Hamilton
July 20 - 25, 2027
Immigrants, they get the job done! Written by Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hamilton is a true landmark of American culture, tearing up the musical theatre rulebook with a score that is equal parts Sondheim and Notorious B.I.G., and a cast of ethnically diverse actors in the roles of the Founding Fathers. The story centers on immigrant Alexander Hamilton, one of our most important (and colorful) characters, who rose from humble, orphaned beginnings to play a major role in creating a democratic America that welcomes the contributions of all of its citizens.
