The smash hit musical Hamilton is coming to Brisbane early next year.

The show’s Australian producer, Michael Cassel, has confirmed the show will be moving north when its Melbourne season closes on January 15.

“We are ecstatic to be bringing Hamilton to Brisbane and to share this brilliant production with even more Australians,” he said.

“Queensland fans have been waiting so patiently and it will have been absolutely worth it when our talented cast heads north, bringing the revolution to the Sunshine State.”

Hamilton premiered on Broadway in 2015 and quickly soared to popularity, bagging Tony, Grammy and Olivier awards, and even a Pulitzer Prize for drama.

The show blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and traditional musical theatre in a re-telling the story of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton.

Brisbane talent Sami Afuni, who recently joined the company to play Hercules Mulligan / James Madison is thrilled to bring the musical to his hometown.

“It’s an honour to join this incredible company, and to get to perform the show in my hometown is beyond anything I could have imagined.

“I know Brisbane will have a special connection with this inspiring story of ‘rising up’, and I am so grateful to be a part of that.”

Tickets for the Brisbane season go on sale Monday, September 12, with pre-sale tickets available via a waitlist from 10am on Monday, September 5.
