THE hit West End musical Hamilton is coming to Manchester for the first time.
It has been announced that the blockbuster show will enjoy a 15-week season at the Palace Theatre opening on Saturday, November 11 running until Saturday, February 24.
The musical which has won major theatre awards on both side of the Atlantic opened at the restored Victoria Palace Theatre in London in 2017 and continues to play to sell-out houses.
Producer Jeffrey Seller said: "We are excited to embark on a UK tour and share this special musical with audiences in Manchester."
Hamilton, written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, tells the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton from a modern perspective and combines hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway.
Legendary producer Cameron Mackintosh brought the show to London and is taking the show on tour said: "Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton is indisputably the most brilliant, ground-breaking, contemporary musical of modern times.
"I am thrilled that it is time to put together a second British national touring company to bring this great show to our leading cities. Tomorrow we start casting for a brilliant new company. We look forward to welcoming audiences to 'the room where it happens'."
