Welcome to Music Hall!
We’re so glad you’re joining us for this incredible production of HAMILTON. This marks the show’s third visit to Kansas City, and it remains one of our most requested titles. Each time I see it, I discover something new. It’s brilliant and deeply layered, thanks to the extraordinary genius of Lin-Manuel Miranda. We hope you enjoy being in the room where it happens!
Next month, the brand-new production of The Great Gatsby comes to Music Hall. Based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic 1925 novel, the score features jazz and popinfused music that captures both the extravagance and longing of the Roaring Twenties. The production opened on Broadway in April 2024 and continues to play to sold-out houses. We still have three more shows remaining in the current season, and we’re thrilled about the just-announced 2026–2027 season. Each year, we ask you which shows you’d like to see on your Broadway Season, and I’m so pleased that we’ve been able to deliver once again. The season kicks off with the return of The Phantom of the Opera! After the New Year, we’ll welcome to Kansas City The Bodyguard, the Tony Award®–winning Best Musical The Outsiders, BOOP! The Musical, Water for Elephants, Buena Vista Social Club, and, closing the season, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. I hope you’ll agree—there’s truly something for everyone in this stellar lineup. Many thanks to our season members. Thank you for renewing your season tickets and for supporting us year after year. Thanks as well to our partner and supporter of the arts, PNC Bank.
And thank you for being here with us for this performance.

HOW A FOUNDING FATHER, A FRUSTRATED BIOGRAPHER & A SWIMMING POOL INSPIRED THE HIP-HOP HIT HAMILTON
STORY BY
By Pete Croatto
After earning dizzying raves and armfuls of awards, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton has gone global. How did this original account of one of America’s Founding Fathers take the stage—and the world—by storm? It’s a story involving a Bronx DJ, a frustrated historian, and a swimming pool reading session you won’t find in any history book!
Though we’re not sure exactly when Alexander Hamilton was born, his effect on American history is undeniable. In a remarkably short period of time, Hamilton accomplished the following: fought in the American Revolution (where he was George Washington’s aide); led the efforts to reform the iffy Articles of Confederation; helped design the American government as outlined in the Constitution; and served as the country’s first Secretary of the Treasury. Hamilton died at age 47 on July 10, 1804, one day after being shot by his rival Aaron Burr in a duel.
Fast forward more than two centuries: Bronx based DJ Kool Herc had a unique approach to the turntable. He talked over the records he spun, a trick he learned from the DJs in his native Jamaica. Kool Herc also mastered the self-described “Merry Go-Round,” using his two turntables “to switch back and forth repeatedly between two copies of the same record, extending the short drum break that the crowd most wanted to hear,” according to The History Channel. In August 1973, a big crowd was on hand to hear Kool Herc work his sister’s 18th birthday party. That’s how word of hip-hop, born at the rec room at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the West Bronx, spread.

