Hamilton - the Broadway hit hitting Auckland

From Nine To Noon, 10:05 am on 3 March 2023

Must-see Tony, Grammy, Olivier and Pulitzer prize-winning musical hit Hamilton is coming to Tāmaki Makaurau in May and June.

The highly acclaimed production premiered on Broadway in 2015, and on the back of rave reviews in Australia, Hamilton is coming here.

It's the story of American founding father, the first Secretary for the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, told mainly through rap, with more than twenty R&B, Jazz and Hip-Hop numbers.

Along with other Maori and Pasifika actors, Kiwi actor Matu Ngaropo plays George Washington in the show.

Kathryn hears why it's all so great from Hamilton producer Jeffrey Seller, whose life, he says, shares some parallels with that of Alexander Hamilton.
