Miranda first announced that his award-winning play will be coming to the Philippines last March 28. It is slated to premiere in the country this September at the Theater in Solaire in Parañaque.

The song-and-rap musical tells the story of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton based on Ron Chernow's book Alexander Hamilton published in 2004.

Hamilton made its off-Broadway debut at New York City's Public Theater in February 2015.

According to a Forbes report published in 2020, the entire Hamilton franchise, which consists of the Broadway musical, film, and other merchandise, has earned over a $1 billion worldwide. More than half of it—$649.9 million (P36 billion), to be exact—came from the musical alone.

It has consequently become one of the highest-grossing musicals of all time along with hit modern classic The Lion King, Wicked, and The Phantom of the Opera.
