Hamilton at Richard Rodgers Theatre

After tours in the world’s most famous theaters such as Broadway itself and London’s West End, Hamilton will now also be on tour for a limited season this September in Richard Rodgers Theatre of New York, an equally famous theatre renown for its leading amenities fit to present top-of-the-line plays and musicals.

Hamilton honors the life of Alexander Hamilton, conceived and scored by the multi-talented Lin-Manuel Miranda, based off the 2004 biography of Ron Chernow. It retells the real life of Alexander Hamilton in a ‘hipper’ manner, remaining dedicated to the facts behind his life but with creative direction and musical styles that makes this show highly entertaining. Hamilton originally began off Broadway in mid 2015 and was immediately met with stunning reviews from its premier. As well as plenty of press articles and reviewers, The Washington Post, called it “making ecstatic history”, as the show’s premiere with its stunning cast that included the likes of the musical's creator Miranda himself in the main role and Tony Award winner Jonathan Groff, wowed audiences in its premiere with a spectacular production. Hamilton went on over the next ten years to win eleven Tony Awards from 16 nominations, as well as Olivier, Grammy, and Pulitzer Prize Awards.

Ever since its debut, the show has also gone on to perform in several locations around the world, where it has been receiving continuously positive reviews. BroadwayWorld calls Hamilton “the hottest ticket in town”, as it lends itself to a broad range in audience due to it being accessible to both the older generations who came for the history behind Hamilton, and the newer audiences that came for the fresh and creative approach behind this production. Over in London’s West End, TimeOut had concerns over the show being overly hyped up, but that “Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical about Alexander Hamilton, the first secretary of the U.S. Treasury, is actually better than the hype suggests”. Additionally, recently the touring cast in its Manila, Philippines’ performance, PEP PH describes Hamilton as a “visual and sensory feast that adds layers of depth to the narrative”; “This musical is a masterpiece not because it tells a flawless story, but because it brilliantly captures the essence of the imperfect human experience, and in doing so, it achieves perfection on the stage”, they stated.

Newspaper critics and audiences alike agree that the Musical is a must-attend this fall as it kicks off its runs all over America.
