Pacific actors find their voice in smash musical extravaganza Hamilton

The play, which debuted on Broadway, New York in 2015, is renowned for the way it uses rap and hip hop to tell the story of one of America's Founding Fathers Alexander Hamilton, as well as being celebrated for the way it incorporates minority and people-of-colour (POC) cast members. 

PMN News reports the musical, which is written by Puerto Rican Mexican playwright and composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, has gained worldwide acclaim, spawning a Disney+ film of the production and in 2021 it was recast for an Australian production, directed by Thomas Kail.
