Concord Theatricals has just acquired the secondary stage licensing rights to the hit Broadway musical Hamilton. This adds the play to a roster of productions under Concord’s belt and will open it up to professional and amateur theatres across the states, including a teen edition. Creator Lin-Manuel Miranda said of the deal, “I am thrilled that Hamilton is joining In the Heights and 21 Chump Street as part of the Concord Theatricals family. I fell in love with theater not by seeing a lot of Broadway shows, but via my parents' vinyl cast albums and participating in our high school's annual musicals. I'm excited to see students take on these roles and to share this story from school stages in their communities. It's only a matter of time.”

Hamilton follows the life of Alexander Hamilton, based on a biography by Ron Chernow, with a score blending hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and of course, Broadway show tunes. Chief Theatricals Executive of Concord said of Hamilton, “We couldn't be prouder to continue to represent Lin-Manuel's work and to bring his astounding, game-changing show to educators and students worldwide. His genius combination of history, politics and dynamic music is unique and thrilling. And on a personal note, this is a full-circle moment, having had the honor to be involved in its development, production, and recording.”
