There’s a new king over at Hamilton! On Tuesday, September 12, Jarrod Spector begins performances on Broadway in Hamilton at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, taking over the role of King George III. Euan Morton, who first started playing the role in 2017, played his final performance on September 10.
Spector made his Broadway debut at nine-years-old as Gavroche in the original production of Les Miserables and went on to play a record-breaking 1500 performances as Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys on Broadway. He was nominated for a Tony Award for his performance as Barry Mann in Beautiful – The Carole King Musical, and recently starred in the MUNY’s acclaimed production of Chess. Hamilton marks Spector’s return to Broadway for the first time since taking his final bow as Sonny Bono in The Cher Show in August of 2019.
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 theatre—a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education.
