Originally introduced on his production of RENT, the lottery ticket policy was created by HAMILTON‘s Producer Jeffrey Seller to provide accessible and affordable tickets to his shows. The lottery has been in place on every show he has produced since, and Michael Cassel and TodayTix are proud to continue the tradition in Australia.

We have seen such an amazing response from fans through the Hamilton lottery in Sydney, so there was no question that we would continue the initiative in Melbourne,” said Michael Cassel. “We believe the lottery provides a tangible pathway to increase accessibility, and allows us to share our show with new audiences.

HAMILTON premiered on Broadway in August 2015 to wide critical and audience acclaim. The show has won Tony®, Grammy®, and Olivier Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway, HAMILTON has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theatre – a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics and education.

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.

The HAMILTON creative team previously collaborated on the 2008 Tony® Award-winning Best Musical In the Heights.
Scenic design is by David Korins, costume design by Paul Tazewell, lighting design by Howell Binkley, sound design by Nevin Steinberg, hair and wig design by Charles G. LaPointe.

The Australian production of HAMILTON is produced by Jeffrey Seller, Sander Jacobs, Jill Furman, The Public Theater and Michael Cassel.
