How Long Is Hamilton

on Broadway?

Since it opened in August 2015, Hamilton on Broadway has become a global hit. The musical, written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, tells the story of the Founding Father with a hip-hop and rap flavor. Hamilton has earned Tony Awards, Pulitzer Prizes, and legions of fans. One of the most common questions asked by those eager to see it is: How long is Hamilton on Broadway?

Although each Broadway show has different running times, Hamilton usually clocks in at just over two and a half hours, with a 15-minute intermission. This makes Hamilton a fairly standard length for a piece of Broadway theater – a far cry from the five-hour performances of Sweeney Todd or The Music Man.

Hamilton has longevity on its side, too. In May 2017 the show announced it would continue until at least January 2018, and tickets for that period are now on sale. After that, a review of future dates is expected.

The fact that tickets often sell out weeks or months in advance means that if you want to see the show, you should book your seats as early as possible. The show’s official website and other resellers have tickets available during Hamilton’s extended run, and prices start at around $50.

So if you’re dreaming of seeing Hamilton on Broadway, rest assured that you won’t have to stay too late. Sitting in the theater for two and a half hours, listening to the powerful lyrics and music of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s masterpiece, will be a night to remember.
