Hamilton is Coming to San Francisco…How to Score Some Tickets
Hamilton. Hamilton. Hamilton.
Unless you have been cut off from the world for the past decade, you have heard about Lin-Manuel Miranda’s historico-musico rap blockbuster, Hamilton. With an average ticket price of over $1000, if you can even find one, it is no surprise that Hamilton set a new Broadway record for most money earned in a week at $3.3 Million for 8 shows in 2016 and the broke its own record in 2019 with a staggering $4.04 million during the same time frame. This broke the pervious record held by Wicked in 2013, grossing $3.2 million for a week with nine performances, one more than usual.
Now is your chance (hopefully) to see the Tony and Pulitzer-winning Broadway musical at the Orpheum Theater in San Francisco from November 27, 2024 to January 5, 2025. Tickets are on sale now and prices range from $69 to $269 each for regular performances. There is a 6 ticket limit per household.

About Hamilton San Francisco
Get ready, San Francisco—Hamilton is heading your way at the end of 2024, and if you haven’t seen it yet, you’re in for something special. Even if you have seen it, this is one of those shows that’s worth experiencing again and again.
So, what makes Hamilton so great? Well, for starters, it’s not your typical musical. This show took Broadway by storm with its unique mix of hip-hop, R&B, and traditional show tunes, all while telling the story of one of America’s Founding Fathers, Alexander Hamilton. It’s history, but with a beat you can’t help but tap your foot to.
The cast of characters includes some familiar names like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and of course, Hamilton himself. But what’s cool about Hamilton is how it brings these historical figures to life in a way that’s fresh and modern. They’re not just stuffy old guys in powdered wigs—they’re real people with real struggles, hopes, and dreams.
The writing is sharp, the lyrics are clever, and the performances are full of energy. You’ll laugh, you might cry, and you’ll definitely be blown away by the talent on stage. Plus, the music is so catchy, you’ll find yourself humming the tunes long after the show is over.
Another thing that sets Hamilton apart is how it looks at history from a different angle. It’s a reminder that America’s story is one of immigrants, and it’s told by a diverse cast that reflects the country we live in today. It’s a musical that feels both relevant and important, without being preachy or heavy-handed.
Whether you’re a history buff or just love a good show, Hamilton has something for everyone. It’s entertaining, it’s smart, and it’s unlike anything else out there. When it hits San Francisco later this year, you’ll want to make sure you grab your tickets early because this is one show that everyone will be talking about.
So, mark your calendars and get ready to experience the magic of Hamilton. It’s not just a night at the theater—it’s an event you won’t forget.
