Press Release
Producer Jeffrey Seller, Shea’s Performing Arts Center, and Broadway partner Albert Nocciolino are thrilled to welcome “Hamilton” to the Shea’s Buffalo Theatre stage for performances Tuesday, Oct. 15, through Sunday, Oct. 27.
A revolutionary story of passion, unstoppable ambition, and the dawn of a new nation. “Hamilton” is the epic saga that follows the rise of founding father Alexander Hamilton as he fights for honor, love, and a legacy that would shape the course of a nation.
Shea’s Arts engagement and education team, in coordination with “Hamilton,” will be offering the “Hamilton” education program, also known as “EduHam,” to students from five Western New York schools. Student participation in the “EduHam” program at Shea’s is made possible through the generous support of KeyBank.
Up to 40 tickets for every “Hamilton” performance will be available for $10 each through the #HAM4HAM lottery. Enter to win through the “Hamilton” app. A digital lottery for performances running Oct. 22-27 began Friday and closes Thursday.

In addition to its 11 Tony Awards, it has won Grammys, Olivier Awards, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and an unprecedented special citation from the Kennedy Center Honors.
