Confirmed by Broadway in Portland:

The national tour of the Broadway musical HAMILTON will play in Portland as part of the 2017/18 season, it was announced today by producer Jeffrey Seller and U.S. Bank Broadway in Portland...

Information regarding engagement dates and how to purchase groups and single tickets will be announced at a later time.

With book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical direction and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, HAMILTON is based on Ron Chernow’s biography of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton.

I haven't seen Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical about America's hottest founding father, because I am not independently wealthy and I don't travel to different states just to see plays. But everyone I know who HAS seen it has exited the theater with a twinkle in their eyes in their obligatory post-Hamilton Facebook selfie. And if you're still like, "IDK why are people so into this musical?" then you might want to read Kendra James' piece on the play's political significance at the Toast:

Imagine a stage filling slowly, populated by characters plucked directly from history: Aaron Burr, George Washington, Marquis Gilbert de Lafayette, Angelica and Elizabeth Schuyler, and others — all white in historical reality, but here imagined as people of color. Imagine a Broadway stage where the only white featured lead is King George III, the one common enemy of everyone onstage telling this story about the struggle to first found and then succeed in America. None of them are dressed as lions, and that you’re not sitting through yet another iteration of A Raisin in the Sun to find some diversity onstage — Hamilton is new, fresh and original and, despite the fact that it’s set over two hundred years ago, it sounds decidedly like today.

Okay, so that thing about Hamilton's intentionally diverse cast? IS REALLY IMPORTANT. Also important:

I’m convinced that every time you listen to the cast recording straight through, one of Trump’s Horcruxes is destroyed. The pro-immigration message of Hamilton is at the forefront — with Hamilton, Miranda tells a story that not at all uncommon: a young immigrant arrives in America and makes his mark in American politics. It’s a story that Miranda saw firsthand growing up (Miranda’s father spoke little English when he left Puerto Rico at the age of 17; he is now a Democratic political consultant).

Yeah, this is a big deal. Don't pretend you're too cool for politically relevant musicals. You can prepare by listening to the cast recording here.
