Hamilton musical to hit the stage at Pittsburgh’s Benedum Center

Yup, you heard that right! 

One of Broadway’s most groundbreaking shows is coming to Pittsburgh, and you won’t want to miss it!  

The smash-hit Broadway musical “Hamilton” is coming to Pittsburgh’s Benedum Center from September 1 to September 29, and fans across campus couldn’t be more excited. This three-week run marks the return of one of the most talked-about productions in modern theater and is expected to draw huge crowds eager to experience Lin-Manuel Miranda’s extraordinary retelling of American history. 

One student who recently saw the show, Abby Perenovich, a sophomore Multimedia major, mentioned specific moments that caught their attention. “The song, ‘One Last Time,’ it’s one of my favorites, and it was performed so beautifully.” The energy in the theatre also provides an extra layer to the experience, “Everyone was very in awe the entire show. It was just a very pleasant environment.” 

The show’s music is one of the reasons it’s remained so popular, as well. With songs like “My Shot,” “The Room Where It Happens,” and “Helpless” becoming iconic staples in the Broadway industry, and trending years after the show’s first live production. This run marks a highly anticipated return to Pittsburgh, where theatergoers can witness this extraordinary experience.  

Since its debut in 2015, Hamilton has become more than just a show, it’s a part of history. The musical tells the story of Alexander Hamilton, one of the United States’s Founding Fathers, but does so in a way that had never been introduced at the time. Using a blend of hip-hop and traditional Broadway sounds, the show reimagines history with a modern look.  

Whether you’re a history buff or just love a good musical, “Hamilton” is known to engage a wide variety of audiences. Its mix of historical accuracy and emotional storytelling mixed with its modern music has set it apart from other Broadway shows. Just like how this show’s last visit to the city was met with sold-out performances, this year promises to be no different. 

When asked if they would recommend the show, their response was clear, “Yes, absolutely! If you like musicals, I totally recommend seeing it when you get the chance!” 

Performances will be held at the Benedum Center, one of Pittsburgh’s premier theaters known for its beautiful architecture. Located in the heart of Pittsburgh’s Cultural District, this venue is perfect for a production of this scale. With over 2,800 seats available per show, many excited fans have the opportunity to see this beloved show. With its beautiful design and top-tier acoustics, the theater will give audiences the best experience.  

If you’re planning to attend “Hamilton” at the Benedum Center, make sure to grab your tickets as soon as possible. Shows are expected to sell out quickly, and seating availability could become tight, as this will be a limited run.
