Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award winner Lin Manuel Miranda's popular musical, "Hamilton," is set to come to the Fisher Theatre in Detroit next year.
The play will run from March 12-April 21, 2019, and tickets will be tough to come by, and are not yet on sale. Some people suggest the best way to get them is to buy season tickets for seven shows for the Fisher, which cost $410-$875 and go on sale April 27.
The website Detroit Theater writes:
The biggest Broadway show since "The Book of Mormon" has hit the road on its first national tour.
Written by Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award winner Lin Manuel Miranda, "Hamilton" is a true landmark of American culture, tearing up the musical theatre rulebook with a score that is equal parts Sondheim and Notorious B.I.G., and a cast of ethnically diverse actors in the roles of the Founding Fathers. The story centers on Alexander Hamilton, one of our most important (and colorful) characters, who rose from his humble orphaned beginnings to play a major role in making America the country it is today.
"Hamilton" made its New York debut off-Broadway at the Public Theater in 2015, where it was met with universal acclaim and was extended three times due to public demand. It lost none of its potency in the subsequent Broadway transfer, with Ben Brantley of the New York Times writing it was "changing the language of musicals". President Obama himself deemed it good enough for not one but two visits.
In 2016, it won the Pulitzer Prize for drama and scooped 11 Tony Awards, including best musical, best score and many more!
