Hold on to your tricorn hats! "Hamilton" is coming to Sarasota.
The smash Broadway musical about the passionate life of the nation's first secretary of the Treasury is one of seven premieres happening during the Van Wezel's 2023-24 season.
Even though it's been eight years since Lin-Manuel Miranda's sung-and-rapped musical made its debut, "Hamilton" hysteria is still going strong.
"Hamilton" was made into a film in 2020, but the silver screen version hasn't diminished demand for live performances of the 11-time Tony Award winning musical.
The show, which won the Tony for best musical in 2016, will be on stage at the Van Wezel for two weeks, from March 26 to April 7, 2024.
“I’m delighted to share the biggest and brightest Broadway season to date," said Mary Bensel, executive director of the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, in a statement. "Headlining our season is the smash hit, mega musical 'Hamilton.' This show took Broadway by storm, and I'm thrilled to bring it to Sarasota for the first time."
When the Van Wezel got some pushback on its Facebook page for offering "Hamilton" tickets exclusively to season subscribers, the venue assured fans that single tickets will be made available at a later date.
The other premieres coming to the Van Wezel during its upcoming season are:
The world famous all-male comic ballet company Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo will appear at the Van Wezel on Jan. 14 for ages 18 and up.
