London Theatre: Hamilton

This is truly a phenomenal experience. I totally recommend. I brought tickets November 2025 for July 2026 not knowing Leslie Odom jr would perform in Westend, totally surprised by it ! But that’s not the epitome of the experience. The actors and singers, dancers and sound/light engineering of this show is beyond believable, and it feels like you’re transcending to heavens literally. The queue wasn’t long, though I went 1h in advance. And the quality of the merch is amazing. My personal favorite were Bente Mulan (Eliza), Daniel Boys (King George) and Ashley J. Daniel’s (Lafayette) from the Westend company, truly amazing actors, with Ashley sounding nearly identical to the OG Lafayette. The only minus in the expertise was the absence of Leslie in the second act, as he was sick. I’m very grateful though that he performed the 1st act even though he wasn’t feeling well. Overall it’s amazing, if you have the opportunity and the money, go experience this ephemeral show. Incredible.

Buy the tickets and go. The theater is gorgeous, Hamilton was amazing. Absolutely no reason in the world to not do this. The theater is less than 5 minutes from the tube, there are plenty of places to eat before or after the show.

Seeing Hamilton at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London was an unforgettable experience. The production is a non-stop wave of high-energy. Beyond the incredible and diverse musical style and infectious rhythms the compelling storytelling brings history to life in a way that feels deeply relevant and moving. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and the staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming from the moment we arrived. All and all an unforgettable experience.

Love, love , love Hamilton. First time seeing the actual show in person but a big fan of the sound track and have seen the televised Broadway version multiple times. It’s definitely a good idea to watch it in advance with sub titles as the lyrics can be fast and hard to keep track of. There is very little actual dialogue so the songs tell the story - and it is a story that not many British people will be familiar with. So having a bit of knowledge in advance is definitely going to make some elements more enjoyable. But the whole score is just one sensational song after another and the simple staging makes it feel intimate and accessible. Can’t wait to see it again - the cast was strong and full of energy and just provided a perfect afternoon of top class entertainment.

I knew nothing about the show. It was fantastic. I googled the story on the way home to fully get the picture. Great singing/rapping, catchy music and King George was v funny. Interval ice cream £4, pretty reasonable!

Took my 12 year old to see Hamilton but the second row seats were awful! The stage is really high so it was hard to see everything. I requested a cushion when I heard they were offered but then one of the employees took it back saying that my son was too tall while sitting on it. My advice is to avoid the first five rows.

At my daughter's request, we watched the musical during our visit to London at the Victoria Palace Theatre. Although rap and hip hop are not one of my favorite music genres, I found the musical very exciting. I couldn't understand everything that was sung because my English skills weren't good enough for it, but the story still had to be followed. Even the small funny scenes, among others when George III gives his view of American aspirations for independence, are very amusing. Costumes and set design are well done in my opinion. It was a very entertaining evening for the four of us.

Whilst we attended a matinee performance which meant having a couple of understudies performing, this show was great. Every character was brilliant and the entire show was as expected. The sound and effects were outstanding and whilst tickets are fairly pricey, it definitely seemed value for money. The bar offerings were limited but the staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. The merchandise was good but prices were a little bit steep. The facilities were all clean and well maintained. Will definitely return to see this show again.

I am not particularly into musicals or even theatre for that matter but had a great time at Hamilton in the west-end. I would highly recommend it to anyone else & my only criticism would be the prices of the cocktails which were served from a can.

The play was ok. I haven’t seen the American version. I didn’t connect with the music much. But some of the songs were nice.
