Things to Know Before You Go
Do I need to know American history to enjoy Hamilton?
No. The storytelling is clear enough that you can follow the relationships, politics and rivalries without any prior knowledge of American history. If you do know the period, you will simply catch a few extra references and jokes.
Is Hamilton suitable for children and teenagers?
Hamilton includes strong language, rapid-fire lyrics and some mature themes such as violence and infidelity. It is generally recommended for older children and teenagers rather than very young audiences. Check the age guidance when booking and consider whether the subject matter is right for your family.
How long is Hamilton and is there an interval?
Hamilton usually runs for around two hours and forty-five minutes, including one interval. The pace is fast, but the break in the middle gives you time to stretch your legs and discuss the first act.
Where is Hamilton playing in London?
Hamilton is performed at the Victoria Palace Theatre, a historic venue just across the road from London Victoria station. It is easy to reach by National Rail, Tube and numerous bus routes, making it convenient if you are travelling into central London for the evening.
What kind of music should I expect in Hamilton?
The score mixes hip-hop, R&B, pop, jazz and traditional musical theatre, often within the same song. You will hear everything from rap battles and intricate ensemble numbers to intimate ballads and big finale moments, all performed by a live band.
Is Hamilton very loud or intense?
Hamilton is an energetic production with amplified music, fast lyrics and some onstage gunshots. If you are sensitive to loud environments, you may wish to bring discreet ear protection, but most audience members find the sound design exciting rather than overwhelming.
About this show
Step into the candlelit world of revolution, rivalry and reinvention as Hamilton retells the life of Alexander Hamilton, the Caribbean-born outsider who helped shape a new nation. At the beautifully restored Victoria Palace Theatre, a company of actor-singers deliver breakneck storytelling through rapid-fire lyrics, razor-sharp choreography and a live band that never stops driving the action forward. From cabinet meetings staged as rap battles to tender ballads of love, loss and legacy, this is a revolutionary musical about ambition, legacy and power. With a score that fuses hip-hop, R&B, jazz and classic Broadway, Hamilton feels both historical and startlingly modern, making the story clear even if you know nothing about American politics. It is a bold, thoughtful night out that leaves you humming the melodies and debating the characters long after the final note.
