It seems that King Jorge III was right when he sang “Be Be Back”: Leslie Odom Jr. will return to the Broadway stage to repeat his role as Aaron Burr in “Hamilton,” announced exclusively live in “Today” on Monday.
Odom – who won a Tony for the best leading actor in a musical in 2016 for his interpretation of Aaron Burr, as well as a Grammy for his original Broadway recording in 2015, will have a limited race as a character from September 9 to November 23, 2025.
Odom’s announcement of his return occurs when “Hamilton” celebrates his 10th anniversary on Broadway.
“Back to ‘Hamilton’ is a deeply significant return to home,” Odom said in a press release. “I am very grateful for the opportunity to return to the room, especially during this anniversary moment and review this brilliant piece that changed my life and the life of many.”
Odom played Burr for the first time in the production of “Hamilton” out of Broadway and joined the original cast when the program arrived in Broadway in August 2015. He left the show in July 2016 at the same time, the stars Phillipa Soo and Lin-Manuel Miranda, who is also the creator of the program. This will be the first time you repeat the paper on Broadway.
He will take the stage at the Richard Rodgers Theater in Broadway, where he has been “Hamilton” since his Broadway debut.
Odom grew a particular fame of the song “The Room Where It Happens”, which allows a vision of the thirst for knowledge of his character and shows his vocal skill.
“When I saw Leslie play ‘The Room Where It Happens’ in the first Two Law Workshop of ‘Hamilton’, I knew I was witnessing a historical moment,” said Jeffrey Seller, the main producer of “Hamilton”, in the press release. “How fortunate we have to return to Hamilton and bring its abundant indelible back to Broadway.”
Since “Hamilton” starred, Odom has explored cinema, television and other musicals, which appear in works such as “Glass Onion: to Knives Out Mystery”, “Harriet”, “Abbott Elementary” and causing his Broadway return to return in the Renaissance of “Purmie Victorious: not confederate through the cotton patch.”
He also launched five studio albums, wrote a memory called “Failing Up” and was co -author of a book for children with his wife called “I love you more than you never know.”
