'Hamilton' Holds Nationwide Video Auditions

'Hamilton' holds ongoing video auditions for talented rappers, actors and performers for Broadway, touring and London productions.

If you can’t get tickets to the smash Broadway hit Hamilton, why not audition to be in it? Producers are on the lookout for talented performers to join the cast of the national touring production, the Broadway show and its newest London company addition. The show is holding ongoing video auditions for rappers and adult performers for a coveted part in the show.

Hamilton is the groundbreaking musical penned by Lin-Manuel Miranda. The show incorporates hip hop music and an ethnically diverse cast to re-tell the story of America’s founding in a modern and entertaining way. The critically acclaimed musical has racked up numerous awards, including twelve Tonys, the Pulitzer Prize for drama and a Grammy.
