Leslie Odom Jr. to West End
Leslie Odom Jr. will reprise his Tony-winning role as Aaron Burr in "Hamilton" for a limited West End run this summer [https://filmogaz.com/187055].
Odom Jr. won the Tony for Best Actor in a Musical for his portrayal of Burr in the original Broadway production. He'll be joining the London cast for a limited run, though specific dates have yet to be announced. The West End production of "Hamilton" has been running since 2017 at the Victoria Palace Theatre. Casting changes are common, but bringing back an original, Tony-winning performer is a major draw. Lin-Manuel Miranda's "Hamilton" continues to be a global phenomenon. Odom Jr.'s return to the role will likely boost ticket sales and renew excitement for the show in London.
