HAMILTON says goodbye to Off-Broadway!

Off-Broadway hit musical Hamilton closed earlier this week in preparation for its Broadway bow and fans and creatives alike shared their love for the show via social media in a series of tweets this weekend.

Devoted theatre fan Sahar Helmy posted a photo of the emotional send-off to the show featuring Miranda and co-star Philippa Soo.

Subsequently, composer/lyricist and star Lin-Manuel Miranda retweeted the post.

The official description of Hamilton is as follows: "From the creative team behind the Tony Award-winning In The Heights comes a wildly inventive new musical about the scrappy young immigrant who forever changed America: Alexander Hamilton. Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda wields his pen and takes the stage as the unlikely founding father determined to make his mark on a new nation as hungry and ambitious as he is. From bastard orphan to Washington's right hand man, rebel to war hero, loving husband caught in the country's first sex scandal to Treasury head who made an untrusting world believe in the American economy, Hamilton is an exploration of a political mastermind. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Eliza Hamilton, and lifelong Hamilton friend and foe, Aaron Burr, all attend this revolutionary tale of America's fiery past told through the sounds of the ever-changing nation we've become. Tony Award nominee Thomas Kail directs this new musical about taking your shot, speaking your mind, and turning the world upside down. Hamilton is the recipient of an Edgerton Foundation New American Plays Award."
