About Hamilton - The Musical That Changed Broadway

Hamilton: An American Musical premiered on Broadway in August 2015 and immediately redefined what a stage production could be. Creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda drew inspiration from Ron Chernow biography of Alexander Hamilton and transformed it into a hip-hop musical that blends rap, jazz, R&B, and traditional show tunes into something entirely new. The show tells the story of Hamilton -- a scrappy immigrant from the Caribbean island of Nevis who rose to become one of the most influential Founding Fathers, serving as the first Secretary of the Treasury and George Washington right-hand advisor.

The original Broadway production swept the 2016 Tony Awards with a record-setting 16 nominations and 11 wins, including Best Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Book of a Musical. Miranda also won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. A filmed version of the original Broadway cast performance debuted on Disney+ in 2020, introducing millions of new fans to the show and fueling even more demand for live performances.

The North American touring production of Hamilton has been crisscrossing the country for years, and the quality of the traveling company rivals the original Broadway cast. The staging, designed by David Korins, features a signature rotating turntable that keeps the action flowing across two and a half hours of nonstop music. Andy Blankenbuehler choreography is kinetic and precise, with movement that mirrors the verbal gymnastics of Miranda lyrics. Every performance is a full sensory experience -- the energy in the room is palpable from the first notes of Alexander Hamilton to the final moments of Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story.
