"...ASU Gammage serves as the first stop for one of the three touring productions of the smash hit show Hamilton, which are now back on the road. Hearing the 3,000 audience members cheer and applaud on opening night made for a joyous welcome back performance....The multi-racial cast (specifically, casting the main white characters all with non-white actors) perfectly aligns with the fact that America was a nation built by immigrants and that the United States has always been a place where people come to succeed, no matter the color of their skin. The multi-racial casting, the energetic, epic score, and the modern sensibilities in the show also make the historical context easily accessible while also depicting famous people in the history books in a whole new light....While it's now been several years since Hamilton first took the world by storm, racking up 11 Tony wins and record-breaking ticket sales, and the filmed version of the original Broadway cast is still readily available on Disney+, seeing this musical live with more than 3,000 enthusiastic and appreciative audience members made me feel like things are finally getting back to normal." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
