Hailed as a theatrical masterpiece, the Tony®, Grammy®, Olivier, and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical “Hamilton” narrates the tale of America’s past through the lens of contemporary America. The New York Times describes it as a “theatrical landmark” that revolutionized both theatre and historical interpretation. With a groundbreaking fusion of hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and Broadway, “Hamilton” reshapes the narrative of Alexander Hamilton, a founding father, into a transformative theatrical experience, leaving an indelible mark on culture, politics, and education. Crafted by Lin-Manuel Miranda with direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, and musical supervision by Alex Lacamoire, the musical draws inspiration from Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography.
Hamilton runs from April 19 to June 9, 2024. Get your tickets from SISTIC here!
