Exciting casting news for the UK & Ireland tour of Hamilton! ArtsEd alumnus Marley Fenton, School of Musical Theatre (BA) Graduate 2023, will step into the iconic role of Alexander Hamilton. This news shortly comes after Fenton winning the 2024 Black British Theatre Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Musical for his role of the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz.
We are all delighted for Marley and his new role as Alexander Hamilton in the UK tour of Hamilton. He will become the youngest person to play Hamilton which is a testament to him and his outstanding talent and ability, and his work ethic. Marley graduated from the School of Musical Theatre in 2023 and since then has already begun to forge an exciting career. We wish him all the very best with this new venture and we can’t wait to see him in the show!
Jonathan O’Boyle, Director of the School of Musical Theatre
Joining Fenton are some of our other talented ArtsEd graduates:
As the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical continues to dominate the West End, booking through autumn 2025, the UK & Ireland tour adds fresh excitement to its legacy.
With book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, and musical supervision by Alex Lacamoire, Hamilton brings the story of America’s founding fathers to life. The production is enhanced by stunning designs from David Korins (scenic), Paul Tazewell (costume), Howell Binkley (lighting), Nevin Steinberg (sound), and Charles G LaPointe (hair and wigs).
The Hamilton phenomenon continues to inspire audiences across the globe – and this new cast is set to dazzle on its journey!
Congratulations everyone, we are so proud of you all and can’t wait to see you take the stage!
