Hamilton is the genre-redefining, multi-award-winning musical that tells the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton through hip-hop, R&B and traditional show tunes. A cultural phenomenon, it remains one of the hardest and most rewarding tickets in the West End.
About the show
Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hamilton reframes the American Revolution with a diverse cast and a relentless, brilliant score. It is wordy and fast, best for older children and adults. A daily online lottery offers a chance at cut-price seats, covered in our cheap theatre tickets guide.
Where to see it and tickets
Hamilton London plays at the Victoria Palace Theatre in the heart of the West End. Tickets are sold through the official theatre and authorised agents; book ahead for weekends and school holidays. For the cheapest seats, see our guide to cheap theatre tickets, and make an evening of it with things to do in London at night.
Good to know
Arrive 30 minutes early, dress is smart-casual (anything goes in the West End), and most musicals run around two and a half hours with an interval. Pair it with dinner from our restaurants guides and a pre-theatre table in Covent Garden or Soho.
