Hamilton on Broadway

There is no better show to start a new year of theater with than this international, Tony Award-winning phenomenon. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hip-hop-infused retelling of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton’s life has remained one of the biggest hits on Broadway since it opened in 2015, with a Grammy Award-winning score including songs “The Room Where It Happens”, “My Shot” and “Wait For It”. Incredible performances and irrepressible energy make this a must-see show for January 2024.

It has already earned plaudits and awards at NYCC, so don’t miss your chance to see its premiere on Broadway.
