“I’m thrilled to bring Hamilton to Abu Dhabi and continue the show’s global journey. Hamilton’s themes of hope, equality, and the power of storytelling are universal, and I believe they will resonate deeply with audiences in the Middle East,” commented Michael Cassel AM, the producer and chief executive officer of Michael Cassel Group – the leading live entertainment company behind the production of Hamilton.
