Hamilton is the story of America then, told by America now.  Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway, Hamilton has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theatre—a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education.

Hamilton will play at Birmingham Hippodrome from Tuesday 25 June to Saturday 31 August 2024. Tickets can be booked at birminghamhippodrome.com
