The highly acclaimed and award-winning musical “Hamilton” is set to make its way to Montreal in 2025, much to the excitement of theater enthusiasts in the city.
The announcement was made by the show’s creator and star, Lin-Manuel Miranda, during a press conference held at the Place des Arts on Monday. Miranda expressed his enthusiasm for bringing the show to Montreal, stating that the city’s vibrant arts and culture scene made it the perfect location for “Hamilton” to make its Canadian debut.
The musical, which tells the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton through a blend of hip-hop, R&B, and traditional show tunes, has been a massive success since its Broadway debut in 2015. It has won numerous awards, including 11 Tony Awards and a Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
The show’s arrival in Montreal is expected to have a significant economic impact on the city, with an estimated $50 million in revenue and the creation of over 500 jobs. It will also provide a boost to the local tourism industry, as fans from all over Canada are expected to flock to Montreal to see the show.
The exact dates and venue for the Montreal run of “Hamilton” have yet to be announced, but tickets are expected to go on sale in the coming months. Fans are advised to keep an eye out for updates and to purchase tickets early, as the show is known to sell out quickly.
This is not the first time that “Hamilton” has made its way to Canada, as it had a successful run in Toronto in 2019. However, this will be the first time that the show will be performed in French, as the Montreal production will feature a bilingual cast.
The news of “Hamilton” coming to Montreal has been met with overwhelming excitement and anticipation from both fans and the local theater community. It is sure to be a highly anticipated event that will leave a lasting impact on the city’s cultural landscape.
In the words of Miranda, “Just you wait, Montreal. ‘Hamilton’ is coming for you in 2025.”
