Hamilton is coming to the Philippines!

Earlier today (28/03), playwright, actor and rapper Lin-Manuel Miranda announced the Asian premiere of his award-winning musical via the newly created Hamilton International Tour Facebook and Instagram pages.

"We've had so many incredible Filipino company members, part of the Hamilton pamilya (family), all over tthe world, and now we get to bring the show to your beautiful country very soon. I can't wait for you to see it." Miranda said in the video message. Actors of Filipino descent who have been part of the cast include Marc dela Cruz, Christine Allado and Rachelle Ann Go.

Starting out as a hip-hop concept album, Hamilton is a musical about the American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, based on Ron Chernow's eponymous novel. It is acclaimed for drawing heavily from genres not usually associated with Broadway, such as R&B and hip-hop, as well as casting non-white actors as iconic figures in the history of the United States. 

Instructions on how to purchase tickets to the show are yet to be announced but fans are encouraged to sign up for the waitlist for pre-sale access. Sign up for the list here.
