Here is a great news update for "Hamilton" fans in Boston. The hip-hop musical is coming to the Boston Opera House in September 2018. It will run for two months over there until November 18. On Monday, Broadway in Boston made the announcement regarding the show about the "Founding Fathers" of the United States.
The Tony-winning show started its first national tour in San Francisco last week. It is set to visit a number of cities, which include Seattle, San Diego, and Los Angeles. The resident production of the show takes place in Chicago with a separate set of actors.
Broadway in Boston announced its 2017-18 season that will feature touring company performances, which include Fun Home (Oct. 17-29, 2017), Love Never Dies (Jan. 30-Feb. 11, 2018), Waitress (Feb. 20-March 4, 2018), On Your Feet! (April 17-29, 2018), Disney's Aladdin (July 3-Aug. 5, 2018) and Hamilton (Sept. 18-Nov. 18, 2018). It is possible to buy a subscription for these shows on its official website. The information about public ticket and single ticket sales will be declared later on.
According to Boston Globe, "Hamilton" happens to be the most eagerly awaited shows of these all. The multiethnic cast has made a cultural phenomenon. The show has got rave reviews from critics and prominent figures like former U.S. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama. It has also smashed box office records.
According to Broadway In Boston spokeswoman Ann Sheehan, the organization had an increased interest in season subscriptions, after it announced last year that "Hamilton" was expected to take place in the 17/18 season. Sheehan said that the organization expected the trend would continue. "The interest in subscriptions for the 17/18 season is very high," she said.
"Hamilton" is based on Ron Chernow's biography of Alexander Hamilton, one of the "Founding Fathers" of the United States. The musical, which is about the key role immigrants played in the American Revolution, is often viewed as a political statement under the Trump presidency.
