About the show
Hamilton is a musical that depicts the revolutionary rise and fall of Alexander Hamilton as he and his fellow American Founding Fathers help build a new nation. Using a blend of hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway, this show reframes what is presented in history books and invites us to reconsider what we think we know about these individuals and how they are remembered.

What makes the performance autism-friendly?
To create an autism-friendly event, the show is performed in a welcoming, supportive environment for individuals on the autism spectrum, with sensory sensitivities, communication challenges and/or learning disabilities. Slight adjustments to lighting and sound are made for the performance. There will be Break Areas staffed by specialists in the field in the mezzanine and downstairs theatre lobby in case any theatregoers need to leave their seats during the show. Downloadable resources, including a Visual Narrative with pictures of the theatre and the production, are available on this page.
We can make no assurances that this performance will be suitable for everyone with autism. Parents and guardians are solely responsible for their children’s viewing and engagement with the performance.
