Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton arrived on Broadway in August 2015 and fractured the DNA of the American musical in ways that are still reverberating a decade later. The touring production that will fill the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio on Sunday, August 9, 2026, carries all of that weight—the 11 Tony Awards, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the cultural moment that made hip-hop and R&B syntax feel native to the Founding Fathers’ story. It is a show that changed what Broadway theaters are allowed to sound like, and what stories they are allowed to tell.
About the Production
Miranda wrote the book, music, and lyrics. Thomas Kail directed; Andy Blankenbuehler choreographed. The score itself—moving between hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and traditional Broadway—is the through-line that holds together Ron Chernow’s 2004 biography and Miranda’s adaptation of it. What Hamilton does is refuse to age Alexander Hamilton, the immigrant from the West Indies who became the nation’s first Secretary of the Treasury. It treats him as urgent, still alive, still fighting. The ensemble work is relentless. The music doesn’t stop.
This is the show that earned Kennedy Center Honors recognition for theatrical innovation, that won Grammy Awards alongside the Tonys, that made the touring theater circuit a destination event rather than a roadside stop. San Antonio is one of the final cities on this iteration of the North American tour, which runs through August 9 at the Majestic.
The Venue
The Majestic Theatre, built in 1929 and designed by John Eberson in Spanish Mediterranean style, is a 2,264-seat house that earned National Historic Landmark status in 1993. The venue is built to hold grand shows. It hosts the San Antonio Symphony. The Moorish-Baroque interior—all that dazzle—was meant for exactly this kind of event: a touring Broadway production that arrives as occasion, not just programming.
