Can You Stay a Week Downtown for Hamilton at the Orpheum Without a Car? April 20–May 22, 2027

Yes — and Hamilton is one of the best reasons all year to try it. The show returns to the Orpheum Theatre on Hennepin Avenue for a five-week run, April 20 through May 22, 2027. Hennepin Arts lists all Hamilton tickets as going on sale Thursday, November 12, at 10 AM. If you are coming in from out of town — or turning one show into a week of spring in the city — a furnished studio at Oakland’s on 9th puts you a walk away from the theater, with no car, no parking ramp and no hotel-room microwave dinners.

When is Hamilton at the Orpheum?

According to the Hennepin Arts event page, Hamilton plays the Orpheum from April 20 to May 22, 2027, as part of the 2026–27 Broadway on Hennepin season. The first week looks like this:

  • Tuesday, April 20 — 7:30 PM
  • Wednesday, April 21 — 7:30 PM (opening night)
  • Thursday, April 22 — 7:30 PM
  • Friday, April 23 — 7:30 PM
  • Saturday, April 24 — 1:30 PM and 7:30 PM
  • Sunday, April 25 — 1:00 PM and 7:00 PM

Dozens more performances follow through May 22 — the page lists 31 beyond that first week. One note on tickets: the page’s performance list says all tickets go on sale November 12 at 10 AM, while its season-ticket box still says single tickets go on sale “at a future date.” Check the event page on the day, and buy only through Hennepin Arts.

Before you choose a night: the show runs 2 hours 45 minutes with an intermission, contains some strong language and is recommended for ages 10 and up. Children 5 and older need their own ticket; infants are not admitted.

How do you get from Oakland’s on 9th to the Orpheum?

On foot. Oakland’s on 9th is at 215 South 9th Street, and the Orpheum is at 910 Hennepin Avenue — head west along 9th Street to Hennepin and you are in the Theatre District. A map app will give you the exact time for your pace. After the show, you skip the ramp exit line entirely and walk home.

If April decides to act like March, the Minneapolis skyway can cover part of a downtown walk indoors. To be clear, Oakland’s is not connected to the skyway — you walk a block to reach it — and skyway hours vary by building, so check before you count on it late at night. For anything farther afield, plan with the Metro Transit trip planner.

Why a furnished studio beats a hotel for a Hamilton trip

Hamilton is a five-week run, and plenty of people build a longer visit around it: grandparents coming to see the grandkids, a work trip that stretches over a weekend, or friends who want to see it twice. Every studio at Oakland’s on 9th is fully furnished with a full kitchen, and WiFi, all utilities, heat and free laundry are included. There are no contracts — stay a night, a week or a month. Some units are pet friendly, and studios come in three tiers: Good, Better and Best.

And there is a bonus for history lovers: you will be sleeping in an 1889 brownstone designed by Harry Wild Jones and restored in 2019. Watching a show about the founding of a nation from a building that has already seen more than 130 Minneapolis springs feels about right.

More to do on a spring theater week

Make a day of it before an evening show. Minneapolis Trolley Tours departs from the Pillsbury Club mansion, and the Pillsbury Club is a handsome spot for a reservation-only dinner. If you would rather spend one night of the trip somewhere grand, 300 Clifton, a historic mansion B&B in Loring Park, has a garden hot tub under the stars. For an afternoon of art, Mia is free to visit.
