Don't Throw Away Your Shot: Make the Most of Your Hamilton Experience
Have tickets to see Hamilton in Minneapolis? Plan your perfect trip to the theater.
Late summer in 2018 was an exciting time for Broadway theater fans in Minneapolis. After waiting not-so-patiently since its 2015 debut, Hennepin Arts brought Hamilton to our city! This highly anticipated show did not disappoint and sold out every night of its run in Minneapolis. Start planning your trip and getting excited for Hamilton's return to Minneapolis April 4 - May 6, 2023!
