Hamilton, Original Australian Company

Daniel Assetta was a member of the original Australian company of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s global phenomenon, "Hamilton." After seeing the show in New York and being moved by its "buzz" and energy, Daniel's journey came full circle when he was cast in the premiere production at the Sydney Lyric Theatre. As the original Samuel Seabury, he brought a distinct comedic and vocal flair to the loyalist character, while also serving as an understudy for the iconic role of King George III.

Hamilton is above all an ensemble show. The crisp chorus led front and centre by Daniel Assetta was impeccable." — Stage Whispers

The Australian production held significant global weight, being the first and only staging of Hamilton running in the world following the 2021 theater shutdowns. Critics praised the company for its "unique heartbeat" and "bright and brilliant" performances, noting that the cast successfully made the revolutionary story their own. Daniel’s contribution to the ensemble and his principal role as Seabury were integral to a production that reviewers called "sensationally potent" and "the most exciting musical of the decade".
