Following his run as Hamilton in the Australian production of Hamilton the Musical, it was confirmed by producers Jeffrey Seller and Michael Cassel AM that Jason Arrow will be retaining his role for the show’s international tour. Arrow has continued to play in the role since it kicked off its Australian tour in Sydney in March 2021 – and has travelled with the show to Melbourne, Brisbane and Auckland, New Zealand. The international tour is set to start in Manila this coming September.
Upon the announcement, Michael Cassel AM, who is overseeing the international tour of the Broadway hit, expressed excitement about the decision to maintain Arrow’s involvement:
Jason’s nuanced, thoughtful and searing rendition of Alexander Hamilton has been beloved by audiences throughout Australia and New Zealand, we are thrilled that he will continue bringing his sensational performance to audiences around the world in HAMILTON’s international tour.
Jason Arrow also shared that it is a privilege to be given the opportunity to continue playing the role of Hamilton:
Playing Alexander Hamilton has been the single greatest honour of my career and I am so proud to have the opportunity to continue to learn so much from this character. Audiences throughout Australia and New Zealand have reacted so warmly to HAMILTON and I can’t wait to share it with more people all over the world.
Following its current run at Spark Arena in Auckland, the international tour of Hamilton the Musical is scheduled to premiere at The Theatre at Solaire in Manila this September. Later, the musical is slated for its Middle East debut at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi in January 2024. More cities are expected to be added to the tour’s itinerary in the coming months, with casting also to be confirmed at a later date.
Tickets for the Auckland, Manila and Abu Dhabi seasons are now available to purchase via the show’s official website.
