Tony and Grammy Award‑winner Leslie Odom, Jr. will reprise his acclaimed performance as Aaron Burr when the multi‑award‑winning musical Hamilton welcomes him to the West End for a nine‑week run at the Victoria Palace Theatre from 3 July to 5 September 2026.
Producers Jeffrey Seller and Cameron Mackintosh confirmed the news as priority booking opens for audiences eager to see Odom, Jr. return to the role he originated on Broadway. The sign‑up window closes at 12 noon on Wednesday 11 March, with priority booking opening on 12 March and general booking on 13 March.
Cameron Mackintosh said, “When Jeffrey Seller first invited me to see Hamilton during its New York try‑out at the Public Theater over 10 years ago, I was knocked out by Leslie Odom, Jr.’s electric performance as Aaron Burr opposite Lin‑Manuel’s unforgettably charismatic Alexander Hamilton. So, I’m absolutely thrilled that London will now be able to share the experience of Leslie for a short season, joining the brilliant new cast we have playing this revolutionary musical at the Victoria Palace Theatre.”
Leslie Odom, Jr. said, “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.”
Odom, Jr. won the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical and a Grammy Award for his work on the original cast recording. He recently returned to Broadway for a sold‑out 12‑week season and has received widespread acclaim across stage and screen.
