Cameron Mackintosh said: “Jeffrey Seller and I are thrilled to introduce this hugely talented cast for the first ever UK and Ireland Tour of Hamilton.
“I was fortunate to be in ‘the room where it happens’ earlier this week for the start of rehearsals and feel very proud that we will soon have two brilliant companies of Hamilton in the UK; in London at the Victoria Palace Theatre, where the show continues to break box-office records and on tour, starting at the Palace Theatre Manchester in November.
“Jeffrey and I cannot wait for audiences around the country to discover, or enjoy again, Lin-Manuel Miranda's revolutionary musical phenomenon.”
With book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, Hamilton is based on Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography.
Hamilton features set design by David Korins, costumes by Paul Tazewell, lighting by Howell Binkley, and sound by Nevin Steinberg.
