Broadway’s Hamilton coming to Milwaukee as part of national tour

Producer Jeffrey Seller and the Marcus Center announced that the musical Hamilton will play in Milwaukee as part of the 2019-2020 season.

With book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical direction and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, Hamilton is based on Ron Chernow’s biography of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B, and Broadway, Hamilton is the story of America then, as told by America now.
