After showings in the world’s most famous locations as well as Broadway itself and London’s West End, Hamilton will now also be performing for a limited season this fall in Hollywood Pantages Theatre of Los Angeles, an equally renowned theatre acclaimed for its top facilities fit to present top-of-the-line plays and shows.

Hamilton honors the life of Alexander Hamilton, conceptualized and composed by the multi-talented Lin-Manuel Miranda, basing it off the 2004 biography of Ron Chernow. It retells the real story of Hamilton himself in a ‘hipper’ manner, being faithful to the facts behind his life but with and musical styles that makes this production very entertaining. The show initially began off Broadway in August of 2015 and was instantly met with excellent reviews from its premier. Among a variety of press articles and audiences, The Washington Post, called it “making ecstatic history”, as the show’s performance with its excellent cast which included the likes of show creator Lin-Manuel Miranda himself in the lead role and Tony Award winner Jonathan Groff, astounded audiences in its premiere with a memorable performance. The Musical went on over the next decade to earn eleven Tony Awards from sixteen nominations, as well as Olivier, Grammy, and Pulitzer Prize Awards.

Since it began in 2015, Hamilton has also gone on to be performed in numerous theaters across the world, where it has been getting continuously great reviews. BroadwayWorld calls Hamilton “the hottest ticket in town”, as it lends itself to a bigger range in audience because of being relatable to both the more mature audiences who appreciate the history behind the production, and the newer generations that hears about the new and artistic approach behind this Musical. Over in London’s West End, TimeOut had concerns over the production being overhyped, 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”. More so, recently with a 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 audiences alike agree that Hamilton is a must-attend this fall as it kicks off its tour all over America.
