Where are the original 'Hamilton' Broadway cast members now?

In celebration of the blockbuster musical's 10th anniversary and the cast's reunion at the 2025 Tony Awards, take a look at their careers on stage and screen.

A perfect 10. We expect nothing less when the original cast of Hamilton, led by creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, reunites at Radio City Music Hall for the 2025 Tony Awards on Sunday, June 8. They’re there to celebrate the 10th Broadway anniversary of the blockbuster show, which won 11 Tonys of its own, including Best Musical, at the 2016 ceremony.

Since opening on August 6, 2015, at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, the Pulitzer Prize, Grammy, and Tony-winning hip-hop history musical has become a global sensation. The so-called “$10 founding father” Alexander Hamilton, who built America's financial system and fought an infamous duel with Aaron Burr, is now a household name.

The same goes for the original Hamilton Broadway cast, last seen all together in the Emmy-winning film capture of the stage production. Many had already established themselves on stage, but the show did wonders for boosting their profiles further and giving them new opportunities. Turns out there were still a million things the actors hadn’t done, but just you wait.

Read on for a look at what the cast have been up to and where they are now. Plus, tune in to watch them on the 78th annual Tony Awards, broadcast live from 8-11 p.m. E.T. on CBS and Paramount+. Find out how to watch.

Lin-Manuel Miranda

History — and Hollywood — had its eye on Lin-Manuel Miranda, who won Tonys for his Hamilton score and book and is now only an Oscar away from an EGOT. He has since contributed music to several Disney films including Moana, Encanto, The Little Mermaid, Mary Poppins Returns (which he starred in), and Mufasa: The Lion King.

Miranda made his directorial debut with Netflix’s movie musical tick, tick… BOOM! and produced a film adaptation of his 2008 Best Musical winner In the Heights starring original Hamilton cast member Anthony Ramos.

Following an acting gig in HBO’s His Dark Materials, he teamed up in 2024 with Eisa Davis to release a concept album based on the 1979 film The Warriors. He returned to Broadway earlier this year to act in All In: Comedy About Love.

Leslie Odom Jr.

Leslie Odom, Jr. won a Tony as Aaron Burr, who fired the shot that killed Hamilton. Since then, Odom etched Emmy nods in 2020 for Apple TV+’s Central Park and for the filmed version of Hamilton on Disney+ in 2021.

He hasn’t had to wait for it in terms of movie projects — Odom's credits include Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Harriet, and Murder on the Orient Express. In 2020, he received two Oscar nominations for playing legendary singer Sam Cooke in One Night in Miami…: one for Best Supporting Actor, the other for writing the song “Speak Now.”

Besides releasing four albums — Mr., Simply Christmas, The Christmas Album, and When a Crooner Dies – Odom returned to Broadway to produce and star in 2023's Purlie Victorious, notching Tony nominations for Best Lead Actor and Best Play Revival. Now, Odom returns to Hamilton from September 9 to November 26.

Jonathan Groff

After Jonathan Groff ended his Tony-nominated run as King George III in Hamilton, he starred in Netflix’s dark drama Mindhunter and reprised his role as Kristoff in Frozen II, first voicing the character in the pre-Hamilton original film in 2013.

He returned to the stage as Seymour in the 2019 Off-Broadway revival of Little Shop of Horrors and, in 2022, was a producer on the documentary Spring Awakening: Those You’ve Known since he'd starred in the 2005 Broadway production. In 2024, he won a Tony for playing Franklin Shepard in Merrily We Roll Along, a revival transferred from Off Broadway, and is currently up for another for playing Bobby Darin in Just In Time.

Tony-nominated for playing George Washington in Hamilton, Christopher Jackson took his final bow in November 2016.

He can be heard as Chief Tui in Disney’s Moana and seen in cameos in Miranda's films In the Heights and tick, tick…BOOM!

Jackson returned to Broadway for Freestyle Love Supreme and is now starring in Alicia Keys's musical Hell’s Kitchen as Davis.

