About Hamilton
Hamilton is the revolutionary musical that changed Broadway — and then changed the West End. Lin-Manuel Miranda's genre-defying masterpiece tells the story of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton through an explosive blend of hip-hop, jazz, R&B and traditional show tunes. It's the story of America then, told by America now, with a diverse cast that reflects the nation Hamilton helped build.
The London production at the Victoria Palace Theatre has been a sensation since opening in 2017, winning a record-breaking seven Olivier Awards. With its razor-sharp lyrics, electrifying choreography and deeply moving story of ambition, love, legacy and the cost of revolution, Hamilton is simply unmissable.

“Incredible show but some of the lyrics are so fast you need to know the soundtrack to follow everything. Still, absolutely worth it.”
