The Revolution Is Coming! We are proud to announce Hamilton, the Tony®, Grammy®, Olivier and Pulitzer Prize winning production, will make its Middle East premiere in Abu Dhabi next year, with a 3-week run at Etihad Arena, Yas Island, from January 17 to February 4, 2024. Pre-sale tickets will go on sale on Friday May 19 with general on-sale tickets available on Monday May 22.
HAMILTON premiered on Broadway in August 2015 to wide critical and audience acclaim and has gone on to play seasons in London’s West End, Australia, Germany and will soon embark on an international tour, premiering in New Zealand and the Philippines before it arrives to debut in Abu Dhabi.
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.
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 and is the story of America then told by America now.
Lin-Manuel Miranda’s global phenomenon has been captivating fans across the world since it burst to life in 2015 and has received an array of accolades including 11 Tony Awards®, seven Olivier Awards, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album.
HAMILTON’S Middle East debut further establishes Abu Dhabi’s commitment to continuing the development and growth of the theatre scene in the region.
