Hamilton’s Producer Jeffrey Seller said: “25 years ago when I produced RENT, I introduced an in-person Broadway ticket lottery program whose goal was to provide affordable and accessible tickets. I am proud that every show I have produced has continued that same tradition. Hamilton in Sydney is no different. I am thrilled that the Hamilton digital lottery will be available to Australian audiences.”
NSW Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said the digital ticket lottery was a fantastic initiative.
“We are so close to raising the curtain on the Australian premiere of HAMILTON at the Sydney Lyric Theatre, where we will be the only place in the world to see this global sensation. It is wonderful to see so much excitement and anticipation among dedicated fans, and the HAMILTON digital ticket lottery will mean even more people have the opportunity to see one of the most critically acclaimed and successful musicals of our time in Australia’s truly only global city, Sydney.”
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.
A filmed version of the original Broadway cast was released on Disney+ on 3 July 2020.
The Australian production of HAMILTON is produced by Jeffrey Seller, Sander Jacobs, Jill Furman, The Public Theater and Michael Cassel.
The Australian premiere of HAMILTON is supported by the NSW Government through its tourism and major events agency Destination NSW.
