The musical Hamilton has canceled its plans to perform at the Kennedy Center following President Donald Trumps taking over the cultural center’s leadership.

The musical was on the schedule to perform in March 2026 but the lead producer, Jeffrey Seller , said in a statement on Wednesday that he could not “in good conscience, participate and be a part of this new culture” Ambassador Richard Grenell responded on Wednesday to the announcement of the cancellation and called it a partisan “publicity stunt”.

We would have loved a show like this,” the Finn musical said while posting one of its songs on Instagram in protest of the cancellation. Despite these cancellations, the Kennedy Center has numerous big shows still coming to perform, including The Sound of Music , which will run from September through October 2025 ..
