his groundbreaking and spectacular show clearly displays why it has already taken Broadway and the West End by storm, and it's great to see it now reaching new audiences as it tours nationally. Whilst the lyrics come fast and thick, I never found it hard to follow and though the program includes a historical timeline of events, the broad brushstrokes of the story are deftly punctuated so that no prior knowledge of the period is required. Whether you're a die-hard fan already or experiencing Hamilton for the first time, this production will grip you from start to finish.

While not without its flaws, the production delivered where it mattered most, with stellar performances and moments of genuine emotion. If you're a fan of the musical or just looking for a night of high-energy, blood soaked, entertainment, this is one you won't want to miss.
