What a way for Sydney to show the world that we’re open for business, welcoming visitors and really embracing the roaring 2020s.”   Hamilton will open at Sydney Lyric Theatre from 17 March 2021.   Note to editors Videos available to download here* *Required credit: Australian Premiere of Hamilton now showing at Sydney Lyric Theatre in Sydney, Australia  For more information, visit  www.visitnsw.com.    Share your favourite Sydney and NSW holidays on social media by using the hashtag #LoveNSW or #NewSouthWales.   Visit NSW Social Media    Twitter Sydney #ilovesydney #LoveNSW @sydney_sider   Twitter NSW #LoveNSW #NewSouthWales @NewSouthWales   Instagram Sydney #ilovesydney #LoveNSW @sydney   Instagram NSW #LoveNSW #NewSouthWales @VisitNSW   Facebook Sydney facebook.com/sydney #ilovesydney #LoveNSW   Facebook NSW facebook.com/visitnsw #LoveNSW #NewSouthWales    Please stay up to date on the latest NSW Government health advice regarding COVID-19 and travel within NSW, here.
