Tony and Grammy Award-winner Leslie Odom, Jr. is set to reprise his celebrated performance as ‘Aaron Burr’ in the smash hit London production of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “HAMILTON” at the Victoria Palace Theatre this summer.

He returned to the role on Broadway for a sell-out 12 week season in the Autumn of last year.
Leslie Odom, Jr. said today:
“Returning to Hamilton and revisiting the role of Aaron Burr with the growth and perspective of time has been a profoundly healing artistic experience. I am having so much fun! I am thankful to Cameron Mackintosh and Jeffrey Seller for the invitation to make my West End debut with this fabulous company. The London production will grant me a few more glorious weeks to share Lin-Manuel’s music with an international audience who, I have learned, love this show as much, if not more, than I. I’m crossing the ocean and I just can’t wait.”
