Chicago theatre lovers, get ready to raise a glass to freedom once again! Broadway In Chicago has announced the triumphant return of the groundbreaking musical Hamilton to Chicago.

Hamilton In Chicago

Prepare to be swept away by the revolutionary story of Alexander Hamilton, the unlikely Founding Father whose ambition, passion, and intellect shaped the course of a new nation. Based on Ron Chernow's acclaimed biography and brought to life by Lin-Manuel Miranda's ingenious blend of hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and Broadway, Hamilton is more than just a musical - it's a cultural phenomenon.

Chicago holds a special place in the Hamilton narrative. Following its Broadway debut, the city was the first to host a dedicated, open-ended run of the production. From 2016 to 2020, the Chicago company captivated over 2.5 million audience members, becoming a significant cultural and economic driver for the Loop. Now, after much anticipation, this theatrical powerhouse is set to ignite the CIBC Theatre stage once more.

Hamilton boasts a stellar creative team, including direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire. The production's accolades are extensive, including 11 Tony Awards, Grammy and Olivier Awards, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and a special citation from the Kennedy Center Honors. The visually stunning production features scenic design by David Korins, costume design by Paul Tazewell, and lighting design by the late Howell Binkley.

This return engagement offers a new chance for theatregoers, and devoted fans alike, the chance to experience the energy and brilliance of Hamilton. It's a contemporary retelling of American history, exploring themes of ambition, legacy, and the complexities of forging a nation.

While individual tickets will go on sale later this year, eager theatre enthusiasts can take advantage of group ticket sales, which are available now. Don't miss your shot to witness the revolutionary impact of Hamilton when it returns to Chicago in the spring of 2026. Get ready to be in the room where it happens, Chicago!
