Hamilton the Musical has won 11 Tony Awards, a Grammy, a Pulitzer Prize and has been seen by more than two million people on Broadway alone. From March next year, it’ll be our turn.
Before the pandemic, NSW government modelling predicted Hamilton would bring more than 130,000 visitors to the state and generate over $84 million in visitor expenditure.
Australian producer Michael Cassel has said the show cannot be staged unless able to play to a full house but ‘remains confident’ social distancing restrictions will have changed by opening night next year.
In this episode, national editor Tory Maguire is joined by senior culture writer Nathanael Cooper to discuss how the production will fare in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
