Hamilton announces UK tour!

The multi-award-winning Hamilton will embark on a tour in 2023

Telling the story of America’s founding father Alexander Hamilton, the originally off-Broadway sensation went off to a global hit that has won eleven Tony Awards, seven Olivier Awards and a Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album.

Cameron Mackintosh said: “Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton is indisputably the most brilliant, ground-breaking, contemporary musical of modern times. I feel extraordinarily fortunate that Lin and my friend Jeffrey Seller, the show’s original producer, have entrusted me with their wonderful musical in the UK and Ireland.  The London production opened in 2017 at the Victoria Palace, a theatre I completely rebuilt to house Hamilton, where it continues to play and has proved to be as big a success as the Broadway original. So, I am thrilled that it is time to put together a second British national touring company to bring this great show to our leading cities.  Opening first in Manchester, followed by Edinburgh – not far from where the real story of Alexander Hamilton began in Ayrshire, where his father was born in the 1700’s, before he moved to Nevis in the West Indies. Tomorrow we start casting for a brilliant new company. We look forward to welcoming audiences to “the room where it happens”. 

The tour starts at Manchester Palace for a 15-week run from Saturday 11 November, and at Edinburgh's Festival Theatre for nine weeks from Wednesday 28 February 2024.

The production features set design by David Korins, Paul Tazewell costumes, Howell Binkley lighting, and Nevin Steinberg sound.

Further touring venues will be announced soon and casting for the UK tour will be announced later.
