Hamilton at Orpheum Theatre

Since its release date in 2015, there is one show that repeatedly gives us the opportunity to witness history in a truly extraordinary way. Hamilton mixes American history with recent politics, using a soundtrack of American modern music and one of the most creative librettos ever written. The result is that nearly every song in the show works as an intricate historical concert, layering musical pasts with the musical present, just as the historical past mingles with the political present. In less than two years, it has exploded all box office records – it has sold $1bn worth of tickets – and won every theatrical prize (including the Pulitzer prize for drama), garnering the kind of hyperbolic praise that no production can possibly live up to. But Hamilton exceeds its own acclaim. Watching Gamilton is making history. Get your tickets now!
