Broadway sensation "Hamilton," which revolutionized musical theater by blending hip-hop, jazz, and R&B, is set to premiere in Korea in December, heralding a new era for the show's world tour. The production, backed by S&Co and presented by Clip Service, will grace the stages of Dream Theatre in Busan from December 17, 2026, to January 16, 2027, followed by a run at the Grand Theater of Sejong Center for the Performing Arts in Seoul from January 21 to March 20, 2027.
Inspired by Ron Chernow's biography of Alexander Hamilton, one of the nation's founding fathers, the musical chronicles the immigrant's ascent to become a pivotal figure in the early American republic and the establishment of its financial framework. Lin-Manuel Miranda, the show's creator, penned the book, music, and lyrics, expertly weaving 46 songs into a score that masterfully merges contemporary musical styles with traditional Broadway elements to narrate a tale of ambition, political contention, and revolution.
Since its debut on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in August 2015, "Hamilton" has garnered 16 Tony Award nominations, clinching 11, including the Best Musical.
