Hamilton, Matilda The Musical and Dear Evan Hansen are slated to be performed here in 2024. Read more at straitstimes.com.

The sung-and-rapped-through biographical musical, which covers the life of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and his involvement in the American Revolution up to his death in 1804, is ground-breaking in terms of its score, which draws heavily from hip-hop, jazz and R&B, together with traditional show tunes.

Actor Brent Hill played the role of King George III in the Australian tour of Hamilton, which ran from 2021 to April 2023.

In 2011, it debuted at West End, and clinched seven Olivier Awards in 2012, including for Best New Musical. The show then made its way to Broadway in 2013, where it won four Tonys, including Best Book of a Musical.

Life with his single mother is miserable, he has been nursing a secret love for an unattainable girl, and his school life is a freak show, until a strange encounter with another misfit leads to an out-of-control sequence of events that transforms life for Evan and everyone else.
