This original Broadway cast member is heading back to the room where it happens! Leslie Odom Jr., who won a Tony Award for his performance as Aaron Burr, will return to Hamilton on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre this September.
Beginning performances on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, Odom will play a strictly limited engagement through Sunday, November 23, 2025. Tickets are now on sale on Broadway Direct, the primary ticketing provider for Hamilton on Broadway.
This return engagement comes as Hamilton prepares to mark a major milestone with the musical’s tenth anniversary on Broadway this summer, on August 6, 2025.
“Returning to Hamilton is a deeply meaningful homecoming,” said Leslie Odom, Jr. “I’m so grateful for the chance to step back into the room—especially during this anniversary moment—and to revisit this brilliant piece that forever changed my life and the lives of so many.”
“When I saw Leslie perform ‘The Room Where It Happens’ at the first act two workshop of Hamilton, I knew I was witnessing a historic moment. How lucky we are that Leslie is returning to Hamilton and bringing his indelible Burr back to Broadway,” said Hamilton’s lead producer Jeffrey Seller.
Odom originated the role of Aaron Burr in Hamilton’s Off-Broadway and Broadway productions, earning a Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Musical and a Grammy Award as a principal soloist on the Original Broadway Cast Recording.
Last season, Odom made his Broadway return in the acclaimed revival of Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch by Ossie Davis. The production earned six Tony Award nominations, including one for Odom’s performance, and aired as part of PBS’ Great Performances.
Hamilton is the story of America then, told by America now. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and Broadway, Hamilton has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theater – a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education.
With book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, Hamilton is based on Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography. It has won Tony, Grammy, and Olivier Awards, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and an unprecedented special citation from the Kennedy Center Honors.
