Hamilton: south coast dates 2025

- Phil Hewitt

Southampto­n’s Mayflower Theatre has confirmed it will be hosting the massive West End and US hit Hamilton for a sixweek season from March 18-April 26 2025.

Producers Jeffrey Seller and Cameron Mackintosh announced the news. Tickets will go on general sale from October 5 2023. Spokeswoma­n Ella Mae Willoughby said: “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 March 2 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 3,000 hopeful artists. The cast for the UK and Ireland tour will be announced soon.

“Hamilton is the story of America then, told by America now. Featuring a score that blends hiphop, 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 by Alex Lacamoire, Hamilton is based on Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography.”
