Theatre -Hamilton - Victoria Palace Theatre

The infamous Hamilton musical, a sung-and-rapped-through production about the life of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton with music, lyrics and a book by Lin-Manuel Miranda, has taken the West End's Victoria Palace Theatre by storm.

Hamilton West End may be miles from the USA, but it tells the story of America’s Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington’s right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and was the new nation’s first Treasury Secretary. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B, and Broadway, Hamilton tickets give you the opportunity to witness the story of America then, told by America now.

The hit musical also details the lives of other important figures in American history, including former US presidents Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and George Washington as well as Aaron Burr, Angelica Schuyler, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, Gilbert du Motier, Hercules Mulligan, John Laurens, Marquis de Lafayette, Peggy Schuyler, and Philip Hamilton.

A Presidential Affair

The spectacularly successful hit Broadway musical made its off-Broadway debut at The Public Theatre in February 2015 and quickly sold out. Hamilton later transferred to Broadway’s Richard Rodgers Theatre in August 2015, opening to rave reviews and enthusiastic critical acclaim -and it goes without saying, that Hamilton tickets became extremely popular!

The Hamilton musical on Broadway has won a Grammy Award for Best Theater Album and Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The off-Broadway production received 14 nominations while the Broadway production has been nominated for an all-time record-setting 16 Tony Awards. The West End transfer of Hamilton is noted for winning seven Olivier Awards in 2018, including the award for Best New Musical.

The Hamilton film was released nearly a year and a half before its intended theatrical release at a time when people around the world were in desperate need of entertainment. The taped Broadway performance was just the ticket for an entertaining night at home. Hamilton Disney Plus cast stars the show’s creator Lin-Manuel Miranda in the titular role.

Critical Acclaim And Fun Facts

The original cast album has sold millions of copies worldwide, attracting the likes of former President Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and creator Lin-Manuel Miranda's fellow Broadway star Ben Platt.

The Hamilton musical is a delightful and genre-defying fusion of style, wordplay, historical references and emotional depth.

Lin-Manuel Miranda was vacationing in Mexico when he came across author Ron Chernow's biography of Hamilton, after reading it, he began to wonder - what would the founding father's life look like as a musical?

Hamilton was composed over a seven-year period from 2008 to 2015. It was definitely worth the wait!

Hamilton is historically accurate, with both the story and the lyrics being thoroughly researched. An example of this is that lines from personal letters and other documents and often featured in the song's lyrics. 

The Guardian ranked the Hamilton musical the second-greatest theatrical work since 2000.
