Wait a minute, what year is it?!

I am beyond thrilled to finally announce that I’m going to be returning to the Victoria Palace Theatre, the theatre where I made my professional debut almost 9 years ago, but this time I am going to be playing none other than ALEXANDER HAMILTON 🤯🤩🤯🤩🤯🤩🤯🤩🤯

This show has already taught me so much, but this is the start of a whole new chapter with a whole new bunch of incredibly talented people, a whole load of new “first times” to experience, and I cannot wait to get started!

I suppose, to quote the inimitable @lin_manuel, you could say:

“there’s a million things I haven’t done, but just you wait. Just you wait!”

(Sorry, I couldn’t resist 😅)

P.S. please enjoy a throwback of various photos from my first time round the block as BabyHam 😂

I couldn’t be more excited to be spending the summer in the Caribbean (via @regentsparkoat 😅) playing Daniel in the iconic #OnceOnThisIsland! ☀️🏝️☀️

This has been a legit dream role of mine since drama school, and getting the chance to reimagine this classic show, alongside a killer cast and creative team, is the best news to kick of 2023 with!

(Also, now I have a professional reason to top up my tan! 😂 What more could you ask for?!)

There really is nothing like summer in the city…*

When I got the offer to rejoin Hamilton this year I had no idea Thee @leslieodomjr would be joining us and I could never have predicted it, or how much fun it would end up being! I have, learned, laughed, and grown more than I thought possible, and I’m feeling beyond grateful today as I reflect on the singular, seismic summer we’ve just had!

For those of you who made it into the room where it happens these past few months, thank you. Your energy and enthusiasm for this beautiful behemoth of a show kept us going and reminded us all why we love it so much.

And for those of you who have still yet to come see it, what are you waiting for?! Come on down and join the fun!

But for now; #LOJSummer, over and out! 🫡💫💪🏾🇺🇸

I cannot tell you how long I’ve dreamed of this exact moment.

Of this exact photo.

The iconic pose that I’d seen before I’d even heard the soundtrack. Before I fell in love with this show. Before I became a performer. Before I made my debut covering the role.

And now it’s me hitting this pose every night, in the West End, alongside this phenomenal cast, AND sharing the stage with Broadway royalty?!

Some things really are worth the wait. 💫
