Lin-Manuel Miranda's Pulitzer Prize-Winning "Hamilton" To Make Pittsburgh Stop

“Hamilton” will make a stop in Pittsburgh, but you’ll have to be patient if you want to see Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway musical.

The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust announced the national tour of “Hamilton” will play at the Benedum Center as part of the 2018-19 PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh series. Dates and ticket information won’t be released until a later date.

But the Trust is using “Hamilton” as a carrot to entice people to subscribe to the 2017-18 PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh series. Season ticket holders for the upcoming season will have the first opportunity to “Hamilton” tickets when they renew their subscriptions for 2018-19.

The 2017-18 season begins in October and includes “School of Rock The Musical,” “The Color Purple,” “Love Never Dies,” “The Bodyguard,” “Waitress,” “Rent,” and “Aladdin.” Subscription prices range from $175 to $630.

In addition to winning the Pulitzer, the historical hip-hop musical won 11 Tony Awards and the original Broadway cast recording won the 2016 Grammy for best musical theater album. The Broadway cast has included two Carnegie Mellon University graduates: Leslie Odom Jr., who plays Aaron Burr, the show’s narrator and America’s third vice president; and Renee Elise Goldsberry, who plays Hamilton’s sister-in-law, Angelica Schuyler.
