Feature: HAMILTON at ASU Gammage

ASU Gammage has formally announced, with an appropriate level of fanfare and satisfaction, that HAMILTON will play its premiere Tempe engagement and anchor the ASU Gammage 2017-2018 Desert Schools Broadway Across America Season with performances from January 30th, 2018 through February 25th.

The complete ASU Gammage 2017-2018 series will be announced on March 27th at a Season Preview Event for subscribers and donors. Subscribers will be able to renew their season tickets beginning March 28th, and new subscriptions will go on sale to the general public on May 15th.

"It's such an honor to bring this show to Arizona," says Colleen Jennings-Roggensack, executive director for ASU Gammage and associate vice president cultural affairs for ASU. "ASU Gammage continues to be a leader in touring Broadway and with four weeks of HAMILTON, 32 performances, and the first engagement of HAMILTON on a college campus here at ASU, we are truly excited for something special."

With book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, HAMILTON is based on Ron Chernow's biography of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton.

HAMILTON is the story of America's Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington's right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and was the new nation's first Treasury Secretary.

Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B, and Broadway, HAMILTON is the story of America then, as told by America now.

HAMILTON's creative team previously collaborated on the 2008 Tony Award ® Winning Best Musical IN THE HEIGHTS. The show features scenic design by David Korins, costume design by Paul Tazewell, lighting design by Howell Binkley, sound design by Nevin Steinberg, hair and wig design by Charles G. LaPointe, and casting by Telsey + Company, Bethany Knox, CSA.

The musical is produced by Jeffrey Seller, Sander Jacobs, Jill Furman and The Public Theater.
