Lin-Manuel Miranda’s beloved Broadway hit "Hamilton" is set to return to San Francisco.
The award-winning musical, whose original run in the city was prematurely cancelled in March, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will reopen at the Orpheum Theatre for a four-week run from Aug. 10 to Sept. 5.
The theatre will become the first major indoor San Francisco theater to operate without capacity restrictions as all 2,200 seats will be available for purchase to see the blockbuster. In addition, Hamilton will be the first touring show to play in the city since the pandemic began.
The San Francisco four-week run comes in addition to the previously announced three-week stay at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts from Oct. 21-31.
"There’s no clearer sign that San Francisco is coming back to life than seeing live performances returning to our stages," San Francisco Mayor London Breed said in a statement. "Everyone has sacrificed so much over the past year to keep each other safe, and that meant that we couldn’t enjoy the shows and events that make our city such a special place. Now, with case numbers low and our vaccination rate approaching 80%, we’re excited that is coming back to the Orpheum Theatre for our residents and visitors to enjoy once again."
"BroadwaySF is back, and we are thrilled that after a 17-month intermission, we’re not only reopening the Orpheum Theatre with Hamilton, but will also be the first Broadway theater in California to resume performances," Rainier Koeners, Managing Director of BroadwaySF said. "We are working closely with the city of San Francisco to make sure our audience, actors, stagehands and ushers will safely return."
Orpheum tickets can be bought here beginning Wednesday, June 2 at 10 a.m.
Tickets range from $49 to $299 plus fans may enter a lottery for a chance to purchase a limited number of $10 seats.
