The 11 Tony award-winning musical production of "Hamilton" concludes after more than a three-year run in Chicago at Broadway In Chicago's CIBC Theatre today, January 5.
According to BroadwayWorld, the Windy City was the first city outside New York back in 2016, where Hamilton opened and after 171-week run, more than a total of 1,300 performances will have taken place.
During its Chicago engagement, from September 2016 to January 2020, "Hamilton" will have been attended by more than 2.6 million people, a number nearly equal to the population (2.7 million) of the city.
Producer Jeffrey Seller said in a news release that more people have seen "Hamilton" in Chicago than in any other city. He added "you can bet that 'we'll be back.'"
With book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, the musical "Hamilton" is directed by Thomas Kail, choreographed by Andy Blankenbuehler, with music direction/orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire. "Hamilton" is based on Ron Chernow's biography of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton.
