The Hamilton Effect: Traveling to see the blockbuster theater

Tourist are getting more and more dedicated to see a musical or play when they travel. It is a growing trend partly because the Internet is making it easier to buy tickets. Chris Heywood, a spokesman for NYC & Company, New York's marketing organization, is known as "the Hamilton effect". The hit musical is now playing internationally and has stimulated interest in other musicals and broadened the audience base. Although newer musicals and plays dominate the desires of the most dedicated travelers, Broadway's older shows are more popular abroad. The hit musical Hamilton has brought many travelers to New York City, London, and Chicago to experience the show and many tourists visit these cities just to see it.

This article is significant in US history because it is about the impact that Hamilton the musical has made on people's vacations and the reason why they travel. This show helps educate the audience on the founding fathers and Hamilton's life while there is singing, dancing and acting. Hamilton is very important in our country because it is the first Broadway musical solely about US history and is very entertaining and has impacted the way people travel.
