Final tickets are scheduled for release on Thursday, June 4, at 10:00 am, for Broadway star Leslie Odom, Jr.’s highly anticipated West End debut in "Hamilton." The Tony and Grammy Award-winning actor will reprise his iconic original role as Aaron Burr for a strictly limited, nine-week engagement at London's Victoria Palace Theatre, running from July 3 through September 5.
Odom initially won widespread critical acclaim for originating the role of Alexander Hamilton’s historical rival on Broadway, a performance that also earned him a Grammy for the show's multi-platinum original cast recording. Beyond his landmark stage career, the actor is widely recognized for his Academy Award-nominated portrayal of soul legend Sam Cooke in the film "One Night in Miami..." and his roles in major cinematic releases such as "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery."
The special West End residency coincides with the production's ninth successful year in London, where the Olivier Award-winning musical has been breaking box office records since 2017. While the standard run is currently booking through March 2027, Odom's specific summer performances have seen unprecedented demand.
A select portion of premium tickets will be dynamically priced at £500, with a substantial £225 from each sale being funneled directly back into the production's extensive local community initiatives. Fully backed by Cameron Mackintosh and the creative team, 100% of these charitable proceeds will fund the prominent "EduHam" outreach scheme. This program provides heavily subsidized ten-pound tickets, interactive workshops, and dedicated backstage work experience placements specifically targeted at underprivileged and underrepresented young theatergoers across the United Kingdom.
The star is scheduled to perform in all weekly show slots across the summer season, with brief exceptions scheduled in late July. He will lead an elite London company that features Stephenson Ardern-Sodje in the title role of Alexander Hamilton, alongside Yeukayi Ushe, Georgina Onuorah, and Daniel Boys. Featuring Lin-Manuel Miranda’s revolutionary book, music, and lyrics, the staging continues to stand as a landmark cultural fixture in the capital.
