The outdoor impromptu concert series Ham4Ham was a mainstay of the megamusical Hamilton in the year following its starry 2015 premiere on Broadway, with composer and star Miranda greeting hopefuls in line for each performance's discount ticket lottery with a performance on the steps of the theatre, sometimes improvised, and often including guests from their neighboring shows.
A 2023 iteration of the series featured performances from Kimberly Akimbo; Parade; Some Like It Hot; Shucked; Camelot; & Juliet; Into the Woods; New York, New York; and more.
Hamilton features a book, music, and lyrics by Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire.
Hamilton, which continues at Broadway's Richard Rodgers Theatre, won 11 2016 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The musical officially opened August 6, 2015, following previews that began July 13. It is also the recipient of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
The musical is produced by Jeffrey Seller, Sander Jacobs, Jill Furman, and The Public Theater.
