Having captivated Australian audiences in Sydney and Melbourne, Hamilton the Musical is finally here in Brisbane, for a season that's just been extended to Sunday 23 April. If you haven't gotten your tickets yet, we suggest you hop to it, and fast, because dates are selling fast—you can grab them here.
In even better news, Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of the award-winning musical, is coming to Brisbane to see the Australian production for himself—and a few lucky fans will get to see him. Leigh Sales will be interviewing Lin-Manuel Miranda on the Lyric Theatre stage at QPAC, and a limited number of tickets will be available for die-hard fans of the show to watch it. It's going down on Sunday 5 March, and best of all, tickets are free—you just have to enter to win them here.
If your budget won't quite stretch to full price tickets for the actual show, you can also try your luck at the weekly digital lottery for $10 tickets. Available exclusively through the TodayTix app, the lottery opens at 12:01am every Friday and closes for entry at 1:00pm the next Thursday prior, with a handful of tickets to the shows for the week following up for grabs. Lottery winners will get a notification on Thursday afternoon, and will have one hour to claim and nab their tickets—so don't even think about turning 'do not disturb' on.
The original 2015 Broadway production garnered a record 16 Tony nominations and racked up 11 wins—only second The Producer’s 12 gongs—and the Australian production has lived up to the hype.
In case you’re not familiar with Hamilton, it’s a musical about the life of America’s founding father Alexander Hamilton, and the incredible lyrics written by Lin-Manuel Miranda are rapped and sung in an R&B, hip hop and soul style. It’s certainly not your standard musical, and that’s why everyone loves it.
Australian Producer Michael Cassel said: “We are ecstatic to be bringing Hamilton to Brisbane and to share this brilliant production with even more Australians. Queensland fans have been waiting so patiently and it will have been absolutely worth it when our talented cast heads north, bringing the revolution to the sunshine state.”
