Hamilton In Charlotte, The Extraordinarily Popular Musical Returns To The Queen City in 2025
Nows your chance to see Hamilton in Charlotte. The big news was announced today in the Charlotte performing arts scene. One of the most popular musicals of at least this generation and perhaps all time- Hamilton is returning to Charlotte in 2025. The musical will play at the Belk Theater at Blumenthal Performing Arts from January 7-February 25th of next year.
Tickets can be purchased now as part of the Blumenthal Performing Arts Equitable Bravo Series which is one of the two Broadway series they offer each year. The other is the PNC Broadway Lights series. Single-show tickets for shows including Hamilton in Charlotte have yet to have an on-sale date announced.
Hamilton was developed by Lin Manuel-Miranda and made its Broadway debut to rave reviews in August 2015. It went on to win 11 Tony Awards. But the recognition didn’t stop there. Hamilton has received recognition from the Grammys, a Pulitzer Prize, and recognition at the Kennedy Center Honors.
NEW YORK, NY – FEBRUARY 15: Music director Alex Lacamoire and Actor, composer Lin-Manuel Miranda celebrate on stage during “Hamilton” GRAMMY performance for The 58th GRAMMY Awards at Richard Rodgers Theater on February 15, 2016 in New York City.
The story of Alexander Hamilton became a cultural phenomenon and is even available to watch on Disney +. In my opinion, the soundtrack which blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and Broadway is a major part of the show’s appeal. It certainly introduced Broadway and musicals to a new generation of fans.
Hamilton In Charlotte
This marks the third time the national tour of Hamilton has come to Charlotte. I saw it in its last run here. and while I can certainly appreciate its contributions to Broadway and the doors opened by it, it isn’t a personal favorite of mine. I know that is an extremely unpopular opinion and one very few other people share. Hamilton is just one of a handful of shows coming to Charlotte and Blumenthal Performings Arts for the upcoming season. Other shows include:

This North Carolina City Is The Number 2 City People Are Dreaming Of Moving To
7. Raleigh, NC
The North Carolina capital city ranks 7th on this list. I know there is a bit of a rivalry between Charlotte and Raleigh but as someone who loves both dearly, I will fiercely defend Raleigh even living in the Queen City. Plus it’s great for our state that both cities are thriving and desirable places to relocate to.
3. New York, NY
Daydreaming about moving to New York? It’s a common occurrence and no surprise to see the city that never sleeps on this list. I love to visit New York, but the only way I could live in New York is in areas and in a way that in this lifetime I will never be able to afford to. If it’s not in the Upper East Side I don’t want it. But I do have several friends and even a family member who have moved there permanently or temporarily. I’ll stick to visiting!
2. Charlotte, NC
While I don’t quite understand the why, I definitely see the people coming. More and more everyday. I know it’s good for the economy and the city, but it’s not good for rent prices, the housing market (if you’re a potential buyer), and traffic. So while I’d try and convince people we are full, I guess it’s a good thing our city is one people want to move to. As someone who was born and raised here, I do question what is so tempting. I love Charlotte and have no intention of leaving, but really the second most desirable place?
1. Austin, TX
Austin is certainly one of the trendiest cities right now. It’s pretty high on my list of places I want to visit, but until I have I can’t say whether or not I’d like to move there. But a thriving music and cultural scene are enticing and I’ve heard the food is incredible as well. Maybe in 2024 I’ll finally check this off the bucket list!
The Full Top 10
- Austin, TX
- Charlotte, NC
- New York, NY
- Los Angeles, CA
- Nashville, TN
- Tampa, FL
- Raleigh, NC
- Seattle, WA
- Atlanta, GA
- San Diego, CA
The top 10 is filled with some pretty great cities. Outside of the ones discussed above it was my dream to relocate to Nashville several years ago. Music City has seen a similar growth at the Queen City in the same time period so it makes sense it is on this list as well. While I personally couldn’t live in Atlanta (that traffic) it’s an enticing destination for sure. And I have good friends who just moved to the Tampa area. Is your dream city on this list?
