About Hamilton

Hamilton dramatises the life of Alexander Hamilton, an orphaned immigrant from the West Indies who becomes George Washington's aide-de-camp during the American Revolutionary War and a principal architect of the United States' financial and governmental systems. The show follows his rise, his rivalry with Aaron Burr, who later kills him in a duel, and his personal relationships, set to a score blending hip-hop, R&B, jazz and traditional Broadway styles.

The West End production is led by the same creative team behind the original Broadway show: writer-composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, director Thomas Kail and choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler.
