The dates for an award-winning American musical soon to tread the boards of a Norwich theatre have been announced. 

Norwich Theatre Royal has confirmed that Hamilton will play a six-week season from September 16 to October 25 in 2025 with tickets going on sale from September next year. 

Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway, Hamilton tells the story of how Alexander Hamilton went on to become a founding father of America and George Washington's second in command. 

The Olivier, Tony, Grammy and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical opened at Victoria Palace Theatre in London in December 2017 where it continues to play to sell-out houses and is currently booking until March 2024.

"This show combines an incredible mix of song style and writing for theatre, plus an authenticity of storytelling and representation of diversity.

"We are beyond ecstatic to be able to bring this revolutionary musical to audiences in the East."

A brand new company for the UK and Ireland tour is currently being assembled and will be announced soon.
