“Energetic and innovative, blending hip-hop with traditional musical theatre movements.” – Secret Stage Reviews
The brilliant 18th century epic will bring you back to the defining moment of the American revolution. American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton began his life as an orphan. Through his wit, he found a way to escape home and immigrate to New York City. This remarkable kid went on to attend college and impresses his friends with his outstanding rhetorical skills. Together, they share their interest, eventually leading to the topic of revolution.
Hamilton premiered as an Off Broadway epic in 2015 in New York City. The production has continuously sold out leading to a bigger, more epic, and more fantastically produced Broadway presentation that same year. The musical went on to become the big winner at the 2016 award season bagging 11 Tony Awards, two Drama League Awards, a Pulitzer Prize, and a Grammy Award. Meanwhile, the Off Broadway production also brought home the bacon with ten Lucille Lortel Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards and eight Drama Desk Awards.
The story of Alexander Hamilton has moved audiences so much the performances had sold out months in advance. Eventually, Hamilton went on to tour North America. In 2017, the production in London’s West End was staged followed by Australia, Hamburg, and more. Multiple tours across North America also continued to run from 2017 to 2023. This 2025, Hamilton returns to the road and will deliver the same magnificent story and mindblowing visual and aural showcase that stunned New York City way back in 2015. Ten years after its premier, Hamilton continues to bring in new audiences.

Meanwhile, the Seattle Times had this to say in their rave review, “It was also colloquial and funny, crammed with Easter egg references to both musical theater and pop music, and animated by outstanding high-energy performances by actors who, in many cases, had helped create their roles.” The article ended with a note that Hamilton will cause audiences to ponder, “It all felt so good. The comfort of self-mythologizing, of thinking of ourselves as a nation of revolutionaries — delicious.”