Two decades later, Ron Chernow published his successful third book, Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller Sr., but the respected historian was experiencing mixed emotions. “I began to sense the danger of becoming stereotyped as the chronicler of American tycoons,” Chernow told the Biographers International Organization. “When I finished a lecture, people in the audience would start shouting out, ‘Do Carnegie next! Do Vanderbilt next!’ as if I would go on knocking off Gilded Age moguls for the rest of my career.” Who would be his next subject?
Ultimately, Chernow decided to tackle the life of an important founding father. “Alexander Hamilton was the perfect transitional figure for my next book, because there would be financial history galore while also opening up vast new subjects for study: military history, constitutional law, foreign policy and dozens of other topics,” Chernow said. The 832-page Alexander Hamilton was not only a critical hit—Kirkus Reviews deemed the book “a model of the biographer’s art”—it became a New York Times bestseller. And for one Tony-winning musical theater writer, it became a vacation read.
On a break from In the Heights, the show’s young creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda, sojourned to Mexico with his future wife, Vanessa Nadal. Miranda cracked open Alexander Hamilton on an inflatable pool lounger. He was floored. “It was the fact that Hamilton wrote his way off the island [St. Croix] where he grew up,” he told Vogue. “That’s the hip-hop narrative.” The story also reminded Miranda of his father, Luis, a native of Puerto Rico who eventually became an adviser to Mayor Ed Koch. Convinced Hamilton’s life could become a hip-hop-influenced show, Miranda scoured Google to see if it had been done before. It had not.
“The idea of hip-hop being the music of the Revolution appealed to me immensely,’’ Miranda explained to T Magazine. That April, the White House invited Miranda to participate in a concert focused on “the American experience.” He used the platform to bust a four-minute rap about Hamilton’s first 20 years. The audience, which included the Obamas, were entranced. Miranda relayed to The New Yorker that “the President’s first reaction was to remark that [Treasury Secretary] Timothy Geithner had to see this.” Chernow, who eventually became Hamilton’s historical consultant, was serenaded by Miranda in his living room. “I think that’s the most astonishing thing I’ve ever heard in my life,” he said.
At the presidential soiree, Miranda had announced that he was working on a musical about Hamilton. That was true—kind of. What he performed was his only song. A year later, he’d only written one more. Miranda’s friend and In the Heights director Thomas Kail interceded: “You know, Lin, you took two years to write two songs. If we could crank it up a little, maybe we could see what we’ve got.” Six months later, Miranda performed 10 new songs at Lincoln Center’s American Songbook series. When legendary composer John Kander’s face “lit up” during the rap battles between Thomas Jefferson and Hamilton, Miranda knew his hunch was right.
After years of readings, workshops and struggle—Burr is tough to write; half the songs in Act One were jettisoned—a completed first act of The Hamilton Mixtape was performed at the Vassar Reading Festival in Poughkeepsie, New York. Miranda stuck to his guns, including casting Latino and Black actors as America’s forefathers. “Our goal was: This is a story about America then, told by America now, and we want to eliminate any distance—our story should look the way our country looks,” Miranda said. “Then we found the best people to embody these parts. I think it’s a very powerful statement without having to be a statement.”
With the majority of the original Off-Broadway cast in tow (Brian d’Arcy James departed to star in Something Rotten! and was succeeded by Jonathan Groff), anticipation was high as Hamilton arrived on Broadway. “It is a rare thing: not just a theatrical landmark, but a show that jolts our thinking about popular culture and casts new light on some of the most storied events in American history,” T Magazine proclaimed. Did crowds and critics agree? A very important audience member had already given the musical his seal of approval: After attending an early preview with daughters Malia and Sasha, President Obama gave the show a standing ovation.

INTERPRETING THE DETAILS BEHIND
THE GREAT GATSBY’S
TONY AWARDWINNING COSTUME DESIGN
Two-time Tony winner Linda Cho describes the creation of the lavish 1920s clothing for the musical adaptation of the beloved novel.
STORY BY Ruthie Fierberg
In adapting F. Scott Fitzgerald’s infamous novel The Great Gatsby for the stage, book writer Kait Kerrigan, composer Jason Howland and lyricist Nathan Tysen needed to conjure the world millions of readers have imagined and fallen in love with for the past century. The Great Gatsby is set in the Roaring ’20s Jazz Age on a fictionalized cove of Long Island. Costume designer Linda Cho, alongside associate designer Patrick Bevilacqua, needed the costumes to match the extravagance of the era and the dreams of its fans. Here, Cho discusses her vision for the Tony Award-winning wardrobe of the musical.
On her full-scale inspiration:
Linda Cho: The directive that I was given was: Let’s design the Great Gatsby of everyone’s imagination. The Great Gatsby conjures up visions of unchecked extravagance, glittering decadence, carefree flappers and longing beyond reason. I wanted to transport the audience into this 1920s world through the lens of our contemporary eyes. This means pushing these ideas even further than what might have been realistic — and blending modern and period silhouettes and sensibilities.

On Daisy Buchanan
Cho: I wanted Daisy to look like she owns the space, to “the manner born” so to speak. The gauzy white curtains of the palatial room she occupies are echoed into her breezy handkerchief hems and waterfall shoulder drape. I wanted her look to evoke lazy summer, a dress to lay about in, drink champagne and nothing else.
On Jay Gatsby
Cho: I have to credit [author F. Scott] Fitzgerald for [this color]. In the book, Tom makes a point of sneering at Gatsby’s pink suit. Also on a visual level I liked the romantic palette of soft pink alongside Daisy’s robin’s egg blue-colored chiffon dress in this scene where they finally come together after years of separation. Our narrator Nick’s suits are meant to evoke an older period with coarser fabrics and more practical details for a working man. In contrast, Tom and Jay would have bespoke tailors with classic lines — with Jay making bolder color (pink) and fabric (glossier) choices.
On Gilda Gray
Cho: I wanted a dramatic silhouette that harkens back to a slightly earlier era and the Poiret evening coats of World War I since Gatsby is trying to re-create the past when he first meets Daisy. For the headdress, I was inspired by Paul Tate DePoo’s set image of the Art Deco arches in the background.
The Great Gatsby is coming March 17-22 to the Music Hall.
