The latest production of Hamilton just went up down under. The musical, which just opened at the Sydney Lyric Theatre, is now selling tickets through November and fans can't get enough. Variety estimates that Hamilton has already sold 250,000 advance tickets, bringing in approximately A$40 million.

"I questioned back in September what will be the impact of COVID and it hasn't had an impact at all. We couldn't be happier," said producer Michael Cassel.

"I feel like we are reborn and we are back to the life we love and we'll now appreciate it even more than we did before," said Broadway producer Jeffrey Seller.

When might the show be back on Broadway? "We are going to have to follow the science of vaccination and wait 'til vaccination extinguishes or pushes down the virus far enough that it's safe for us to get back in the room together," he added.
