Producers Jeffrey Seller and Cameron Mackintosh have announced that Jamael Westman (Alexander Hamilton) and Michael Jibson (King George) will join the previously announced West End cast for HAMILTON which will re-open the Victoria Palace Theatre later this year following an extensive multi-million-pound renovation and expansion to the listed building.

HAMILTON is the story of America’s Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington’s right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and helped shape the very foundations of the America we know today. The score blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B and Broadway – the story of America then, as told by America now.
Winner of 11 Tony Awards including Best Musical, the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, HAMILTON has book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, is directed by Thomas Kail, with choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire. The musical is based on Ron Chernow’s biography of Alexander Hamilton.
HAMILTON is produced in London by Jeffrey Seller, Sander Jacobs, Jill Furman, The Public Theater and Cameron Mackintosh.
