The theatrical event of Cincinnati’s 2018–19 Season, and arguably the theatrical event of the decade, was the mega-hit Broadway musical Hamilton, which made its long-awaited Aronoff Center premiere on February 19, 2019 as a presentation of Fifth Third Bank Broadway in Cincinnati, presented by TriHealth. In
the show, Aaron Burr sings “I wanna be in the room where it happens.” During Hamilton’s three-week, sold-out run, more than 60,000 audience members were excited to be where it happened (in the Procter & Gamble Hall) to experience this brilliant work of art. For more than two decades, the Cincinnati Arts Association has been dedicated to the
management of the many “rooms where it happens” at two of the Tri-state’s most popular arts destinations — the Aronoff Center and historic Music Hall.
