The news immediately received more than 300 likes on the theatre's Facebook page. The award-winning musical - a song and rap spectacular - is written by Lin-Manuel Miranda and based on the 2004 book Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow which tells the story of America's founding father Alexander Hamilton.
First performed in 2015, it has gone on to win a raft of accolades including Tony Awards and a Pulitzer Prize for drama.
