Leslie Odom Jr. to reprise role as Aaron Burr in ‘Hamilton’ on Broadway
The Tony and Grammy Award winner’s return to the hit production will mark the 10th anniversary of the Thomas Kail-helmed musical created by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
‘Hamilton” original cast member Leslie Odom, Jr. is going back to the room where it happens to reprise his Tony-winning role as Aaron Burr, the Broadway star announced Monday.
His return will mark the 10th anniversary of the musical created by Lin-Manuel Miranda and directed by Thomas Kail.
“Returning to ‘Hamilton’ is a deeply meaningful homecoming,” Odom said in a statement. “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.”
Odom will have a 12-week limited run from Sept. 9 through Nov. 23 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City. A new block of tickets went on sale Monday.

“You don’t get shows that run 10 years,” he shared. “There are a lot of shows we love, great shows, that they come and they go — that’s the nature of the theater. So for something to be embraced by the public and the culture, and the way that ‘Hamilton’ has and the way that ‘Rent’ was — it’s twice in a lifetime.”

Odom won the 2016 Tony award for Best Actor in a Musical for his role in ‘Hamilton’. (Getty)Odom, 43, first played the former Vice President — who killed fellow founding father Alexander Hamilton in a duel — in the off-Broadway run of “Hamilton” at the Public Theater before the show transferred to Broadway in August 2015.
He departed the hit production in July 2016 along with fellow stars Phillipa Soo and Miranda.
Since his “Hamilton” heyday, the Carnegie Mellon University alum went on to score two Oscar nominations for his work as Sam Cooke in Regina King‘s historical drama “One Night in Miami.” Odom also returned to Broadway in 2023 as both an actor and producer for “Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch,” which earned him Tony Award nominations for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play and Best Revival of a Play.
