What the critics say
““Miranda’s rollercoaster of a show boasts outstanding performances and charts the life of the US founding father with political passion and nimble wit...There are times in the second half when the show’s virtuosity becomes a little taxing...But this is a show that moves with intoxicating speed and combines historical sweep with attention to detail...An invigorating and original musical that celebrates America’s overwhelming debt to the immigrant.””
“‘Hamilton’ is stupendously good...Actually better than the hype suggests...A ferociously enjoyable show...Kail’s restaged Broadway production is confident but not flashy...The first half of the show has the most terrific sense of velocity I’ve ever experienced in a theatre production...The second half is bleaker...The ending is soulful and sad and lower-key than you might expect...The best and cleverest thing on the London stage...It is a great work of entertainment.””
“It really is as good as we’ve been told. Can you quibble that it’s a bit too cold, a bit too clever, and a bit too crammed with exposition? Perhaps, but it displays an artistic sophistication that makes most of its British counter-parts look like they’re mumbling into their shoes in comparison...The ingenious collision of contemporary sounds and 'colour-conscious' casting with period-dressed historical subject-matter makes us see this epic as a biography of the dawn of the USA itself.”
““Miranda’s exhilarating, game-changing musical...What’s brilliant about the show is its scintillating fusion of form and content. Miranda sticks closely to historical fact and musical tradition, but reframes and reclaims both...It gives the show phenomenal drive...It is also a blast: a playful and dazzling work of art, expertly delivered here by a tremendous new cast...It celebrates the virtuoso skill of rap while also calling for lyricism and dramatic interpretation.””
““”Hamilton’ is a knockout, and its cast is superb...The lyrics are densely packed, and their bristling intricacy justifies Miranda’s thesis that hip-hop is the authentic sound of the American Revolution...With its fresh take on the politics of opportunism ‘Hamilton’ feels sharply topical, but it’s also the best kind of history lesson. There are a few dramatically expedient inaccuracies, but Miranda knows which liberties are worth taking, and he makes the past exciting...Believe the hype.””
““Though nudging three-hours in length, it unfolds fluently and fast, whirring us through the scenes of Hamilton's incident-packed life...The first half has an exhilarating punch...The second is arguably even better...It is one of those rare shows where each part clicks perfectly into every other. It has a justness to it. Kail's powerful production honours the complexity of the writing, while keeping things direct and simple. There's nothing extraneous.””
“That this has all emerged from the mind of one man, Lin-Manuel Miranda, is extraordinary...That’s surely what gives the production its feeling of unity. Direction, set, choreography, lighting, and the other elements that usually transform a piece are, in this instance, barely more than light touches dabbed on the canvas so as not to disturb the masterwork underneath...Every melody and lyric that Miranda introduces has purpose beyond its initial meaning.”
“As good as the hype but not in the way I thought it would be. I wasn’t so much moved as riveted...They’re telling it loud and proud, with non-stop rap, hip-hop, R&B, bolstered with ballet, jazz dance and cartwheels. In a word, wow...Thomas Kail directs what is a blockbuster. I didn’t want the interval to happen and was sorry when the show ended. The energy comes from both the sweeping music and the choreography but, mostly, from the force of the story.”
““The saga of the American War of Independence and a look at the teething problems of a new nation are presented in the shape of a bona fide game-changer of a musical...A piece that is obviously a magnificent achievement. Miranda’s synthesis of the historical material is phenomenal, as is his supple control of the diverse musical idioms.””

The history of the Victoria Palace Theatre
The Victoria Palace Theatre first opened in 1911, designed by prolific theatre architect Frank Matcham. It replaced an earlier music hall on the same site known as Moy’s Music Hall, which dated back to the mid-1800s. From the beginning, the venue was intended to host variety performances and musicals, and its opulent Edwardian design quickly made it a favourite among audiences.
In the 20th century, the theatre became best known for long-running shows such as Me and My Girl and Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story. After a major refurbishment between 2016 and 2017—led by acclaimed theatre producer Cameron Mackintosh—the theatre reopened with Hamilton, which remains its headline production.
