Award-winning Broadway musical Hamilton coming to Auckland's Spark Arena in 2023

Award-winning Broadway production Hamilton, the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton, is to play a limited season of shows at Auckland's Spark Arena in 2023.

The show, which premiered on Broadway in August 2015, has won Tony, Grammy and Olivier Awards in its run - and even taken the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Blending hip-hop and history, the stage show will star Jason Arrow as Alexander Hamilton and Matu Ngaropo as George Washington.

Its Aotearoa run will take place at Auckland's Spark Arena, starting May 2023.

"Australia has embraced Hamilton with an enthusiasm we could never have imagined," Hamilton Producer Jeffrey Seller said. 

"Now it is time for our sensational Australian cast to continue their success in the southern hemisphere when the show premieres in New Zealand."

Hamilton was written by playwright and composer Lin-Manel Miranda, who also played the title role in the first Broadway production.

General tickets go on sale Monday, December 5 at 12pm from Ticketmaster.
