The producers of Hamilton today announced that the Tony, Grammy, Olivier and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical will make its Asian premiere in Manila, for a strictly limited season, at The Theatre at Solaire this September.
Hamilton made its southern hemisphere premiere in Sydney in March 2021, before touring Melbourne and Brisbane, and is set to embark on its first ever international tour, starting in Auckland in May. The production will then travel to Manila to make its highly anticipated Asian premiere with a cast drawn from performers all over the world.

“From the spectacular opening night in Sydney in 2021, through the sensational seasons in Melbourne, Brisbane and, soon, Auckland, audiences have embraced Hamilton with an enthusiasm we could never have imagined,” Hamilton Producer Jeffrey Seller said.
“Hamilton’s fans from the Philippines have been telling us for years how much they want to see the show; many of them have traveled to see it all over the world. It is a thrill to, finally, be able to bring it to them,” international tour producer Michael Cassel said. “Hamilton is musical theatre at its innovative, original, and transformative best. It is an absolute joy to be able to bring it to Asia for the first time and to assemble a cast of the best performers from all over the world to deliver it.”
“We could not be more excited to be hosting Hamilton’s Asian premiere in Manila,” GMG Productions’ CEO Carlos Candal said. “We know we have a passionate Hamilton fan base who is absolutely thrilled that the show is coming later this year. We know Pinoy Hamilfans will not disappoint!”
