Hamilton at Bass Concert Hall

Musical producer Lin-Manuel Miranda, fresh off his success from his previous Broadway show, In the Heights, conceptualized Hamilton for a number of years before it premiered in the Richard Rodgers Theatre in 2015. It was in this debut that Miranda also played the role of Hamilton. The whole Musical, including its brilliant cast and spectacular score received extremely regarded feedback from both critics and new fans alike.

The Musical, as you might know, is a historical tale that centers on one of the Countries Founding Fathers, but the production takes a contemporary and forward-thinking approach, as seen in the music genres chosen and particularly in its diverse casting. Also, the 2016 Tony Awards, where Hamilton took home 11 out of 16 nominations, is a display of its success. the production’s debut cast was made up of the actors, Philippa Soo, Leslie Odom Jr., and Jonathan Groff. Individually, the cast was already filled with both well-known nominees and awardees, but their wide range and strong performances taken collectively brought Hamilton to a brand-new level. The creative team, just as incredibly talented, collected 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 70th Tony Awards. Additionally, and unsurprisingly, the show also won Best Musical for 2016. The present cast and production crew in each new entertainment venue where Hamilton is put on brings the same energy and enthusiasm in their nights, with overwhelming positive reviews maintained regularly.

Hamilton’s meteoric rise to fame led to opening many doors all over the world for audiences to experience the Musical. It has continued for the past ten years to perform not just on Broadway, but also across the pond in the U.K. and in various locations across Asia. The production’s limited season will be heading to Austin throughout March (and on Friday 28th March 2025) at Bass Concert Hall, selling out at one more world-class stage with the best facilities and sound engineering that rivals even Broadway and West End theaters.
