The revolution returns to Sydney.
The Tony, GRAMMY, Olivier and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical ‘Hamilton’ is coming home to Sydney Lyric Theatre in 2024 – after a hugely successful season from March 2021 where it was met with overwhelming audience and critical acclaim.
From Sydney, it went on to play in Melbourne and Brisbane.
Now, fans, will have the chance to be in the room where it happens once again. . . From July 2024.
For the uninitiated, ‘Hamilton’ is the epic saga following the rise of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, as he fights for honour, love, and a legacy that would shape the course of a nation. It’s based on Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography, and is set to a score blending hip hop, jazz R&B, and Broadway.
The return of ‘Hamilton’ to Sydney is a testament to Australia’s deep appreciation and enthusiasm for the art of musical theatre. It’s palpable and alive, and we are so thrilled to be coming back!” ‘Hamilton’ Creator Lin-Manuel Miranda says.

“The demand for the show in Australia has been overwhelming and we couldn’t resist the chance to return to Sydney, where all the excitement started,” he says. “We have been overjoyed by Australia’s support and enthusiasm for theatre in general and for ‘Hamilton’ in particular. We can’t wait to be back!”
The Australian premiere season in Sydney was the first production of ‘Hamilton’ to open following the COVID-19 pandemic. The production’s Australian Producer Michael Cassel says this return will allow more people to experience the show.
“The premiere season of ‘Hamilton’ in Australia was incredibly successful, but we know so many fans missed out,” Cassel says. “We couldn’t resist the opportunity to return to Sydney one last time.”
‘Hamilton’ plays Sydney Lyric Theatre from 30 July, 2024.
