ATLANTA, May 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine Exhibitions, Inc., a global pioneer in worldwide traveling entertainment, today announced that it is collaborating with the creators of the Broadway Musical HAMILTON to present HAMILTON: THE EXHIBITION, which will make its debut in Chicago in November.

With a dynamic mix of in-depth scenography, lighting, sound, multimedia and music, HAMILTON: THE EXHIBITION will give attendees an experiential journey from Hamilton's childhood to the duel with Aaron Burr that cost Hamilton his life in Weehawken, New Jersey.

From room to room, patrons can discover what commerce was like in the trading posts where Hamilton worked and first made a name for himself; what it was like to be in the eye of the hurricane that destroyed his native St. Croix; how people lived in lower Manhattan during the Revolutionary War era; how war was fought and the strategy that gave the American rebels the edge to defeat the British in the Battle of Yorktown; how Hamilton created the new nation's economy and The Bank of the United States of America; and the numerous, indelible ways Hamilton's bold actions over 200 years ago affect our lives today.

"We're delighted to be working with the visionaries behind one of the most successful pieces of theatre of all time," said Tom Zaller, President & CEO of Imagine Exhibitions, "Together, we are creating an unforgettable experience that will take Hamilton fans and museum goers to a new dimension."
