The multi award-winning musical Hamilton opens for a six-week season at Theatre Royal Plymouth next week.

Hamilton is the story of America then, told by America now. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway, Hamilton has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theatre - a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education.

The groundbreaking production charts the rise of Hamilton. As an immigrant to America, it tells the story of how he climbed his way to become one of America's Founding Fathers and invent the American Financial system through the strength of his writing.

With book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, Hamilton is based on Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography.

The Hamilton creative team previously collaborated on the Tony Award-Winning Best Musical In the Heights. It features scenic design by David Korins, costume design by Paul Tazewell, lighting design by Howell Binkley, sound design by Nevin Steinberg and hair and wig design by Charles G. LaPointe.
