Every now and then, a Broadway musical transcends the stage and becomes a pop culture phenomenon. Over the past year, the hit Broadway musical “Hamilton” certainly did this and more while cleaning house at the box office and at the 2016 Tony Awards.
So how big has “Hamilton” become? Here are a few of the most interesting “Hamilton” statistics I was able to dig up so far, with much more to come soon. As always, be sure to check back in the future as I will be updating this post as new and updated stats become available.
Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. Some Hamilton stats come from show’s own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.
