One of Broadway’s greatest villains — Aaron Burr — is returning to the scene of the crime.
Starting Sept. 9, Leslie Odom Jr. will step back into the disgraced former Vice President’s shoes for the second time in his career. This time around, he’ll portray the Newark native in “Hamilton” for 12 weeks at Broadway’s Richard Rodgers Theatre.
As of now, he’s scheduled to take his final Midtown bow on Wednesday, Nov. 26.
The juicy role, which netted Odom Jr. a Tony and Grammy during his historic 2015-16 run with Lin-Manuel Miranda, is one he can’t wait to slip back into.
“Returning to ‘Hamilton’ is a deeply meaningful homecoming,” Odom, Jr. said in a statement. “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.”
According to The Associated Press, the gifted performer speculated he played Burr approximately 500 times in the mid-2010s but never tired of the part. “It still had revelation for me, and it still gave me reason to look a little deeper and focus a little harder,” he noted.
In an interview with The Today Show announcing his Great White Way comeback, he also teased more “Hamil-ten” surprises, since the show is celebrating a decade since its inception.
“I’m not breaking any other news here today,” he coyly told host Savannah Guthrie. “…but I know they have a lot of wonderful things planned. It’s a big deal and we’re going to celebrate all year long.”
If you’d like to be in the err, umm, uhh, “Room Where It Happens” (sorry), tickets are available for all 88 Leslie Odom Jr. “Hamilton” shows.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats for any one performance was $634 including fees on Vivid Seats.
Based on our findings, all other shows have tickets starting anywhere from $637 to $1,613 including fees. Seats for Odom Jr.’s opening night are $642 including fees; the final show is going for $656 including fees.
Although that’s certainly pricey, keep in mind it was reported by Financial Planner LA that “Hamilton” tickets were going for as high as $42.5K in 2017. All of a sudden, tickets under $700 doesn’t sound so bad.
