Hamilton Australia

Zelia Rose joins the cast of Hamilton Australia for the premiere Sydney season as Understudy for Eliza Hamilton, Angelica Schuyler, Peggy/Maria and W5.

HAMILTON is the story of America then, told by America now. This “theatrical landmark transformed theatre and the way we think about history.” – The New York Times

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.

With book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, HAMILTON is based on Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography.

The Sydney Morning Herald hailed HAMILTON as “Thrillingly entertaining…It’s a level of excellence that runs like a river of gold through the writing.”

The Tony®, Grammy®, Olivier and Pulitzer Prize winning musical is now playing at the Sydney Lyric Theatre. Now booking through to November, only through Ticketmaster.

Shoe aficionados will delight in the extraordinary bespoke footwear by Christian Louboutin.

The 2019 tour follows two sold out Australian runs in the past four years.
