Leslie Odom Jr. Returns to 'Hamilton' for 10th Anniversary at Richard Rodgers Theatre
April 14, 2025
Leslie Odom Jr., known for his Tony Award-winning role as Aaron Burr in the Broadway musical 'Hamilton,' will return to the stage from September 9 to November 23, 2025, at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.
This exciting announcement was made during a live appearance on the TODAY show, coinciding with the show's upcoming 10th anniversary.
Odom hinted at surprises for audiences during the anniversary celebrations, building anticipation for his return.
This limited engagement marks the first time Odom has reprised the role in nine years, concluding on November 23, 2025.
Odom reflected on the rarity of shows running for over ten years, comparing 'Hamilton' to his previous experience in 'Rent,' highlighting its cultural significance.
A scheduled run of 'Hamilton' at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. was recently canceled due to political reasons related to the Trump Administration's actions affecting the arts.
He was personally invited back by the show's creative team, including Lin-Manuel Miranda and Thomas Kail, and confirmed he will reprise his original role without any changes.
Tickets for Odom's performances went on sale on April 14, 2025, and are available online.
The musical, created by Lin-Manuel Miranda, offers a hip-hop infused retelling of early American history, featuring notable figures like Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson.
His children, ages 8 and 4, will see him perform as Burr for the first time, as they were born after his original run.
Odom expressed gratitude for being part of a show that has resonated deeply with audiences, especially after its streaming release on Disney+ introduced it to new fans.
Since its premiere in 2015, 'Hamilton' has grossed over $1 billion and has become one of the most successful Broadway productions in history.
