‘Hamilton’ Returns to Chicago for Limited CIBC Theatre Run Through April 26

After the Kennedy Center engagement was canceled, producers routed the tour to Chicago to leverage theater availability plus longstanding ties.

Overview

  • The production reopened at the CIBC Theatre on March 5 for its third Chicago engagement and is scheduled to run through April 26.
  • Producer Jeffrey Seller has said Chicago offered the best venue availability as well as close connections to the show after the Washington, D.C., plan fell through.
  • The tour now showcases a younger lineup, including Tyler Fauntleroy as Alexander Hamilton and Jimmie J.J. Jeter as Aaron Burr, while preserving the original union-backed production values.
  • Critics report strong turnout and long lines, and the prior 2016–2020 Chicago sit-down grossed about $400 million, underscoring sustained demand.
  • Concurrent productions continue on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, in London’s West End, and on a national tour.
