About This Adventure

Experience the groundbreaking musical "Hamilton" with a hassle-free bus trip to Madison! Enjoy a delicious meal before the show, and immerse yourself in the electrifying story of Alexander Hamilton, brought to life through a unique blend of hip-hop, jazz, and Broadway. Don’t miss this unforgettable cultural phenomenon!

Hamilton is the story of America then, told by America now.

Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway, Hamilton has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theatre—a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics and education.

With book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, Hamilton is based on Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography. It has won Tony®, Grammy® and Olivier Awards, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and an unprecedented special citation from the Kennedy Center Honors.
