Hamilton is about to burst onto the Australian stage. We meet the musical's Tony Award-winning director Thomas Kail, whose friendship and collaboration with Lin-Manuel Miranda stretches back twenty years.

Also, we meet the show's George Washington, Māori performer Matu Ngaropo, and find out what it means to play this complex historical figure, and we phone a stranger in A Thousand Ways — but what makes it theatre? We ask creators 600 Highwaymen.
