Hamilton at KeyBank State Theatre

Production writer Lin-Manuel Miranda, fresh off the breakout success from his last Broadway play, In the Heights, conceptualized Hamilton for a couple of years before it debuted in the Richard Rodgers Theatre in 2015. It was in this opening that he also acted the title role. The whole Musical, including its amazing cast and amazing score received highly positive feedback from both critics and the audiences alike.

Hamilton, as you might know, is a historical tale based off one of the Nations Founding Fathers, but Hamilton takes a fresh and forward-thinking approach, as seen in the music genres chosen and particularly in its diverse casting. Additionally, the 70th Tony Awards, where Hamilton took home 11 out of 16 nominations, is a testament to its success. the Musical’s initial cast consisted of the actors and actresses, Philippa Soo, Leslie Odom Jr., and Jonathan Groff. Individually, the cast was already filled with both famous nominees and awardees, but their wide range and memorable performances combined brought Hamilton to a whole new level. The production team, just as extremely talented, won Tony Awards for Hamilton. Thomas Kail for Best Direction, Andy Blankenbuehler for Best Choreography, Alex Lacamoire for Best Orchestrations, Howell Binkley for Best Lighting Design of a Musical, Paul Tazewell for Best Costume Design of a Musical, and of course the man himself Lin-Manuel Miranda for Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical, all stole the show at the 2016 Tony Awards. Additionally, and unsurprisingly, the production also grabbed Best Musical for 2016. The present cast and production crew in each new location where the show is played brings the same passion and enthusiasm in their performances, with glowing reviews posted regularly.

Hamilton’s meteoric rise to fame led to opening many doors all over the world for the fans to experience Hamilton. It has continued for the past decade to perform not just on Broadway, but also over in the UK's West End and in a number of locations across Asia. Hamilton’s limited season will be heading to Cleveland throughout June (and on Saturday 28th June 2025) at KeyBank State Theatre, performing at yet another world-class stage with the premier facilities and sound engineering that rivals even Broadway and West End theaters.
