Update: Playhouse Square confirmed this morning that “Hamilton” is coming to Cleveland as part of the theater’s 2017-2018 Broadway series.
When exactly? Not announced yet.

Can you buy tickets now? No, but you can guarantee your spot by getting Playhouse Square season tickets.

Will individual tickets be sold later? For sure. (But those are bound to go fast.)

How much will tickets be? Not announced yet.

Will there be a ticket lottery? Not announced yet.

So, yeah, scant details, but good news.

(Original story 6/14/16): This little tease of an email was blasted out by Playhouse Square Sunday night right around the Tony Awards. What does it mean? Surely that world-beating, record-setting, beloved Broadway darling “Hamilton” is coming to Cleveland.

The touring version of the show already has firm dates in San Francisco and Los Angeles in 2017 and Washington D.C. in 2018. A short list of confirmed cities without dates include Las Vegas, Houston, Des Moines and others. Two tours are planned, the first starting in SF, the other in Seattle. But more cities will be added to the list — Utah just learned Salt Lake City will play host to the spectacular sometime in 2017-2018.

Will Cleveland join them? Almost most definitely based on the email.

An announcement is expected on June 27.

  1. My God, could something be hyped anymore than this? It has to come with complimentary fellatio to be this earth-shattering.

  2. Have you at least listened to the company recording (with a relatively open mind), Hunior? Combines legitimate politics and history, an incredible love story, tragedy, numerous musical genres, all created by a seemingly humble artist who interacts regularly with his fans and visits schools, and performed by an incredibly young, talented, multicultural company.

    My wife and I are going to Richard Rodgers Theatre in February. I have no doubt it will be worth every Hamilton we spent on it.

  3. Matt Lawell. Sir I am totally jealous. I am a huge Lin Manuel Miranda fan, and have listened to the soundtrack repeatedly, so I understand what you are saying.

  4. I tried to get tickets for Chicago and it said they are not on sale yet….and someone else I know said they are on a waiting list????

  5. Suddenly, the sales staff at Playhouse Square will be selling season tickets by simply picking up the ringing telephone and exclaiming….”How many”.
