The producers of Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical Hamilton have invited actors to submit video auditions for stand-by roles in the London production.

According to the post, producers are seeking male actors in their 20s and 30s of all ethnic backgrounds who are able to sing, rap and act. Actors can send brief videos of themselves performing one pop/rock song and one rap song via YouTube or Vimeo.

To be considered, actors must send their video along with a current photo and CV to hamiltoncasting@camack.co.uk (see full details below).

The deadline to submit auditions is 7 June, with recalls taking place in London the following week. Successful applicants must be available to start auditions in September, and for a one-year contract until November 2018.

Initial casting for the musical has been announced and includes Giles Terera, Rachelle Ann Go, Rachel John and Obioma Ugoala.

Hamilton will open at the Victoria Palace Theatre on 7 December, with previews from 21 November.
