In likely what will be the most important “save the date” of the year for theater-lovers, Hamilton will make its Middle East premiere with a 3-week run at Etihad Arena, Yas Island, from January 17 to February 4, 2024.
If you somehow managed to miss the hype around this Tony, Grammy, Olivier, and Pulitzer Prize-winning production, let me give you a quick rundown.
Hamilton is credited for putting the show’s writer and director Lin-Manuel Miranda on the map, garnering world-wide praise for its diverse cast, fresh take on history, and hugely innovative use of music.
The show has been a cultural phenomenon since its Broadway debut in 2015, selling out theaters across the globe in London’s West End and Australia; winning over audiences with its unforgettably original music. By blending Hip-Hop, Jazz, RnB and Musical Theatre, “Hamilton is a story of America then, told by America now”, says Miranda.
With tickets starting at AED 180, the bellowing 18 thousand seat Arena will be carefully transformed into an intimate theatre setting, to show the UAE audience why the production has earned itself an unprecedented 11 Tony Award wins.
