The Broadway musical Hamilton has announced it will not perform at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., next year, in response to President Trump's takeover of the art institution's leadership. Originally scheduled from March 3-April 26, 2026, the cancellation highlights ongoing tensions between arts and politics as other artists have also withdrawn from the Kennedy Center. Hamilton's political activism is not new, as seen during a 2016 appeal to Mike Pence, emphasizing principled stances against perceived partisan actions at cultural institutions.
The musical Hamilton has pulled out of its scheduled performance at the Kennedy Center, citing President Trump's takeover of its leadership as the reason for cancellation.
This is not the first time that Hamilton has taken a political stance; in 2016, the cast made an appeal to Vice President-elect Mike Pence to uphold American values.
