Tony-winning Hamilton original cast member Leslie Odom, Jr. returned to the Broadway company of the Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical September 9, and the audience in the room where it happened couldn't have been more excited.

Odom, Jr. was most recently on Broadway in a Tony-nominated turn in the 2023 revival of Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch. Since his breakout role in Hamilton, the actor has been seen on screen in The Good Wife, Murder on the Orient Express, One Dollar, Only, Love in the Time of Corona, Central Park, Abbott Elementary, The Many Saints of Newark, and an Oscar-nominated performance in One Night in Miami… Odom, Jr. also hosted The Tony Awards Present: Broadway’s Back on CBS.

Odom, Jr.'s return coincides with the musical's 10th Broadway anniversary. The Emmy-winning filmed version of the musical, which also features Odom, Jr., was released in movie theatres earlier this month.

“Returning to Hamilton is a deeply meaningful homecoming,” said Odom, Jr. in an earlier 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.”

"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," added Hamilton lead producer Jeffrey Seller.
