The 11 Tony award-winning musical production of Hamilton concludes after more than a three-year run in Chicago’s CIBC Theatre Sunday.
According to BroadwayWorld, the Windy City was the first city outside New York back in 2016, where Hamilton opened and after 171-week run, more than a total of 1,300 performances will have taken place.
Producer Jeffrey Seller said in a news release that more people have seen Hamilton in Chicago than in any other city. He added "you can bet that 'we'll be back.'"
In honor of January 5th’s final performance, Mayor Lori Lightfoot officially proclaimed the date as ‘Hamilton Day’ in Chicago, according to tweet from the official Hamilton Musical page.
