Hamilton Tickets at the Victoria Palace Theatre

Who Is Hamilton Best For?

• Anyone who has been putting it off because it is a rap musical. That is the single most common reason people give for not going, and it is the single most common thing they change their mind about. Audiences of every age come out of this one having loved it.
• People who want to see the show everyone else has already seen. Nine years in London and it is still one of the hardest tickets in town.
• First-timers who like a bit of homework. The story moves fast. Twenty minutes reading up beforehand transforms it, and we say why below.
• Anyone who thinks they know what a musical sounds like. Hip-hop, R&B, Britpop, Gilbert and Sullivan and a harpsichord, in the same evening!
• Not ideal for under-10s, and the recommended age is 10 and over. It's a fast show, and tough to keep up with.

About Hamilton at the Victoria Palace Theatre

Hamilton is Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical about Alexander Hamilton, the orphan from the Caribbean who became George Washington's right-hand man, wrote much of the framework of the American financial system, and was shot dead in a duel by the sitting Vice President.

It opened on Broadway in 2015 and did something no musical had managed in decades: it became a genuine cultural event. The Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Eleven Tony Awards. Even a Grammy. It arrived in London in December 2017 to the newly refurbished Victoria Palace Theatre, took seven Olivier Awards from a record thirteen nominations, and has been running ever since. The hype surrounding the show on Broadway and then in London is unmatched.

The songs you already know. My Shot, The Room Where It Happens, Satisfied, You'll Be Back, Wait For It and Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story all come from this show.

What it actually is, on the night: a two-and-three-quarter-hour show performed on essentially one set, by a company who barely leave the stage. The music runs continuously and the lyrics are dense. The company is cast without regard to the appearance of the people they are playing, which is deliberate and is one of the things the show is about.

One practical note that changes people's evenings. Americans are taught this history at school and we are not, the show moves quickly, and several actors play two roles. Twenty minutes reading the story beforehand makes an enormous difference. We have a short guide to the story and the characters. Ask us for it on 020 7193 9050 when you book and we will send it over.

What's Hamilton About?

Alexander Hamilton arrives in New York from the Caribbean with nothing, and an enormous talent for writing. He meets Aaron Burr, who advises him to keep his opinions to himself. He famously, and tragically, ignores that advice for the rest of his life.

Revolution breaks out. Hamilton catches George Washington's eye and becomes his right-hand man. He marries Eliza Schuyler, whose sister Angelica is quietly in love with him too. The Americans win.

Then the harder question: how do you build a country from scratch? Act II is politics, rivalry and consequence. Hamilton pushes his financial plan through, makes an enemy of Thomas Jefferson, and makes a mistake in his private life that he then makes public himself.

It is not a spoiler to say he dies in a duel. The show tells you so in its first three minutes, and the Evening Standard's critic made the same point when it opened. What the show does with that, and with the fifty years his widow lived afterwards, is the part worth arriving fresh for.

Who plays two roles. Lafayette returns after the interval as Thomas Jefferson. John Laurens returns as Hamilton's son Philip. Hercules Mulligan returns as James Madison. Peggy Schuyler returns as Maria Reynolds. It catches out almost every first-timer, so now you know.

Performance Schedule

Hamilton plays eight times a week, with no Sunday performance.

Running time is 2 hours 45 minutes including one 15-minute interval, so a 7:30pm performance finishes around 10:15pm.

Booking is currently open to 2 October 2027. Read that as how far ahead the Box Office has gone on sale, not as a date the show closes. Hamilton has extended many times since 2017 and no end has been announced.

Best Seats for Hamilton

The Victoria Palace holds 1,557 across three levels, and it was rebuilt from the inside out in 2016-17, so the auditorium is in far better shape than its 1911 date suggests.

• Stalls, middle rows, centre. The best of the building, and usually priced as such.
• Royal Circle, forward of row L. Excellent, and the overhang from the level above starts to bite from row L backwards.
• Grand Circle. Fine, and the cheapest way to see the whole stage picture.
• Think twice about: the front row of either circle, both of which are short on legroom, and the extreme sides, which lose a little of the corners.

One thing specific to this show: the staging climbs the stage but only to about halfway, so no seat misses it.

Row-by-row detail is in the Tickets and Best Seats tab, and the deep venue detail is in our Victoria Palace Theatre guide.
