Hamilton opens at the Fisher Theatre on Wednesday, April 29, and runs through May 17. The booking is the touring production, the long-running national company that has been on the road since 2017.

Three weeks is the longest commercial run a Broadway in Detroit booking gets at the Fisher in any given season. The previous comparable was the spring 2018 stand of the same show, the first time it played the city.

The Fisher Theatre opened in 1928, designed by Albert Kahn for the Fisher Building's ground-floor cultural anchor. The interior was renovated by C. Howard Crane and reopened in 1961 in a different register from Kahn's original. The current room seats roughly 2,000.

Hamilton was written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who premiered it at the Public Theater in New York in 2015 before moving to Broadway that same year. The hip-hop-and-musical-theater register that drove it through that first decade has held up on tour. The 2026 cast that lands in Detroit is the touring company on its most recent rotation.

Broadway in Detroit's spring season runs a familiar pattern. A heavy musical sits at the Fisher for two to three weeks and pulls regional audiences from across southeast Michigan, Toledo, Windsor, and Lansing. Hamilton's Detroit dates have been on sale for months and are tracking sold-out for most evening shows.

Tickets are still available for select weekday matinees and the late run. The Fisher Theatre box office handles same-day rush.

3011 W. Grand Blvd., New Center.
