About the show
Hamilton tells the story of Alexander Hamilton — penniless orphan, revolutionary, Treasury Secretary, founding father — through a hip-hop and R&B score that recast the Broadway musical for a generation. Lin-Manuel Miranda's eleven-Tony-winner has played the Richard Rodgers since 2015. A decade in, it's still one of the toughest seats on Broadway, and the $10 Ham4Ham digital lottery is the cheapest legal shot at a great seat.
Content advisory: Recommended for ages 10+. Some strong language, brief sexuality references, and a duel. The themes — politics, revolution, infidelity — land best for older kids and adults.
