Why see Hamilton?

Do Not Throw Away Your Shot

It's the musical experience that bowled over Broadway, an all-out smash-hit epic that traverses the life of one Alexander Hamilton, one of America's Founding Fathers who took on the might of the British and won. 

Created by Tony, Grammy, and Emmy winner wunderkind Lin-Manuel Miranda (In the Heights) this razor-sharp musical mixes classic theatre, spoken word, fresh hip-hop and whip-smart writing to build a picture of the incredible visionary and the tumultuous times in which he lived. In recognition of its landmark status, it was awarded the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and scooped 11 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score and many, many more.

So, Who Is Hamilton?

Credited with being one of America's Founding Fathers and promoters of the U.S. Constitution, the extraordinary life of Alexander Hamilton saw the man rise from humble beginnings as an orphan in the West Indies to one of the most powerful men in George Washington's cabinet. But on the way, he had to contend with many obstacles, a career fraught with drama and intrigue, sex scandals, warring loyalists, and much more until finally meeting his end in a duel with one of his closest allies...

Did You Know?

Among his many achievements, Hamilton founded the New York Post, which would become the oldest newspaper in America to have been published continuously as a daily.

Obsessed!!!

Hamilton is my number one favourite musical. The cast are incredible and the harmonies when the whole cast sing just blow you away. Literally sent shivers down my spine it was so good. You will laugh, you may cry but one thing is for sure, you will have a hugely entertaining evening. The music, the talent, you definitely need to be in the room where it happens. This production will ‘blow us all away’ ... Read more

A million times better that the Disney+ version

A treat for my daughter, went as a family to Manchester, drive an hour, tram, walk, exhausted from work happy for her but I knew the story, no expected much, tied. Then the show starts, Wow! Pure talent, woke up, adrenaline rushing, amazed, mesmerized, laughing and even crying a bit. What a performance! Talented people from beginning to end, I cannot explain enough how good this show was, just flawless, back home went to sleep at 3am still buzzing. When a show make you feel like you wanted to be there, in the room where it happen, that is the sign of a great show! We are going again when it comes to Liverpool! ... Read more
