We're delighted to announce that Hamilton and Me: An Actor’s Journal by Giles Terera is available to pre-order ahead of publication on 1 July – and we're offering a special £5 discount when you reserve your copy via our website.

The book is a personal inside account of the London production of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s smash-hit, multi-award-winning Hamilton, written by the actor who won the Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his performance as Aaron Burr.

Drawn from a journal Terera kept throughout the period of preparation, rehearsal and performance, it offers an honest, intimate and thrilling look at everything involved in opening a once-in-a-generation production – the triumphs, breakthroughs and doubts, the camaraderie of the rehearsal room and the moments of quiet backstage contemplation – as well as a fascinating, in-depth exploration of now-iconic songs and moments from the world-famous musical, as seen from the inside. It is illustrated with dozens of colour photographs, many of which are previously unseen, and features a Foreword by Hamilton creator and original star Lin-Manuel Miranda.
