A revolutionary story of passion, unstoppable ambition, and the dawning of a new nation.
HAMILTON is the epic saga that follows the rise of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton as he fights for honor, love, and a legacy that would shape the course of a nation. Based on Ron Chernow's acclaimed biography and set to a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and Broadway, HAMILTON has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education. HAMILTON features book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire. In addition to its 11 Tony Awards, it has won Grammy, Olivier Awards, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and an unprecedented special citation from the Kennedy Center Honors.

My goodness I was crying from start to finish it was beautiful. It was a birthday present from my parents and honestly it was a dream come true. Not gonna lie it was pricey but it was worth every cent and honestly if I didn't live so far away I would go see it again! The choreography was beautiful and the singing was amazing, words fail to describe how excellent the performers were, I can tell everyone must have worked really hard to put together something so detailed but their work was not in vain! Absolutely inspirational show put together by absolutely inspirational people.
Talent galore in a perfect setting at CIBC theatre. Great story, goes without saying. Only reason not 5 star was a lack of sound quality - at times difficult to understand performers.
King George and Thomas Jefferson steal the show ... each and every cast member are gifted ... this performance will not disappoint !
Was so happy to be able to buy a single ticket to matinee performance while visiting Chicago. Play was incredible I loved every moment of it and really did not want it to end. Just loved it!
Wonderfully energetic lively production! Who knew American history could be so fun? Completley enjoyed the rap/hip-hop music and corresponding wit throughout. The fact the actors were not typecast according to ethnicity was genius and created another layer to the entire experience.
Beautiful theatre. Great music. Disappointed that we saw the understudy for Hamilton who started off weak. Not enough intensity in his delivery at first but he got slightly better. Overall, we LOVE this musical. Took our teenage son as a surprise. Great experience.
The music and dancing was 100%...up to Broadway standards! However, there was an alternate for the alternate of Hamilton, when I saw the show. I was disappointed in that performance, as well as three other cast members. I may be being picky here, but I have seen a lot of shows in London and New York and I have always gotten a "feeling" while watching them. This show, I did not! I would definitely say that it wasn't worth what I plaid for the ticket. I will go see the musical next year in NY.
Jaw dropping. The most amazing live theatre experience I've ever seen. My son said "I had tears rolling down my face into my shirt, and I didn't want to wipe them away, because I didn't want it to be over..."
Although this was well done and exceptional it was not my favourite I enjoyed Billy Elliott over Hamilton
Unbelievable! Best play I've seen. Incredible staging and music.
We looked forward to seeing Hamilton in Chicago for 10 months ("Wait for It"). And it was worth the wait. Michelle Obama calls it the greatest piece of art she has ever seen, and she's not wrong. ""
Always loved the music from Hamilton and it all came together and made sense after watching the musical. The cast was brilliant! A definite must watch!
Seeing the show live was everything I dreamed it would be. The whole audience was completely rapt from the beginning to the end. I would love to go again.
Simply amazing performance. Highly recommended. Tre circular stage provided great visual dance visuals. The singers were very powerful. Especially Angelica
Took my daughter for her graduation gift. Tickets were a fortune but worth every cent! The performance was captivating, the acting was incredible - I can't say enough. What a wonderful memory!
An amazing production. Have been waiting for the opportunity to see Hamilton and was not disappointed.
Can't say enough about this play. A mix of all sorts of musical genres from rap to standard show tunes. Excellent acting, singing. I was up in the nosebleed section but still felt part of the action on stage. King George is hilarious. This is a powerful play with a good message for today.
After listening to the soundtrack for over a year, I was blown away by the Chicago cast and would go back to see it again in a heart beat!
Been to several broadway shows - phantom, sunset boulevard, carol, wicked and many more. This is one of the very BEST so innovative, interesting entertaining and awesome. A must see.
