Christopher Jackson to Return to Hamilton on Broadway

Christopher Jackson, who originated the role of George Washington in Hamilton, has returned to the role at Broadway’s Richard Rodgers Theatre.

“Returning to Hamilton as George Washington is a deeply meaningful homecoming,” said Jackson in a statement. “This show changed my life, and it remains one of the great honors of my career to be part of telling this story.”

A Tony nominee for Hamilton, Jackson received a Grammy Award as a principal soloist on the original Broadway cast recording. He can also be seen in the filmed version of Hamilton, which is streaming on Disney+.

The winner of 11 Tony Awards, Hamilton is one of the most successful Broadway musicals ever. It tells the story of America’s first treasury secretary using radio-ready pop and hip-hop songs. Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the book, music, and lyrics, with direction by Thomas Kail, and choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler.
