One of the stars of Hamilton says it’s “such a beautiful feeling” to bring the show to Scotland.
The musical is set to enjoy a nine-week run in Edinburgh’s Festival Theatre.
Honey Joseph is the only Scottish cast member in the touring production.
The 24-year-old actress grew up in Cardross, Argyll and Bute.
“I’m Scottish, I grew up here, I trained in Edinburgh,” she says.
“I used to listen to the Hamilton soundtrack as I walked down the street in Edinburgh so I can’t describe how special this is for me.
“It’s such a full circle moment. Hamilton’s family were Scottish for a start so it’s paying homage to him and his history.”
Alexander Hamilton was the descendant of a Scottish nobleman and one of the founding fathers of America.
The musical was created by the American actor and writer Lin-Manuel Miranda in 2015.
Part of what drew him to the subject was Alexander Hamilton’s difficult relationship with his Scottish heritage.
He was born in the mid-1750s on the Caribbean island of Nevis, the illegitimate son of James Hamilton, who was the fourth son of an Ayrshire laird.
Alexander was abandoned by his father and orphaned as a teenager when his mother died. But he used all his wits and abilities to get to New York, where he worked as a trader and self-funded his studies at university.
He became involved in the revolutionary cause, writing and publishing pamphlets, and served as an artillery officer fighting against the British in the American war of independence.
He helped draft the US constitution and served as treasury secretary in George Washington’s first cabinet before dying in a duel with Vice President Aaron Burr in 1804.
Miranda – who is of Puerto Rican and Afro-American heritage – used Hip-hop and street dance and a diverse cast of mainly non-white performers to create his musical telling the story of Hamilton’s life.
He describes the show as being about America then but told by Americans now.
It went on to win 11 Tony awards and over nine years has become one of the highest grossing musicals ever, taking close to $1bn across the world.
And now it has come to Scotland.
Hamilton is at the Edinburgh Festival Theatre until April 27.
