Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, April 20) — Good news for “Hamilton” fans — the hit musical will be adding show dates for its Philippine leg.
GMG Productions announced on Thursday that Hamilton will be extending its Manila run until Nov. 26, citing an “overwhelming demand” in the ticket pre-sale which started earlier in the day.
“New tickets will be made available to the waitlist and the general public,” it said in its advisory.
Written by actor-playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hamilton was initially supposed to close on Nov. 12.
The award-winning sung-and-rapped-through musical narrates the life of Alexander Hamilton, one of North America’s foremost founding fathers. The play is also based on Ron Chernow’s 2004 book of the same name.
The show will premiere in Manila on Sept. 17.
