NEW YORK CITY: Concord Theatricals has announced that it has secured exclusive worldwide secondary stage licensing rights to Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Hamilton. The title will initially be made available to young performers with a “Teen Edition,” now in development for an expected 2028 launch.

“I am thrilled that Hamilton is joining In the Heights and 21 Chump Street as part of the Concord Theatricals family,” Lin-Manuel Miranda said in a statement. “I fell in love with theatre not by seeing a lot of Broadway shows, but via my parents’ vinyl cast albums and participating in our high school’s annual musicals. I’m excited to see students take on these roles and to share this story from school stages in their communities. It’s only a matter of time.”

“We couldn’t be prouder to continue to represent Lin-Manuel’s work and to bring his astounding, game-changing show to educators and students worldwide,” Concord chief theatricals executive Sean Patrick Flahaven said in a statement. “His genius combination of history, politics and dynamic music is unique and thrilling. This is a full-circle moment, having had the honor to be involved in its development, production, and recording.”

Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway, Hamilton tells the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton, and created its own revolutionary theatrical moment in its own right. Our coverage of the musical has spanned its development history, its impact on diversity in theatre, its historic run in Puerto Rico, and its educational efforts, and more recently has included excerpts from Daniel Pollack-Pelzner’s biography, Lin-Manuel Miranda: The Education of an Artist, and Howard Ho’s How Hamilton Works: The Music Theory of Lin-Manuel Miranda.
