Kiwi actor Matu Ngaropo, who plays George Washington in the show, told Breakfast he is excited to bring the show to his home country.

“It’s a pretty emotional feeling; just coming home full stop is a big thing if you’ve been away for a while, especially at this time," he said.

“But the show itself is such a phenomenon, and we’re blessed to be a part of it - there are a few Māori and Pasifika in the show, so for us to come home and share that with our community and whānau is emotional.”
