For nearly a decade, HAMILTON at New York’s Richard Rodgers Theatre, with its innovative mix of history and hip-hop, has remained “The Room Where It Happens” on Broadway. The groundbreaking Lin-Manuel Miranda production, based on Ron Chernow’s 2004 biography of founding father Alexander Hamilton, has gripped theatergoers since its 2015 debut. Immediately hailed as another milestone achievement by Miranda, who previously won a Tony Award and a Grammy for his first musical, In The Heights, HAMILTON became the most-nominated production in Tony Awards’ history and won 11 of its 16 contests, the second-largest haul in the ceremony's history. Among many other accolades, the musical earned a Pulitzer Prize in Drama, two Emmys for the stage film released on Disney+ in 2020, and a Grammy for the 2015 original Broadway cast recording, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart and became the first Broadway cast album to reach Diamond certification by the RIAA in 2023. While it certainly made Lin-Manuel Miranda as much of a household name as the man behind his titular role, HAMILTON also launched the careers of his castmates, including Leslie Odom, Jr. as Aaron Burr, Phillipa Soo as Eliza Hamilton, Renée Elise Goldsberry as Angelica Schuyler, Daveed Diggs as Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson and Anthony Ramos as John Laurens/Philip Hamilton.

All I can say is, the hype does not live up to the experience of seeing this show. I cannot remember ever before actually wishing a show would not end, that I could just sit there all night watching and listening. And after almost 3 hours no less. Waiting impatiently now for the CD. (there I've aged myself). Bring it on, please!
Never – NEVER – have we hated a show so much. “Dr. Zhivago” was simply just bad. But this we loathed. I know this is an extreme minority opinion as it is destined to win every prize including the Pulitzer, but it is a show out of the Bronx and should have stayed ‘in the heights.’ It glorifies bad English and all that is bad about rap (is there anything good?). It didn’t help that the “star,” Lin Manuel Miranda, only does certain performances that didn’t include yesterday’s. Also when we pay $142 for a seat, I expect to get leg room with it. I could not get my feet in; fortunately, I was on the aisle. And, for row T in the orchestra one should not have to climb a long flight of steps to get to it. We walked out at intermission not to return.
Hamilton is simply the best musical I have seen on Broadway for 20 years. Lin Manuel Miranda et al have turned the American Musical form on it's head! Run don't walk to get tkts.
I saw Hamilton Wednes afternoon. I want to know WHY didn't they announce on the call board or the PA system that the star, Lin-Manuel Miranda, would NOT be performing? I specifically bought tickets for a performance he would be playing (note on website: Javier Muñoz will play the role of Hamilton on Saturday matinees through September 6 and Sunday matinees September 7 onward.) I traveled from Boston specifically for that performance. Can someone explain this to me, please????
Very unique hip hop presentation of Alexander Hamilton's life. Terrific dancing, costumes and lighting. Only negative is the enunciation of some words in the singing.
Fabulous music, acting, costumes and an inventive telling of early American history!
"Hamilton" is more than a hit, it is a force of nature. The show packs a powerful wallop that never lets up throughout the nearly 3 hour running time. The music is incredibly strong with an opening number that takes you immediately into the story. Although a hip-hop version of history, the show also has some wonderful mixes of other musical genres to keep balance throughout. History was never as cool as it is in this production. You feel caught up in the revolution along with the characters and even stunned by the scandals of the times, only to remember that the story of the lives of great men have dark shadows as well as bright triumphs. The staging and direction are a fascinating study in how to not only bring history to life but also comment on it in an intelligent way. One scene, in particular, is played out in one perspective, rewound, and played from another character's perspective to give a fuller interpretation of the event. And interestingly, rather than speculate on what might have happened in some details of history, Lin-Manuel Miranda wisely sticks to what the documents tell us only and make us wish, like Aaron Burr sings, that we too could have "been in the room where it happened" so we could know why some events unfolded the way they did. But for every moment of this show, you will be thankful you ARE in the room where it happened that Broadway history is being made, and you will know why because you were there.
An amazing theatrical experience. A history lesson, an examination of human nature, a look at the past, present and future. Lin-Manuel Miranda has written an unadulterated masterpiece. Music that is new (to musical theater) and alive and raw. Don't worry about whether you like rap or hip hop...this music (which includes more than that) says SO much, the rap is simply needed for the potency of the story. Upon leaving the theater, my 14 year old made sure to tell me he'd accompany me to see it again. He's not asked to see a show a second time. We already bought tickets.
