Why Lin-Manuel Miranda didn’t cast this ‘son of a Scotsman, who grew up to be a hero and a scholar’, is one of musical history’s great mysteries but keep an eye out just in case, on your Hamilton hols in London.
Now there are many reasons to visit The Big Smoke.
And right up there is a night out in the town in Theatreland.
And as rich as the theatre experience is in Ireland fans of the stage relish too getting across the water.
To watch theatre in the West End.
Thankfully we have our dream makers, the travel agents of the Irish Travel Agents Association to put packages together for us.
West End boys and West End girls
And so as an Easter treat they are flagging up Wallace Travel Group’s three nights in London from April 7-10 at the 3* central St Giles Hotel.
Where you’ll be in easy access to the Oxford Street shops.
And the British Museum, Covent Gardens and those West End theatres.
With the best the award-winning Hamilton on April 8 as the highlight of your trip at the Victoria Palace Theatre, bettered only by Hamilton on Broadway in New York.
And direct flights, 10kg luggage, airline taxes, three-nights hotel, room only basis and those gold dust tickets.
Now if that means you leaving a free house for your party-loving teens.
To bring their daft pals around then that’s just a price you’ll have to pay.
The Earth moves
But just for your peace of mind, best maybe to turn off your phones through the production.
Otherwise you might find your enjoyment curtailed when you get a phone call from the neighbours.
Just when the cast of Carole King’s Beautiful are jigging away to I Feel the Earth Move.
And the earth and much else was moving in Greystones, Co. Wicklow.
Or was that just us.
Go on yersel, enjoy your Hamilton hols in London.
