Hamilton at Orpheum Theatre

After performances in the world’s most celebrated locations such as Broadway itself and London’s West End, Hamilton will now also be on tour for a limited season this spring in Orpheum Theatre of Omaha, an especially regarded venue acclaimed for its favorite amenities fit to present top-of-the-line productions and shows.

Hamilton honors the life of Alexander Hamilton, conceptualized and composed by the multi-talented Lin-Manuel Miranda, based off the 2004 biography of Ron Chernow. It retells the historical story of Alexander Hamilton in a ‘hipper’ format, remaining dedicated to the truth behind Hamilton's life but with artistic flair and musical choices that makes this show very entertaining. Hamilton really began off Broadway in mid 2015 and was immediately met with magnificent reviews from its opening night. Along with a number of press articles and reviewers, The Washington Post, called it “making ecstatic history”, as the production’s performance with its magnificent cast which included the likes of show creator Lin-Manuel Miranda himself in the lead role and Tony Award winner Jonathan Groff, wowed audiences in its debut with a memorable performance. Hamilton went on over the next decade to win 11 Tony Awards from 16 nominations, plus Olivier, Grammy, and Pulitzer Prize Awards.

Ever since its debut, the show has since traveled to be performed in several entertainment venues across the globe, where it has been receiving continuously great reviews. BroadwayWorld calls Hamilton “the hottest ticket in town”, as it appeals to a wider range in audience because of being understandable to both the older audiences who were interested in the history behind Hamilton, and the newer audiences that wanted the exciting and innovative approach behind Hamilton. Across in the U.K.'s London’s West End, TimeOut mentions their worry behind the show being overly hyped up, 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”. Even just recently with a touring cast in its Manila, Philippines’ performance, PEP PH describes Hamilton 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.

Magazine critics and audiences alike agree that the production is a must-watch this spring as it kicks off its runs all over the world.
