Encore was the natural first choice for a travel and tourism partnership thanks to its unparalleled global reach and innovative approach to travel technology. Approved partners will have access to tickets via all of Encore’s sales channels including its state of the art API, enabling instant confirmation for both prices and seat locations in the securest of purchasing environments, a factor which is of utmost importance to the show.

With our global reach, secure technology and best-in-class team, Encore is uniquely placed to give HAMLTON the kind of support this global brand requires as it takes its first step into the travel trade market. I know HAMILTON is going to prove a huge success with our sales partners and their customers!”

HAMILTON is the story of America’s Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington’s right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and helped shape the very foundations of the America we know today. The score blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B and Broadway – the story of America then, as told by America now.
HAMILTON has book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, is directed by Thomas Kail, with choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical direction and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire and is based on Ron Chernow’s biography of Alexander Hamilton.
