And yes, there will be a lottery for $10 tickets for each performance, but the company bringing the show here — Broadway Across America — has not released any details. Expect more information closer to the show’s run.
The musical has also been teased for the 2019-2020 seasons at Miami’s Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts and West Palm Beach’s Kravis Center for the Performing Arts.
“Hamilton” has excited pop-culture fans from the beginning. The show about founding father Alexander Hamilton first got major coverage when creator Lin-Manuel Miranda chose a multiracial cast to depict white historical figures. In New York and with subsequent productions in Los Angeles, Chicago and now London, many of the central characters — Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and even Hamilton’s killer, Aaron Burr — are portrayed by actors of color. As with his musical “In the Heights,” Miranda filled his score for “Hamilton” with hip-hop rhythms and rap-infused musical numbers. The show went on to win 11 Tony Awards, the Pulitzer Prize for drama and a Grammy Award.
