Leslie Odom, Jr. will return to Broadway‘s Hamilton this fall in a reprise of his Tony Award-winning role as Aaron Burr. Odom, a member of the original cast, returns to Hamilton nine years after he took his final bow in July 2016.
Odom Jr. originated the role of Burr in Hamilton in 2015 and has since portrayed Dr. Arbuthnot in the 2017 film Murder on the Orient Express, Draemond in the TV series Abbott Elementary, and Victor Fielding in the 2023 movie The Exorcist: Believer.
Hamilton posted on X: “Welcome back to the inimitable, original, Aaron Burr: Leslie Odom Jr! See him on Broadway September 9th – November 23rd.”
The actor and singer, 43, wrote on social media: “I kinda feel like I was born onstage at the Richard Rodgers theater. Hamilton, opened on my actual birthday a decade ago. For twelve weeks this fall, starting on 9/9/25, I’ll return to the place of my birth. Gonna feel so good to be home. See you soon! #HappyBirthday #BornAgain”
Odom begins performances on Tuesday, September 9, for a strictly limited engagement through Sunday, November 23 at Broadway’s Richard Rodgers Theatre.
The Hamilton cast presently includes Nicholas Christopher as Burr, Trey Curtis as Alexander Hamilton and Tamar Greene as George Washington. The musical also stars Jacob Guzman, Colby Lewis, Jarrod Spector, Ebrin R. Stanley, Cherry Torres, Stephanie Umoh, Morgan Anita Wood, Reanne Acasio, Adam Ali-Perez, Lauren Boyd, Amanda Braun, Jonathan Butler-Duplessis, Chloe Campbell, Marc Delacruz and Alexander Ferguson.
