Hamilton in New York: Richard Rodgers Theatre on August 22, 2026

Why This Concert Matters

Hamilton has remained one of the most influential and successful Broadway productions since its debut and continues its resident run at the Richard Rodgers Theatre more than a decade after its premiere. Interest in the production is especially strong following major cast changes in May 2026, with Marcus John as Alexander Hamilton, Lauren Mariasoosay as Eliza Hamilton, Lencia Kebede as Angelica Schuyler, Amina Faye as Peggy Schuyler/Maria Reynolds, and Wallace Smith portraying Hercules Mulligan/James Madison.

Christopher Jackson has also returned to the production for a limited engagement to reprise his role as George Washington, which he played in the original cast. The production continues to feature Lin-Manuel Miranda's original score, blending hip-hop, R&B, pop, and traditional musical theater styles to tell the story of Alexander Hamilton, one of America's Founding Fathers.

Timing & Venue

The performance takes place on Saturday, August 22, 2026, at 1:00 PM EST at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, located at 226 West 46th Street, New York, NY 10036.

The performance is part of the original Broadway Open-Run Resident Production, rather than a touring production. The Richard Rodgers Theatre has served as the production's flagship Broadway home since it opened there on August 6, 2015.

Hamilton and New York

Hamilton's history in New York began before its Broadway debut, when the city hosted the show's world premiere off-Broadway at The Public Theater in January 2015. The production then officially opened on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on August 6, 2015, which has remained its primary home ever since, apart from the Broadway shutdown between March 2020 and September 2021.

Current Tour Context

The current performance is part of the original, ongoing Broadway resident production at the Richard Rodgers Theatre rather than a traveling national tour. The production continues to use Lin-Manuel Miranda's original score, which combines hip-hop, R&B, pop, and traditional showtunes to tell the story of Alexander Hamilton.

What to Expect

Hamilton is presented as a two-act musical with an approximate running time of 2 hours and 45 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission. Opening acts are not part of the production's standard Broadway format.

The show follows a fixed musical sequence consisting of 46 numbered tracks performed in chronological order, beginning with "Alexander Hamilton" and concluding with "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story."
