The national tour of Hamilton is on its way to Providence, with performances starting next Wednesday on December 11 and running through Sunday, December 22 at the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC). This will be the second return engagement of Hamilton at PPAC; the Theatre has presented the cultural phenomenon in 2019 and 2021.
In approximately three hours, Hamilton tells the epic saga of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton as he fights for honor and love and creates a legacy that would shape the course of our nation. Based on Ron Chernow’s biography, A. Hamilton’s story is told through a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway. Hamilton features book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire.
