Wait for It! Hamilton: The Exhibition, a 360-degree immersive exhibit blending American history with the Tony-winning hit musical Hamilton, will travel to select U.S. cities after debuting in Chicago this fall. The exhibition will begin on November 17 for a limited engagement on Northerly Island, where the musical has played a sold-out run since 2016.

Additional cities and dates for Hamilton: The Exhibition will be announced at a later date.
