Things to Know Before You Go
Updated: Tue 14 Apr, 06:00 London time
Is there a Saturday matinee for Hamilton this weekend?
Yes — Sat 18 Apr 14:30 (tickets available).
What time does the Hamilton Sunday show start this weekend?
No Sunday performance this weekend.
What's the cheapest Hamilton performance this weekend?
From £55 (Fri).
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.
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.
