Hamilton at Hollywood Pantages Theatre

Production writer Lin-Manuel Miranda, fresh off his success from his previous Broadway production, In the Heights, conceptualized Hamilton for a number of years before it premiered in the Richard Rodgers Theatre in 2015. It was in this opening that he also played the lead role. The whole production, including its brilliant cast and epic score received extremely regarded feedback from both critics and the audiences alike.

Hamilton, as you might know, is a historical tale based off one of the Nations Founding Fathers, but the show takes a new and forward-thinking approach, as seen in the music genres used and especially in its multicultural cast. Plus, the 70th Tony Awards, where the production was awarded 11 out of 16 nominations, is a testament to its success. Hamilton’s first cast consisted of the actors and actresses, Philippa Soo, Leslie Odom Jr., and Jonathan Groff. Individually, the cast was already filled with both notable nominees and awardees, but their varied and memorable performances collected together brought the production to a brand-new level. The creative team, just as incredibly talented, earned 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 topped the 2016 Tony Awards. Above all and unsurprisingly, Hamilton also took home Best Musical for the year. The current cast and production crew in each new venue where the production is put on brings the same passion and enthusiasm in their performances, with glowing reviews maintained consistently.

The production’s meteoric rise to fame led to opening many doors worldwide for audiences to experience Hamilton. It has continued for the past 10 years to perform not just in the U.S.A., but also over in the UK's West End and in a number of theaters across Asia. The show’s touring production will be making its way to Los Angeles throughout October (and on Saturday 12th October 2024) at Hollywood Pantages Theatre, selling out at yet another world-class stage with the finest facilities and sound engineering that rivals even Broadway and West End theaters.
