The Tony, Grammy, Olivier, and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical HAMILTON is set to captivate audiences as it makes its long-awaited premiere in Singapore today.

The Singapore engagement for the international tour of HAMILTON commences at Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands. Singapore is the third city on HAMILTON’s first-ever international tour following its sold-out debut in Manila in September and a season in Abu Dhabi in January.

“Good things come to those who wait, and I know HAMILTON’s Singapore fans have been waiting patiently for this moment to arrive,” said Michael Cassel, producer of HAMILTON’s international tour. “The Singapore audiences responded with such warmth, enthusiasm and generosity – we couldn’t be more thrilled and we are ecstatic to bring the revolution to Singapore for the very first time.”

Chantal Prudhomme, Chief Executive Officer of Base Entertainment Asia, HAMILTON’s Singapore presenter said, “The excitement around HAMILTON’s premiere in Singapore has been tremendous. People here have been excitedly awaiting the opportunity to see this amazing production and this is our promised commitment to deliver world-class entertainment in Singapore. We are honoured to be part of making this long-awaited dream a reality”.

HAMILTON premiered on Broadway in August 2015 to wide critical and audience acclaim. The show has won Tony®, Grammy®, and Olivier Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway, HAMILTON has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theatre – a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics and education.

With book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, HAMILTON is based on Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography.

Hamilton is a groundbreaking musical created by Lin-Manuel Miranda that premiered on Broadway in 2015. It tells the story of Alexander Hamilton, one of America’s Founding Fathers, through a unique blend of hip-hop, R&B, pop, and traditional musical theater styles. The musical draws inspiration from Ron Chernow’s biography “Alexander Hamilton” and chronicles Hamilton’s rise from his humble beginnings as an orphaned immigrant to his pivotal role in shaping the United States as a nation.

At its core, Hamilton is a story about ambition, resilience, and the pursuit of legacy. It explores themes of immigration, identity, politics, and the complexities of human relationships, all set against the backdrop of the American Revolution and the early years of the United States.

The musical begins with Alexander Hamilton’s arrival in New York City in the late 18th century and follows his journey as he becomes embroiled in the revolutionary fervor sweeping the colonies. Along the way, Hamilton forms friendships with key historical figures such as Aaron Burr, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson, while also facing personal and political challenges that shape his beliefs and values.

Central to the narrative is Hamilton’s fraught relationship with Aaron Burr, his rival and eventual adversary. Their conflicting ideologies and ambitions culminate in a fateful duel that has reverberations throughout American history.

Miranda’s innovative storytelling and masterful lyrics breathe new life into the historical narrative, presenting the Founding Fathers as complex, multifaceted characters grappling with the weight of their decisions and the legacy they leave behind. Through its diverse cast and contemporary musical language, Hamilton reimagines the past for a modern audience, inviting viewers to reflect on the enduring relevance of America’s founding principles and the ongoing pursuit of freedom and equality.

Beyond its artistic achievements, Hamilton has garnered widespread acclaim for its cultural impact, sparking conversations about representation in theater and redefining the possibilities of storytelling on stage. With its infectious music, compelling characters, and thought-provoking themes, Hamilton continues to captivate audiences around the world, cementing its place as a landmark achievement in the history of musical theater.
