Created by Lin-Manual Miranda, Hamilton follows the life of the American Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton, who worked alongside President George Washington.

The musical tells the tale of the political figure through the medium of rap and song, with the musical score being inspired by hip-hop, jazz and Broadway.

It will run at the Birmingham Hippodrome from June 25, 2024, to August 31, 2024, with the cast for the UK and Ireland tour of the show currently being assembled.
