Awards show will air live next month

To mark Hamilton‘s 10th anniversary, Lin-Manuel Miranda and the production’s original cast will reunite at the Tony Awards. More than two dozen cast members — including Leslie Odom, Jr., Phillipa Soo, Daveed Diggs, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Christopher Jackson, Jonathan Groff, and Ariana DeBose — will participate. The Tony Awards will air live on CBS and Paramount+ at 8 p.m. ET on June 8.

The producers have not yet revealed which song the cast, which includes 19 other actors, will perform. When it appeared at the 2016 Tonys, the Hamilton cast performed “History Has Its Eyes on You” and “Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down).” The actors closed out that year with “The Schuyler Sisters.”

The announcement follows the news that Odom would be returning to the cast to reprise his role of Aaron Burr for a 12-week run this fall. “Returning to Hamilton is a deeply meaningful homecoming,” Odom said. “I’m so grateful for the chance to step back into the room — especially during this anniversary moment and to revisit this brilliant piece that forever changed my life and the lives of so many.”

Hamilton opened on Broadway on Aug. 6, 2015, and quickly became a runaway hit. The musical won a Grammy and an Olivier, as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and 11 Tonys. The cast recording became the first Broadway album to be certified diamond by the RIAA.

A film of the original cast’s production, shot in 2016, is available to stream on Disney+.

In 2020, Miranda reflected on the Hamilton phenomenon in an interview with Rolling Stone. When asked what his favorite part of the past decade was, he said, “Honestly, it’s the Hamilton wave that keeps cresting. I thought we’d do well with school groups [and] maybe run one or two years. Everything else has been gravy.”
