"'Hamilton' is the most exciting and significant musical of the decade. Sensationally potent and theatrically vital, it is plugged straight into the wall socket of contemporary music. This show makes me feel hopeful for the future of musical theater."
The Wall Street Journal
Terry Teachout
"Historic. 'Hamilton' is brewing up a revolution. This is a show that aims impossibly high and hits its target. It's probably not possible to top the adrenaline rush."
"Sons of liberty, apprentices, the son of a …., a king, a soldier, a commander, a lawyer that long for fame and glory as they rise up and fight for independence and the future of the state of their nation "

Hamilton
"I waited a really long time to see Hamilton and I had built up the expectation of how great it would be in my mind. I finally got to see it on 2.28.26 - and I must say, it did NOT disappoint. As a matter of fact, it was better than I had imagined it would be -- and I can't wait to see it again on Broadway."

Fabulous Show!
"The actors and actresses were so believable! The two I found most entertaining were the actors playing Thomas Jefferson and King George. King George was hilarious! Also the actress playing Hamilton’s wife and her sister had great stage presence! I loved the show! "

Better than ever!
"I have seen this show 5 times over the last 10 years but last night’s performance was my favorite. My teenage daughters joined us (their second time seeing it) and we had such a great time. The actor playing Alexander Hamilton was almost as good as Lin Manuel. Special shout out to the King who was very funny and who had the stand out performance of the night. The entire show had amazing energy. It was “Kids Night Out on Broadway” and I think everyone brought their A game. Getting to sing the chorus of “My Shot” at the end was nice added touch. Bravo!"

Even better than the last time
"I saw Hamilton near the original cast about 4 years ago and of course have watched the Disney channel taped version. We saw this show with our tween as a gift for her birthday.
Wow- what a cast. They really knocked it out of the park. "

Incredible
"This is a biased review because I’ve seen the show 3 times and watch it regularly on Disney+, but every time I go in person I get pulled into the excitement and energy of the production. This show was my mom’s first time seeing it and she thought it was incredible too, so that’s the unbiased part of the review."

Exceeded Expectations
"Wow! Now I know what all the fuss was about! Tremendous singing and acting jam-packed with musical numbers and historical facts. The tempo of the show was so fast 3 hours zoomed by and I still wanted more! My daughter said this was like seeing "O" in Vegas = mind-blowing good! Pure genius."

The best broadway show I have ever seen!
"The show is a creative, artistic, and refreshing format that tells the story of the American Revolution era. I love how it surrounds the characters and vividly depicts Hamilton. American history is accurately portrayed before and after the war, in the best artistic form. I enjoyed the music and the words too. The show makes me more appreciate our founding fathers’ contributions to our nation. I’ll definitely see it again!"

BROADWAY GEM!
"Six of us went to the show. All of us had seen the original performance on a streaming platform. BUT, we all wanted to see it live. We wondered whether it would be as good without Lin-Manual and others. IT WAS FANTASTIC! All of the performers were perfectly cast for their parts. The vocals were amazing. All of the ensemble actors were equally fantastic and it was cool to watch them in addition to the leads. All six of us felt similarly that the show was perfection. Well worth it. Go see it for yourself! You'll be glad you did. It's a show that makes you puff out your chest and be proud to be an American. Don't give away your Shot!"

Amazing, Fun, All Around Great Time!
"My 13 yr old has been obsessed with Hamilton for over a year now. I surprised her with tickets and a mother/ daughter trip to the city for the weekend. I didn't know much about the play before hand, except for the songs that we have to listen to in the car, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It was amazing! The singing was so good, the story was fun to follow, and I loved the "adult" jokes told during the rapping parts. I also love history, so it was great to learn about Hamilton and Burr more indepth. I highly recommend this show! I'm now a huge Hamilton fan too!"

Great vocals and harmony
"The rapping was a bit fast so didn’t get all the words but got the gist of Hamiltons life. The important thing for me was the music and vocals and choreography that was amazing. Everyone was on pitch and gave an emotional performance. The band was amazing and synchronized perfectly. Will return. "