Renée Elise Goldsberry

Renée Elise Goldsberry’s Tony-winning and Emmy-nominated turn as Angelica Schuyler in Hamilton was a reminder that she always leaves audiences “Satisfied” and then some. Since her final bow at the Richard Rodgers, she’s played the title role in The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and belted as Wickie Roy in Girls5eva, with other TV credits including Altered Carbon, Documentary Now!, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.

Goldsberry was back on stage as Prospero in The Tempest for Shakespeare in the Park. She briefly returned to Broadway in December 2024 for All In: Comedy About Love.

Jasmine Cephas Jones

Work! Since turning heads in Hamilton playing dual roles of Peggy Schuyler and Maria Reynolds, Jasmine Cephas Jones has had a fruitful screen career. She starred as Ashley in Blindspotting, written by fellow Hamilton alum Daveed Diggs, and reprised the role as lead and producer of its spinoff series.

In 2020, she made Emmy history as the first Black woman to win Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama for #freeRayShawn. Her EP Blue Bird came out in 2020, she released her debut album Phoenix four years later, and she appears as Swan on Lin-Manuel Miranda's Warriors concept album.

Phillipa Soo

Since earning a 2016 Tony nomination for playing Eliza Schuyler, Phillipa Soo has been a recurring presence in Broadway musicals and plays. Her credits include the title role in Amélie, a wannabe politico in The Parisian Woman, Cinderella in Into the Woods, and Guenevere in Camelot, plus Inez Milholland in the world premiere of the Tony-winning Suffs off Broadway.

On TV, Soo has appeared in The Bite, Dopesick, and Shining Girls. In fall 2024, she began starring in Ryan Murphy’s glossy ABC drama Doctor Odyssey alongside Joshua Jackson. Plus, listen up for Soo in Lin-Manuel Miranda's Warriors concept album as Fox.

Daveed Diggs

Daveed Diggs won a 2016 Tony for his roles as Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson in Hamilton and earned a 2021 Emmy nomination for the filmed version. He followed this performance by writing, producing, and starring in the 2018 film Blindspotting, which led to a TV spinoff he also co-created and acted in.

His screen work includes Snowpiercer, Wonder, and Disney’s live-action The Little Mermaid. On stage, he starred in Suzan-Lori Parks’s White Noise at The Public Theater — where Hamilton originated — in 2019. Diggs’s more recent films include Nickel Boys and Magic Hour.

Anthony Ramos

After doing double duty in Hamilton as soldier and statesman John Laurens and the founding father’s son Philip, Ramos continued his work with Miranda. In 2018, he starred as Usnavi in the Kennedy Center’s In the Heights and, three years later, in the film adaptation.

Ramos will not appear at the Tonys reunion, but you can look for him in the movies A Star Is Born, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, and the 2024 action hit Twisters. Ramos’s work as a musician can be heard on The Freedom EP and his albums The Good & the Bad and Love and Lies.

Okieriete Onaodowan

After playing Hercules Mulligan and James Madison in Hamilton, Okieriete Onaodowan returned to Broadway as Pierre in Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812.

His TV credits include The Get Down, Jack Ryan, She’s Gotta Have It, and Station 19, a gig that grew out of a Grey’s Anatomy guest spot. He also appeared in A Quiet Place: Part II and American Fiction.

Ariana DeBose

DeBose’s career has taken off like a, well, bullet since her role as “the Bullet” in the Hamilton ensemble. She gained widespread acclaim for playing Anita in Steven Spielberg’s 2021 film West Side Story, earning Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild Awards.

DeBose also appeared in the Apple TV+ series Schmigadoon!; voiced Asha in Disney’s Wish; hosted the Tony Awards in 2022, 2023, and 2024; and appeared in films like Kraven the Hunter, Argylle, and Love Hurts.

The Hamilton ensemble

For the 10th anniversary reunion at the Tonys, the Hamilton principals will be joined by the original ensemble, who’ve also gone on to exciting projects since leaving the show at the Richard Rodgers. Ephraim Sykes, recently seen on Broadway in Our Town, was up for a 2019 Tony for playing David Ruffin in Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations. Sydney James Harcourt was seen off Broadway as the Rum Tum Tugger in Cats: The Jellicle Ball, and audiences hope he comes back for the show's rumored NYC return. Thayne Jasperson has the distinction of being the sole original ensemble member still with the show.
