Hamilton at Durham Performing Arts Center

Alexander Hamilton became famous for his role as the founding Secretary of the Treasury in the United States and wrote the Federalist Papers. He later died from a gunshot wound he sustained in a duel he had with the Vice President, Aaron Burr.

This dramatic historic account is what inspired Lin-Manuel Miranda to create this musical masterpiece. Right from the start in 2015, Hamilton has become known throughout the world.

Hamilton received a award-record 16 Tony Awards nominations and went on to win 11, including "Best Musical". This epic musical received the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Some say the greatest part of the Hamilton experience is its ethnically diverse cast. The production casts racial minorities to play white Founding Fathers. Miranda says Hamilton is about "America then, as told by America today." As of now, Hamilton at the Durham Performing Arts Center features Trey Curtis as Alexander Hamilton, Bryson Bruce as Thomas Jefferson, Jared Dixon as Aaron Burr, and many more talented minority actors.
