If you’re willing to wait for it you’ll soon get another chance to see an iconic, award-winning Broadway performance. The man who first brought Aaron Burr to the Big Apple’s biggest stage is coming back. Hamilton‘s Leslie Odom, Jr. will reprise his role as Aaron Burr this fall on Broadway. His limited run return is part of the musical’s tenth anniversary celebration.
New York City is about to see a killer return. Specifically it’s going to see the return of the person who played the person who killed Alexander Hamilton. Leslie Odom, Jr. is returning to the role that won him 2016’s Tony for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical.
The talented performer shared the news (which we first heard about at Variety) on social media. “I kinda feel like I was born onstage at the Richard Rodgers theater,” he wrote. “[Hamilton] opened on my actual birthday a decade ago and then proceeded to introduce me to the version of myself I’d waited a lifetime to meet. For twelve weeks this fall, starting on 9/9/25, I will return to the place of my birth. Gonna feel so good to be home. See you soon!”
His run will take him through November 23. It will also mark the first time he has played the role—which he first performed off-Broadway in 2015 ahead of the show’s August 6, 2015 Broadway premiere—in July 2016. While the musical has gone on to be staged around the world, with countless actors playing Alexander Hamilton’s greatest antagonist, Disney+ made it possible for everyone to see Odom, Jr.’s performance. It recorded the show, alongside the original Broadway cast, and it is still available to watch today.
But seeing him sing onscreen is not the same as being in the room where it happened. And for those who are willing to wait for it, they’ll soon get that chance again.
