Hamilton at Keller Auditorium

After showings in the world’s most famous theaters including Broadway itself and London’s West End, Hamilton will now also be playing for a limited season this March in Keller Auditorium of Portland, an especially famous entertainment venue known for its unrivaled amenities fit to present top-of-the-line plays and shows.

Hamilton honors the life of Alexander Hamilton, conceptualized and composed by the multi-talented Lin-Manuel Miranda, basing it off the 2004 biography of Ron Chernow. It tells the real times of Hamilton himself in a ‘hipper’ style, staying faithful to the events behind his life but with creative direction and musical scoring that makes this Musical highly entertaining. The production actually began off Broadway in the late summer of 2015 and was instantly met with stunning reviews from its opening night. Along with numerous critics and reviewers, The Washington Post, called it “making ecstatic history”, as the production’s performance with its stunning cast that included the likes of show creator Lin-Manuel Miranda himself in the lead role and Tony Award winner Jonathan Groff, wowed audiences in its debut with a spectacular production. Hamilton went on over the next decade to collect 11 Tony Awards from sixteen nominations, as well as Olivier, Grammy, and Pulitzer Prize Awards.

Since it began in 2015, Hamilton has toured to be performed in numerous locations across the globe, where it has been getting continuously positive reviews. BroadwayWorld calls Hamilton “the hottest ticket in town”, as it lends itself to a bigger range in audience because of being understandable to both the more seasoned audiences who came for the history behind Hamilton, and the younger audiences that wanted the new and artistic approach behind this show. Across in the U.K.'s London’s West End, TimeOut had concerns over the Musical being overly hyped up, but that “Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical about Alexander Hamilton, the first secretary of the U.S. Treasury, is actually better than the hype suggests”. Additionally, recently with a touring cast in its Manila, Philippines’ performance, PEP PH describes Hamilton as a “visual and sensory feast that adds layers of depth to the narrative”; “This musical is a masterpiece not because it tells a flawless story, but because it brilliantly captures the essence of the imperfect human experience, and in doing so, it achieves perfection on the stage”, they stated.

Newspaper critics and viewers alike agree that Hamilton is a must-see this spring as it picks up its tour all over America.
