In addition to its 11 Tony Awards, it has won Grammy®, Olivier Awards, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and an unprecedented special citation from the Kennedy Center Honors.

"There were so many great things that stood out to me during the show. Tremendous acting, singing and choreography on display. The dialogue, songs and dance movement all move at a fast pace, keeping the audience attentive and engaged from start to finish. Well written, directed and performed, this show will bring laughter and tears while telling the story of Hamilton and his place in history as one of our founding fathers."

"Was in NYC week of Oct. 14 for my 70th birthday and to see 3 shows. Started coming to Broadway shows in 1975 and first show was A Chorus Line--which I thought nothing could ever be better than this. However, after seeing more than 40 Broadway Shows, Hamilton was extraordinary and stands on equal footing with Wicked and Phantom of the Opera. Hamilton was beautifully written and the cast was superior. Run don't walk to see this show. "

"This was my first time seeing a show on Broadway and I'm so glad I started with Hamilton. I've watched it on TV and it was great but obviously in person was just amazing. The cast are so talented could not tell you my favorite they were all so good. Also I really liked the theater comfortable seats and the sound and lighting were very good. Would definitely recommend seeing this show."

"We came for a long weekend with the sole intent of seeing this show. We’ve tried before but missed the show when our flight was delayed. Anyone with concerns about the cast can put them to rest, the current 2024 cast is incredible. Simply put, it was worth every penny. Must see."

"My daughter (age 15) loves musical theatre. She has loved Hamilton since seeing it on Disney +. We finally got the opportunity to see it live and it did not disappoint. It was excellent. The talent of the performers was exceptional and their grace in greeting fans afterwards was amazing. Thank you for an all around wonderful experience."

"It’s singing and rapping the story. I found even if I lost some of the words the flow of it was great and could follow the story without issues. Epic sound and choreography at the right moments to make it feel very intense and engaging, with some good light hearted moments too. Really great modern sounding music that for me helps in a big way to shake any feeling of (a perhaps unfairly) old school pretentiousness I’ve sometimes associated with visiting a theatre in the past. I loved that it’s set in New York and I watched on broadway too, this really added to it (and I’m from the uk). Fantastic 10/10 would go again. More like this!"

"Lin-Manuel Miranda's play is a masterpiece! The cast, orchestra, staging and sound were absolutely perfect. And most importantly, Hamilton is historically accurate and drives home the importance of tenaciously holding onto our democracy. "

"I loved the high octane performances. It was full on action from the start. I am sure I would need to see it more than once to catch everything. Great music. Humor and more complex life themes all mixed together. Amazing how they fuse the history with contemporary music making it available to and loved by the young and old alike. A great show. "

"I, along with my wife and adult daughter, enjoyed the show immensely. The music, the singing, the dance - all spectacular. A friend had suggested that we listen to the soundtrack and follow along with the lyrics so that we would be familiar with the story before attending the performance. This would allow us to "meet" the characters beforehand and enjoy the music and dance without having to try and decipher the words as they were being sung. We followed this suggestion and found it to be extremely helpful. My wife's concerns that it would ruin the experience were eliminated as soon as the show opened. We laughed, we cried, we clapped and cheered. Even knowing what was coming next, we were continually surprised and enchanted by the action on the stage. It was a fantastic experience."

"I cried 5 times! Four out of pure joy that I was there, and once because the acting was incredible! The actors were devoted to their characters, and I believe that cast was better than the original! They all had such strong voices, and everybody was enjoyable to watch, including the ensemble. The reason I do not recommend this show for children is because there is foul language, sensitive content, and things children should not see. I would say to see the show, you should be eleven or older."

"A great show with marvelous acting and choreography. The show comes at you at 60 miles an hour, hitting the highlights of the American revolution in a unique way with the storyline and songs orbiting around Hamilton. You will enjoy every minute of it. Now, where did I put my Alexander Hamilton book by Ron Chernow?"

"Even though the kids and I have seen the show on T.V. and have sung along to the lyrics on road trips, we were blown away by the performance. From the lighting and sound quality to the powerful voices, we couldn't have been more impressed. We laughed, we cried and made an incredible memory we will cherish forever. Well done!"
