The multi-award-winning Hamilton is coming to Dublin next year with a nine-week season now confirmed for the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre. It is the first time the popular production will be performed in an Irish theatre.

Producers Jeffrey Seller and Cameron Mackintosh said they were delighted to announce that the musical will play at the Dublin venue from Tuesday 17 September to Saturday 16 November. 

An Olivier, Tony, Grammy and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical, Hamilton 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.

The musical has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theatre, featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway.

What time is it? SHOWTIME!

Ahead of the UK and Ireland tour, a brand new company is currently being assembled from over 3,000 hopeful artists with the cast soon to be announced.

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, the production continues to play to record breaking houses on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, throughout North America, in Toronto, Australia and Germany.
