Durham, N.C. -- It's one of the most talked about musicals in history and one of the most sought after tickets on Broadway, but now you won't have to head north to New York to catch “Hamilton” on stage.
However, to guarantee tickets to the much anticipated shows, DPAC officials say you have to buy season seats for the SunTrust Broadway 2017/2018 season.
Based on Ron Chernow’s biography of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, “Hamilton” is the story of America's Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington's right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and was the new nation’s first Treasury Secretary. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B, and Broadway, "Hamilton" is the story of America then, as told by America now.
For information on “Hamilton”, visit its website, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
