The new company follows the first national tour, which began performances in San Francisco March 10, as well as the Chicago production, which began in September 2016, and the London staging, which will debut in November.
“Beginning in 2018 more than 8000 people a night will have the opportunity to see the show somewhere in North America. Indeed, Hamilton is for everyone,” commented Seller in a press statement. “There has been tremendous interest in the show from markets across the country. The best way to get the show in front of as many people as possible is to form a new company to crisscross the country.”
