Tickets are now available for the Great White Way transfer of Lin-Manuel Miranda's much-buzzed about Hamilton. The tuner will begin previews on July 13 and officially open on August 6 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. The show is currently playing off-Broadway at The Public Theater through May 3.
Directed by Thomas Kail and featuring a book, music and lyrics by Miranda, Hamilton is inspired by the book Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow. The new musical follows the scrappy young immigrant who forever changed America, from bastard orphan to Washington's right hand man, rebel to war hero, loving husband caught in the country's first sex scandal to Treasury head who made an untrusting world believe in the American economy.
In addition to Miranda, the cast includes Jonathan Groff as King George, Christopher Jackson as George Washington, Leslie Odom Jr. as Aaron Burr, Phillipa Soo as Eliza Hamilton, Anthony Ramos as John Laurens/Phillip Hamilton, Daveed Diggs as Marquis De Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson and Renée Elise Goldsberry as Angelica Schuyler. All but Groff are confirmed for the Broadway incarnation.
