Lin-Manuel Miranda Confirms That He Will Not Lead the HAMILTON West End Production

Lin-Manuel Miranda has officially confirmed that he will not lead the West End production of Hamilton next year.

Miranda, who is currently in the UK preparing for "Mary Poppins," told Press Association that, "We're starting the casting now to find an amazing European cast for Hamilton, an American musical. That is really exciting. I can't wait. We've got a year to get our act together. We're going to try and find the best Hamilton we can. I'll be there cheering on opening night and I'll be there for rehearsals."

Speculation that Miranda would star in the production began last month when producer Cameron Mackintosh told The Telegraph that he would star in the production, just not at the start.

Tickets go on sale in January for the production, which will begin previews in November 2017.
