The musical Hamilton has announced the cancellation of its 2026 performance at The Kennedy Center, citing concerns over changes in leadership and direction instituted by the Trump Administration. Producer Jeffrey Seller expressed that the new administrationâs actions could jeopardize the engagement and impact Hamilton's employees financially. This decision aligns with a broader movement among artists who are distancing themselves from the Kennedy Center amidst its new leadership. In contrast, some artists have chosen to continue their performances there, emphasizing the need to uphold the importance of art.
The recent purge by the Trump Administration of both professional staff and performing arts events at or originally produced by the Kennedy Center flies in the face of everything this national center represents.
It's really important, especially in this time that we remember and celebrate the importance of art in our lives.
