Let the “Hamilton” madness begin, because we now know when the smash-hit Broadway musical will be coming to the stage in Chicago. 

The show’s creator Lin-Manuel Miranda announced the details in a video posted on Broadway in Chicago’s Facebook page earlier this month.

"Chi-Town!" Miranda proclaimed. "Birth place of Kanye West, Common Sense, Chance the Rapper, some of the best hip-hop in the world and the source material for Kander and Ebb's best musical. We're coming to see you first! Hamilton's ghost insisted we open at the PrivateBank Theatre."
