We chat to Hamilton's Schuyler Sisters plus first look at footage from the show

As Lin-Manuel Miranda's smash hit musical Hamilton prepares to open, we popped into the room where it happens to chat to Rachel John, Rachelle Ann Go and Christine Allado, also known as the Schuyler Sisters.

The musical stars Jamael Westman in the title role of Alexander Hamilton alongside Giles Terera as Aaron Burr, Michael Jibson as King George, Rachelle Ann Go as Eliza Schuyler Hamilton, Rachel John as Angelica Schuyler, Christine Allado as Peggy Schuyler and Obioma Ugoala as George Washington.

The show opened off-Broadway in 2015, before transferring to Broadway the same year. It tells the story of founding father Alexander Hamilton and won 11 Tony Awards and a Pulitzer Prize.

Hamilton is currently running at the Victoria Palace Theatre, London.
