Lin-Manuel Miranda did something specific when he wrote Hamilton: he made hip-hop the grammar of American founding mythology. Not as a gimmick. As an argument. The Founding Fathers — immigrants, outsiders, men who built something where nothing was before — are played in the idiom of the music that’s been making the same claim since the South Bronx in 1973. That’s the conceptual core. The show works because the parallel holds.
The North American Tour stops at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio for thirteen nights, July 28 through August 9, 2026. The Friday, July 31 performance starts at 7:30 PM. Doors open approximately one hour before curtain. The show runs two hours and forty-five minutes with one intermission.
The Majestic — 224 E Houston St — is San Antonio’s house for Broadway, one of the most distinguished theatrical spaces in the state. It’s the right room for this production.
The touring cast for this engagement puts Tyler Fauntleroy in the title role, with Jimmie “J.J.” Jeter as Aaron Burr, Lauren Mariasoosay as Eliza Hamilton, Marja Harmon as Angelica Schuyler, and Paul Louis Lessard as King George III. The creative architecture underneath them is unchanged from the original: book, music, and lyrics by Miranda; direction by Thomas Kail; choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler; musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire.
The score moves through hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and Broadway tradition — not in sections, but blended, Lacamoire’s orchestrations holding all of it together. The argument of the music and the argument of the story are the same argument, and that alignment is why this show has lasted. Eleven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Original Score. The Pulitzer Prize for Drama. A Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album. Seven Olivier Awards from the West End production. A Kennedy Center Honors special citation. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the original Broadway run at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, while the North American Tour continues through 2027.
