The musical about American founding father Alexander Hamilton is heading to Edinburgh.
The hit musical Hamilton is heading to Scotland - the home of the main character's forefathers.
His father, James Alexander Hamilton, was born in Scotland in 1718 and left to become a merchant in the West Indies where Alexander Hamilton was born. The show has won Olivier, Tony, Grammy and Pulitzer Prizes and has been enjoying a run at Victoria Palace Theatre in London since December 2017. "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."He said he was "thrilled" to put together a British national touring company to bring the show to more cities.
Lin-Manuel Miranda couldn't believe Alexander Hamilton's story hadn't been told on stage before he created his musical in 2015. The result was a refreshing and energetic new show, whose songs spread worldwide via TikTok to a young enthusiastic audience who wanted to hear more.
