Starting in 2021, with a few complications caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Hamilton the Musical has toured Australia – with stops in Melbourne, Sydney, and until tonight, Brisbane. The incredibly well received Australian tour was produced by Michael Cassel Group, and featuring the likes of Jason Arrow as Alexander Hamilton, Martha Berhane as Eliza Hamilton, Callan Purcell as Aaron Burr, Akina Edmonds as Angelica Schuyler, Brent Hill as King George and Matu Ngaropo as George Washington among other amazing cast members.
The producer shared a closing night chookas via their social media feed:
While Australians will no longer be able to see Hamilton the Musical performed live, with no additional stops away from Australia’s East Coast confirmed, the production is headed to New Zealand for a two week, 20-performance stint at Spark Arena, Auckland commencing 26 May 2023. Ticketing information can be found via the show’s official website.
As Hamilton the Musical departs the Queensland Performing Arts Centre’s (QPAC) Lyric Theatre stage, the setting is shifting from American Revolution and “the room where it happened” to a landmark of Paris with Moulin Rouge! The Musical, set to commence its Brisbane season on 16 May 2023.
