Hamilton Returns to Chicago in Spring 2026 for a Limited Run at the CIBC Theatre

Hamilton Is Officially Back in Chicago This Spring

Broadway’s cultural phenomenon is returning to the Windy City. Hamilton will run at the CIBC Theatre from March 4 through April 26, 2026, bringing one of the most celebrated musicals of the past decade back to Chicago for a limited engagement.

Set in the heart of the Loop at 18 West Monroe Street, the CIBC Theatre will once again host the award-winning production that blends hip hop, R&B, and traditional Broadway storytelling into a high-energy retelling of American history.

If past Chicago runs are any indication, tickets are expected to move quickly.

HAMILTON CHICAGO 2026

Hamilton will run for just under two months in Chicago, beginning Wednesday, March 4 and closing Sunday, April 26, 2026. Performances will include evening shows and select matinees throughout the week.


The CIBC Theatre’s central location makes it easy to turn the show into a full night out. Visitors often pair the performance with dinner in the Loop, River North, or West Loop before walking to the theatre district for curtain call.


Spring timing also makes this run especially appealing, as downtown Chicago begins transitioning into warmer weather and a livelier evening atmosphere.



Hamilton Chicago Ticket Prices and $10 Digital Lottery

Ticket prices for the 2026 Chicago run have been reported to range from approximately $40 for select seats to around $183 for premium seating, depending on performance date and seat location.


For those hoping to attend at a lower price point, Hamilton offers a $10 digital lottery through the official Hamilton app. Forty tickets are available for every performance, and winners are notified digitally. Lottery participants can purchase up to two tickets at the reduced price.


The digital lottery has become one of the most popular ways for audiences to experience the show, particularly students and first time Broadway attendees.



Why Hamilton Continues to Sell Out in Chicago

Since its debut, Hamilton has redefined modern musical theatre. With music by Lin-Manuel Miranda and a cast that blends diverse voices with contemporary sound, the show tells the story of Alexander Hamilton in a way that feels urgent and relevant.

Beyond the music and choreography, the production’s storytelling has resonated with audiences across generations. Each return engagement in Chicago has drawn strong attendance, reinforcing the city’s status as one of the country’s leading theatre markets.

For many, seeing Hamilton live is not just attending a show. It is experiencing a cultural moment.

Planning Your Night at the CIBC Theatre

If you are planning to attend, consider booking early for weekend performances. Evening shows, particularly Fridays and Saturdays, are likely to see the highest demand.

Arriving early allows time to explore Chicago’s theatre district, enjoy pre-show drinks, or simply take in the energy of downtown before the curtain rises.

In a city known for world-class theatre, Hamilton’s return stands out as one of the spring’s most anticipated live performances.
