She has made many of her interview subjects feel pretty uncomfortable and unloved at times but we’re assuming the ABC’s Leigh Sales will go easy on HAMILTON creator Lin-Manuel Miranda.
She will be grilling (ever so lightly we assume) Miranda on stage at QPAC on March 5 and you’d love to see that right?
Well actually you can and it won’t cost you a cent but you will have to be quick. Fans of Hamilton will be able to join the audience as Leigh Sales interviews Lin-Manuel Miranda on the Lyric Theatre stage at QPAC in Brisbane.
A limited number of tickets will be made available for diehard fans of the show to witness the interview. Miranda and Sales will also be joined on the stage by Australia’s Alexander Hamilton, Jason Arrow, who will share his experience of playing the role in Australia.
Fans will be able to enter to win tickets to the event, which will be free of charge, from 10am today until 10am AEST on Wednesday, February 22 via qpac.com.au.
Winners will be drawn on February 22 and notified by email.
