Hamilton the Musical is due to open into previews at the Sydney Lyric Theatre from Wednesday 21 March 2021, and is due to open officially on Saturday 27 March 2021. First performed on Broadway in 2015, the show features book, music and lyrics written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, with direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision/orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire. The Australian season is being presented by the talented team at Michael Cassel Group, who are also behind the Melbourne-exclusive season of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and are developing a new work based on the music on INXS.
Tickets to see Hamilton are currently on-sale for performances from 17 March 2021 until 1 August 2021, with more shows to be added at a later date. Tickets can be purchased via Ticketmaster Australia, with varying pries depending on preferred seating reserve, chosen session and any VIP packages you may wish to purchase.
Alternatively if you are unable to make it down to Sydney to see a performance for whatever reason, a recording of the show’s original Broadway cast can be watched through the Disney+ video-on-demand subscription service.
