SMASH hit show Hamilton is coming to Bradford's Alhambra theatre for a seven-week season.

Further dates have been announced for the first ever UK and Ireland tour of the Olivier, Tony, Grammy and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical - and it will be at the Alhambra from January 28 to March 15, 2025.

A brand new company for the tour is currently being assembled from more than 3,000 hopeful artists. The cast will be announced soon.

Hamilton is "the story of America then, told by America now". Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway, it has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theatre - a musical that producers say has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education.

The production opened in 2017 at the newly restored Victoria Palace Theatre in London, where it continues to play to sell-out houses and is currently booking until March 2, 2024. The show continues to play to record-breaking houses on Broadway, throughout America, Canada Australia and Germany with forthcoming seasons in New Zealand an international tour also planned.

With book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hamiltoin is based on Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography. The creative team previously collaborated on the Tony Award-winning Best Musical, In the Heights.
