The multi award-winning Hamilton will play a six week season at Mayflower Theatre, Southampton from 18 March – 26 April 2025.
Hamilton is the story of America then, told by America now. 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.
The Olivier, Tony, Grammy and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical opened at the newly re-built and restored Victoria Palace Theatre in London in December 2017 where it continues to play to sell-out houses and is currently booking until 2 March 2024. The production continues to play to record breaking houses on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, throughout North America, in Toronto, Australia and Germany with forthcoming seasons in New Zealand and international tour also planned.
A brand-new company for the UK and Ireland tour is currently being assembled from over 3000 hopeful artists. The cast for the UK and Ireland tour will be announced soon.
Joining the production as Alexander Hamilton is 2024 Black British Theatre Award-winner Marley Fenton, whilst Billy Nevers, who currently performs as Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson in the tour, will now play Aaron Burr.
Roshani Abbey, who has previously performed in Hamilton in the West End, will play Eliza Hamilton until Tuesday 25 March. Casey Al-Shaqsy will play Eliza Hamilton from Wednesday 26 March, joining the company for the first time.
