HAMILTON Will Hold First Relaxed Performance in the UK
This aims to be a welcoming experience for audiences with learning difficulties, special educational needs, and/or disabilities.
The first Relaxed Performance of Hamilton in the UK will take place on Wednesday 29 April 2026 at 6:30pm at the Victoria Palace Theatre (A Delfont Mackintosh Theatre).
Through this collaboration, Go Live Theatre and the production will deliver an inclusive and welcoming experience for audiences with learning difficulties, special educational needs, and/or disabilities.
The performance will be carefully adapted to support neuro-divergent audience members, including those on the autism spectrum and individuals with sensory or communication needs. As with all Go Live Relaxed Performances, there will be subtle changes to the sound and lighting, and specially trained front-of-house staff will be on hand throughout the evening to help anyone who requires assistance.

We look forward to welcoming over 1,500 people to what promises to be a very special and momentous occasion.”
