TUCSON, AZ — "Hamilton" fans in Tucson will have to be willing to wait for it. The hit Broadway musical’s stop in the city has been pushed from Dec. 2020 to late 2021 due to the coronavirus.

Now, "Hamilton" will be in town from Nov. 17 to Dec. 5, 2021, Broadway in Tucson said. Other shows, like Tony winner "Hadestown" were also pushed back, some as late as spring 2022. Shows cut short during the state shutdown will also be moved.

“We’re thrilled we haven’t canceled anything but rather rescheduled at a time when we can all come to the theater safely,” said Broadway in Tucson’s executive director Mario Di Vetta, according to the Arizona Daily Star.
