The touring production of Hamilton plays the Fisher Theatre from April 29 through May 17, with tickets running $49 to $199 and a $10 lottery for every show.
The touring production of Hamilton opens at the Fisher Theatre on Wednesday, April 29, and runs through Sunday, May 17. The engagement is a three-week stand, one of the longer commercial bookings Broadway in Detroit schedules at the New Center house in a season.
Performances run Tuesday through Saturday at 8 p.m., with Saturday matinees at 2 p.m. and Sunday shows at 1 and 7 p.m. There is also an added matinee on Thursday, April 30, at 1 p.m., per Broadway in Detroit's calendar. The presenter has set an open-caption performance for Friday, May 8, at 8 p.m. and an American Sign Language performance for Sunday, May 10, at 7 p.m.
Tickets range from $49 to $199, a price that includes parking and the facility fee, with premium seats available for every performance. Single tickets went on sale in January, and the box office caps purchases at eight per account. A Ham4Ham lottery offers forty $10 seats for each show through the official Hamilton app.
Hamilton was written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who built the book, music, and lyrics from Ron Chernow's biography of Alexander Hamilton. The show premiered off-Broadway at the Public Theater in early 2015, moved to Broadway's Richard Rodgers Theatre that summer, and went on to win eleven Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Thomas Kail directs and Andy Blankenbuehler choreographs, with the score folding hip-hop, R&B, and traditional show tunes into the story of the nation's first treasury secretary.
The Fisher Theatre sits on the ground floor of the Fisher Building, the 1928 Albert Kahn landmark on West Grand Boulevard. The theatre interior itself was the work of the firm Graven and Mayger, opening that same year as an ornate movie and vaudeville house. The Nederlander organization gutted and rebuilt the room in 1961, dropping the seat count to roughly 2,100 and reopening it as the pre-Broadway playhouse it has been ever since.
