With book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, HAMILTON is based on Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography.
The HAMILTON creative team previously collaborated on the 2008 Tony Award-winning Best Musical In the Heights.

A filmed version of the original Broadway cast was released on Disney+ on 3 July 2020.

No, die-hard fans will NOT be given an opportunity to witness this interview. Die-hard fans would be the ones to get in first and book their place. Instead, attendance at this event was decided by means of a chook raffle. You might have been the last person to register, on a whim, or the chance of getting a selfie with Miranda, but if your name came out of a hat, you're in. Die-hard fans can go to hell according to QPAC.
Was this interview recorded and will it be shared with the public? If so where and when
