Best Seats for Hamilton
- Best view Stalls, middle rows, centre The best of the building, and usually priced as such.
- Good value Grand Circle Fine, and the cheapest way to see the whole stage picture.
- Think twice Front row of either circle Short on legroom. The extreme sides lose a little of the corners.
Is the Stalls or the Royal Circle better for Hamilton?
The middle of the Stalls, centre, is the best of the building. After that the centre of the Royal Circle, rows B to D, is excellent, with the whole stage in one view.
The action climbs the stage, but only to about halfway, so there is no seat that misses it. Far side seats and row ends give up a little of the corners, and the rearmost rows see a slightly narrower picture, but the whole show is visible from everywhere in the building. A row end does get you out quickly at the interval.
The rake is gentle, so a tall person in front matters more here than it would elsewhere.
The deep venue detail is in our Victoria Palace Theatre guide.

About Hamilton at the Victoria Palace Theatre
Who Is Hamilton Best For?
- Anyone who has been putting it off because it is a rap musical. That is the single most common reason people give for not going, and it is the single most common thing they change their mind about. Audiences of every age come out of this one having loved it.
- People who want to see the show everyone else has already seen. Nine years in London and it is still one of the hardest tickets in town.
- First-timers who like a bit of homework. The story moves fast. Twenty minutes reading up beforehand transforms it, and we say why below.
- Anyone who thinks they know what a musical sounds like. Hip-hop, R&B, Britpop, Gilbert and Sullivan and a harpsichord, in the same evening!
- Not ideal for under-10s, and the recommended age is 10 and over. It's a fast show, and tough to keep up with.
Can I take children to Hamilton?
Hamilton is recommended for ages 10 and over, because of strong language. Under 16s must be accompanied by, and seated next to, someone aged 18 or over, and under 3s are not admitted. It is a long show with dense lyrics, so it suits children who will stay engaged.
Hamilton is Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical about Alexander Hamilton, the orphan from the Caribbean who became George Washington's right-hand man, wrote much of the framework of the American financial system, and was shot dead in a duel by the sitting Vice President.
It opened on Broadway in 2015 and did something no musical had managed in decades: it became a genuine cultural event. The Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Eleven Tony Awards. Even a Grammy. It arrived in London in December 2017 to the newly refurbished Victoria Palace Theatre, took seven Olivier Awards from a record thirteen nominations, and has been running ever since. The hype surrounding the show on Broadway and then in London is unmatched.
The songs you already know. My Shot, The Room Where It Happens, Satisfied, You'll Be Back, Wait For It and Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story all come from this show.
What it actually is, on the night: a two-and-three-quarter-hour show performed on essentially one set, by a company who barely leave the stage. The music runs continuously and the lyrics are dense. The company is cast without regard to the appearance of the people they are playing, which is deliberate and is one of the things the show is about.
One practical note that changes people's evenings. Americans are taught this history at school and we are not, the show moves quickly, and several actors play two roles. Twenty minutes reading the story beforehand makes an enormous difference. We have a short guide to the story and the characters. Ask for it when you book and we will send it over.
What's Hamilton About?
Alexander Hamilton arrives in New York from the Caribbean with nothing, and an enormous talent for writing. He meets Aaron Burr, who advises him to keep his opinions to himself. He famously, and tragically, ignores that advice for the rest of his life.
Revolution breaks out. Hamilton catches George Washington's eye and becomes his right-hand man. He marries Eliza Schuyler, whose sister Angelica is quietly in love with him too. The Americans win.
Then the harder question: how do you build a country from scratch? Act II is politics, rivalry and consequence. Hamilton pushes his financial plan through, makes an enemy of Thomas Jefferson, and makes a mistake in his private life that he then makes public himself.
It is not a spoiler to say he dies in a duel. The show tells you so in its first three minutes, and the Evening Standard's critic made the same point when it opened. What the show does with that, and with the fifty years his widow lived afterwards, is the part worth arriving fresh for.
Who plays two roles. Lafayette returns after the interval as Thomas Jefferson. John Laurens returns as Hamilton's son Philip. Hercules Mulligan returns as James Madison. Peggy Schuyler returns as Maria Reynolds. It catches out almost every first-timer, so now you know.
Hamilton Reviews and Reception
“The power of Hamilton lies in its ability to make the past seem vividly present.”
Hamilton opened in London in December 2017 to one of the most uniformly positive receptions any musical transfer has had this century. Five stars from the Guardian, the Times, the Telegraph, the Independent, the Evening Standard, Time Out, WhatsOnStage and The Stage.
Henry Hitchings in the Evening Standard: "Hamilton is a knockout, and its British cast is superb." His verdict, and his headline, was "believe the hype."
Andrzej Lukowski in Time Out: "Hamilton is stupendously good."
Then the awards. Seven Olivier Awards in 2018 from a record thirteen nominations, the most nominated show in the history of the awards, including Best New Musical and acting awards for Giles Terera as Burr and Michael Jibson as King George III.
Where the critics did have reservations, they had the same one. Both Billington and the Independent's Paul Taylor put their only qualification in the second half. Read what the critics said in full.
A note on the cast. The reviews above describe the 2017 company and Hamilton has recast many times since, which makes no difference to the production, the staging or the score.

Getting to the Victoria Palace Theatre
Victoria Street, London SW1E 5EA, directly opposite Victoria station, which makes this one of the easiest West End theatres to reach.
Tube and rail. Victoria station is across the road, on the Victoria, District and Circle lines and a major National Rail terminus. Nothing else in the West End is this convenient from the south coast or Gatwick.
Bus. Two stops on Victoria Street, both within a minute or two of the door:
- Stop M: 11, 24, 148, 211, 507, and night routes N11, N44 and N136.
- Stop G: 11, 170, 211, and night route N11.
Coach. Victoria Coach Station is a 5 to 7 minute walk up Buckingham Palace Road.
Arrive 15 to 20 minutes before, no later. You don't want to miss the start: latecomers are let in about 15 minutes into the show, by which point the opening numbers have gone.
Full detail on getting there, access, step counts and where to eat is in our Victoria Palace Theatre guide.

Hamilton FAQs
Is Leslie Odom Jr. still in Hamilton?
No. He played Aaron Burr for the summer, in a limited season that finished on Saturday 5 September 2026. Yeukayi Ushe plays Burr now.
What do I need to know before seeing Hamilton?
No American history is needed. But it is a dense, fast show and a little preparation transforms it, which is why we keep a short guide to the story and hand it out on request.
Is Hamilton still on in London?
Yes. Hamilton is booking to 2 October 2027, and that is a sale horizon rather than an end date. Nothing has been announced about the show closing.
Is it all rap?
No. Hip-hop and R&B carry a lot of Hamilton, but there are ballads, a Britpop pastiche every time King George appears, and patter in the Gilbert and Sullivan tradition. The rap is the reason most people give for not going, and the thing most of them change their mind about.
Is there a dress code for Hamilton?
No. There is no dress code at the Victoria Palace Theatre, though some of the audience will be dressed a lot smarter.
