Hamilton

About the show

Lin-Manuel Miranda tells the story of Alexander Hamilton and the founding era through a score that draws on hip-hop, R&B and musical theatre.

What to look for

The second act changes the stakes from revolution to the business of governing. “Cabinet Battle” numbers turn policy arguments into staged debates, while recurring phrases track the very different ideas Hamilton and Burr have about when to act.

Opening-night cast

Lin-Manuel Miranda as Alexander Hamilton, Leslie Odom Jr. as Aaron Burr and Phillipa Soo as Eliza Hamilton. See the official production link for the current cast.

Before you book

Much of the story moves through densely written lyrics. Listening to the opening number beforehand can help first-time visitors follow the characters and their relationships.
