Every day seems to bring with it more news about the hugely anticipated run of Hamilton in Puerto Rico January 11–27, 2019, at the Centro de Bellas Artes Luis A. Ferrè theatre. The record-smashing Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning musical about founding father Alexander Hamilton and the conception of America with books, music, and lyrics by Tony Award winner Lin Manuel-Miranda, will play a three-week run in Puerto Rico. While we’re sure to get more information soon, here’s everything we know so far. (For performance and theatre logistics, click here.)
The Theatre/San Juan:
Centro de Bellas Artes Luis A. Ferrè theatre, opened in 1981, is named after the later Puerto Rican politician and philanthropist. Hamilton announced December 21 that ity would be performing here, instead of the previously announced Teatro UPR, which underwent recent renovations due to the devastation of Hurricane Maria in the fall of 2017. Miranda brought his Tony-winning musical In the Heights to Bellas Artes in San Juan in 2010, where he reprised his starring role as Usnavi for its weeklong run.
