Lin-Manuel Miranda’s acclaimed musical has officially returned to Orlando’s Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, running through October 18 as part of the AdventHealth Broadway in Orlando 2026–2027 season.

Far from a dry history lecture, the show reimagines Alexander Hamilton’s journey from an impoverished immigrant to a pivotal Founding Father. By weaving together hip-hop, R&B, rap, and classic musical theater styles, the production explores timeless themes of ambition, romance, loyalty, and legacy.

Since its 2015 debut, Hamilton has transformed modern theater and earned top industry honors, including 11 Tony Awards (featuring Best Musical), a Grammy, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Key Attendee Details:

  • Run Time: Approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes (includes one intermission).
  • Age Recommendation: Best suited for ages 10 and up.
  • Special Event: A post-show Q&A with cast and crew will take place after the October 8 performance, offering insights into touring life and the logistics behind bringing the production to life.

Tickets are still available. Following its run at the Dr. Phillips Center through October 18, the national touring company will head to its next Florida destination in Tampa.
