Hamilton is coming to Orange County and I can’t tell you how much excitement is in the air surrounding the award-winning musical! Inspired by the 2004 biography Alexander Hamilton, the musical details the life of the American Statesman and United States Founding Father. The show is widely popular and has been selling out in each of the cities where it has debuted. In anticipation of the show’s Orange County run, here is a quick rundown of How to Get Tickets to Hamilton at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts.
Hamilton
Hamilton is a musical about the life of Alexander Hamilton and features music, lyrics, and book by Lin-Manuel Miranda. The show features hip-hop, rhythm and blues, pop music, soul music, and traditional-style show tunes and the cast incorporates non-white actors as the Founding Fathers and prominent historical figures during this time in American history. Hamilton is based on the biography by Ron Chernow and details the life of our Founding Father. As an immigrant from the West Indies, Hamilton became the right hand man to president George Washington during the Revolutionary War and was the nation’s first Treasury Secretary. “Hamilton is the story of American then, as told by America now.”
Hamilton is recommended for adults and children 10 and older. The show’s run time is 2 hours and 45 minutes (including intermission)
