The hit Broadway show 'Hamilton' held its first performance in Alaska on Thursday night.
The musical became a global hit when it was first performed in 2015, and it was nominated for a total of 16 Tony Awards in 2016. The show is a rap-driven portrayal of the life of founding father Alexander Hamilton is told through a modern lens and is moving to many, even those who normally have no interest in the stage. The excitement surrounding the theatrical sensation has transformed theatre and the way we think about history, according to The New York Times.
Bringing the Broadway show north has been two years in the making, with the center has working with crews of three national companies of “Hamilton” to bring set pieces and equipment from various tours around the country to Alaska. The production itself boasts 75 members of cast and crew, bringing with them a total of fourteen 53-foot trailers of costumes, set pieces and more. The production has relied on roughly 100 crew members to load and unload those trailers over the past week.
It’s not just the center that’s excited, Alaskans are too — especially ‘Hamilton’ fans who came out to see it opening night in Anchorage.
