About Hamilton: An American Musical

Hamilton is a sung-and-rapped-through musical with book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Inspired by Ron Chernow’s 2004 biography Alexander Hamilton, the show chronicles the life of the orphaned Caribbean immigrant who became George Washington’s right-hand man during the Revolutionary War, authored key sections of the Federalist Papers, founded the nation’s financial system as the first Secretary of the Treasury, and met his end in a fatal duel with Vice President Aaron Burr. What makes the musical revolutionary is its casting of Black, Latino, and Asian actors in the roles of the Founding Fathers, and a score that draws from hip-hop, R&B, jazz, and traditional Broadway to reframe American history through a modern lens.

The musical debuted Off-Broadway at The Public Theater in January 2015, transferred to Broadway’s Richard Rodgers Theatre in August 2015, and quickly became a cultural phenomenon. The original cast recording debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200—the highest-charting cast album in over four decades. At the 2016 Tony Awards, the production received a record-breaking 16 nominations and won 11, including Best Musical, Best Book, Best Original Score, and Best Direction. The show also won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and seven Olivier Awards for its London production.

The North American Tour

The “Angelica” touring company of Hamilton has been crisscrossing North America since its launch, bringing the show to cities that don’t have permanent Broadway productions. The tour has played hundreds of cities and continues to sell out theaters across the country. The Albuquerque engagement at Popejoy Hall runs August 31 through September 12, 2027, offering audiences approximately two weeks of performances.

The touring production features the same Tony Award–winning direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, scenic design by David Korins, costume design by Paul Tazewell, lighting design by Howell Binkley, and sound design by Nevin Steinberg as the Broadway original. Cast members for the Albuquerque engagement will be announced closer to the performance dates. Hamilton also continues to run on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre and in London’s West End.
