TAMPA, FL — News that “Hamilton: An American Musical” is coming to Tampa’s Straz Center is likely music to theater-lovers’ ears. Fans, however, will have to wait a bit for the Broadway smash to make its way to the Tampa Bay area.

Straz officials broke the news via Facebook on Sunday, saying the show will appear in the 2018-19 season lineup. Details about the dates and ticket prices haven’t been released just yet. Officials did say that season ticket holders for 2017-18 will be guaranteed seats for the musical if they renew during the 2018-19 season.

“Hamilton” is a musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda based on the 2004 biography of Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow. The musical debuted in 2015, quickly becoming a smash success. Since its debut, “Hamilton” has won numerous accolades, including nearly a dozen Tony Awards, a Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album and a Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
