“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, ” lead producer Jeffrey Seller shared.
“How lucky we are that Leslie is returning to Hamilton and bringing his indelible Burr back to Broadway,”
“Hamilton” opened on Broadway on August 6, 2015, and went on to win 11 Tony Awards and the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
