By: Julie Musbach Mar. 05, 2017
WBTV.com reports that HAMILTON has settled on run dates at Charlotte, North Carolina's Belk Theatre. HAMILTON will run for 32 performances from October 10th to November 4th.
The Broadway blockbuster is topping a season that is groundbreaking for the Blumenthal Performing Arts center. This is the first time the center is receiving three Tony winners less than a year out from their Tony wins. The other two shows are best play winner THE HUMANS and best revival winner THE COLOR PURPLE.
Blumenthal president and CEO Tom Gabbard commented on the loaded season saying, "I think Broadway is in a golden era right now. That's partly (led) to creating the biggest season we've had. And 19 new musicals will open on Broadway this season, so it won't be too long before Charlotte gets the benefit from those."
Tickets for HAMILTON will be available to subscribers first, but tickets may still be available after subscription sales. The show will also continue its $10 lottery with 40 tickets held for each performance.
