Hamilton at Hollywood Pantages Theatre

After tours in the world’s most popular locations including Broadway itself and London’s West End, Hamilton will now also be on tour for a limited season this fall in Hollywood Pantages Theatre of Los Angeles, an equally renowned entertainment venue renown for its unrivaled amenities fit to present top-of-the-line productions and shows.

The show honors the life of Alexander Hamilton, conceptualized and composed by the multi-talented Lin-Manuel Miranda, based off the 2004 biography of Ron Chernow. It retells the real life of Alexander Hamilton in a ‘hipper’ style, remaining dedicated to the truth behind his life but with creative direction and musical scoring that makes Hamilton largely entertaining. The show initially began off Broadway in mid 2015 and was instantly met with unbelievable reviews from its opening night. As well as a variety of press articles and reviewers, The Washington Post, called it “making ecstatic history”, as the show’s performance with its unbelievable cast including the likes of Lin-Manuel Miranda himself in the title role and Tony Award winner Jonathan Groff, wowed audiences in its debut with a memorable production. The production went on over the next decade to win eleven Tony Awards from sixteen nominations, plus Olivier, Grammy, and Pulitzer Prize Awards.

Since it began in 2015, the show has also gone on to be performed in dozens of venues around the globe, where it has been receiving continuously great reviews. BroadwayWorld calls Hamilton “the hottest ticket in town”, as it lends itself to a broad range in audience because of being accessible to both the older generations who came for the history behind Hamilton, and the newer generations that came for the new and creative concept behind this production. In London’s West End, TimeOut mentions their worry behind the show being overblown, but that “Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical about Alexander Hamilton, the first secretary of the U.S. Treasury, is actually better than the hype suggests”. Additionally, recently the touring cast in its Manila, Philippines’ performance, PEP PH describes the Musical as a “visual and sensory feast that adds layers of depth to the narrative”; “This musical is a masterpiece not because it tells a flawless story, but because it brilliantly captures the essence of the imperfect human experience, and in doing so, it achieves perfection on the stage”, they expanded.

Both critics and viewers alike agree that the show is a must-watch this fall as it kicks off its performances all over America.
