decade since this non-stop phenomenon arrived on Broadway, and there is no sign of it slowing down anytime soon. Hamilton is a groundbreaking musical that has made history in redefining the American musical theater landscape by telling the story of Alexander Hamilton, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Created by Lin-Manuel Miranda, this musical integrates hip-hop, R&B, and traditional show tunes to narrate Hamilton's rise to the nation's first Treasury Secretary.

Based on Ron Chernow's biography, the musical explores themes of ambition, legacy, and the complexities of the American Revolution through a diverse cast that reflects the multicultural society of today and illustrates the political and personal struggles that shaped the early years of the United States.

Hamilton follows the life of Alexander Hamilton, a young, scrappy and hungry immigrant from the Caribbean who rises to become a key figure in the founding of the United States. Starting as a penniless orphan, Hamilton makes his mark as a fiery writer and joins the American Revolution, working closely with George Washington. After the war, he helps shape the new government as the first Secretary of the Treasury, where his vision of a strong, centralized economy clashes with political rivals like Thomas Jefferson. The story also delves into Hamilton’s personal life, including his marriage to Eliza Schuyler, a high-profile affair, and a turbulent friendship-turned-rivalry with Aaron Burr, which culminates in a fatal duel.

Since its Broadway debut in 2015, Hamilton has received widespread acclaim and numerous awards, including 11 Tony Awards, a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. Its innovative score and dynamic choreography have made it a cultural phenomenon, inspiring audiences around the world.

Directed by Thomas Kailand choreographed by Andy Blankenbuehler, Hamilton uses modern music styles to bring new life to historical events, making the story accessible to a broad audience and encouraging conversations about history and identity.

Can't make it to the room where it happens? Fans can also check out a full recording of Hamilton on Disney+. The film was released in 2020 and stars most of the original Broadway cast, including Miranda as the title character.

Whether you are an American history buff or encountering his story for the first time, Hamilton offers a compelling look at American history through a modern lens. Its themes of perseverance, ambition, and the pursuit of ideals continue to resonate, making Hamilton an impactful theatrical experience that invites reflection on the nation’s past and present. You won't want to say 'no' to this...
