Hamilton at Kansas City Music Hall

Production creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, fresh off the huge success from his last Broadway production, In the Heights, conceptualized Hamilton for a few years before it debuted in the Richard Rodgers Theatre in 2015. It was in this first run that he also acted the lead role. The entire production, including its talented cast and smashing score received extremely regarded reviews from both critics and new fans alike.

The show, as almost all know, is a historical story created about one of the Countries Founding Fathers, but Hamilton takes a contemporary and modern approach, as seen in the music genres chosen and especially in its multicultural cast. Plus, the 2016 Tony Awards, where the Musical collected 11 out of 16 nominations, is a testament to its success. Hamilton’s first cast was made up of the actors and actresses, Philippa Soo, Leslie Odom Jr., and Jonathan Groff. Individually, the cast was already filled with both well-known nominees and previous award winners, but their varied and strong performances collected together brought Hamilton to a brand-new level. The creative team, just as extremely talented, collected Tony Awards for the production. 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 Lin-Manuel Miranda himself for Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical, all topped the 2016 Tony Awards. Additionally, and unsurprisingly, the production also grabbed Best Musical for the year. The current cast and production crew in each new location where the show is performed brings the same grit and inspiration in their runs, with glowing reviews maintained regularly.

Hamilton’s meteoric rise to fame led to opening many doors all over the world for the fans to experience the show. It has continued for the past 10 years to perform not just in the U.S.A., but also across the pond in the U.K. and in various entertainment venues across Asia. Hamilton’s limited season will be heading to Kansas City throughout February (and on Tuesday 24th February 2026) at Music Hall Kansas City, performing at one more world-class stage with the greatest facilities and sound engineering that rivals even Broadway and West End theaters.
