About
Hamilton is still packing the Richard Rodgers, the hip-hop founding-fathers musical that turned King George into a showstopper.
Miranda's show won 11 Tonys and a Pulitzer and remade what a Broadway score could sound like, with songs like My Shot, Satisfied and The Room Where It Happens. More than a decade in, it still plays the house where it opened. If you have only heard the album, seeing the turntable staging live is a different experience.
What to expect
A classic Broadway house with a two-level wooden set and a revolving stage, running close to three hours with an intermission. Expect a full, energetic crowd that often cheers at the big numbers. Ushers move people in efficiently, so arrive a little early to take in the set before the first note.
