Although Lin-Manuel Miranda is now a house-hold name his mega-musical sticks to its routes as it casts relatively unknown and racially diverse actors to be its leading man! Meet the men who have taken on the ten-dollar founding father.

LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA (Off-Broadway, Broadway, Puerto Rico)

Now a star in his own right Lin-Manuel Miranda not only wrote and created Hamilton but also starred as A. Ham himself! The god-father of Hamilton starred as the titular character in the original off-Broadway run at the Public Theater to the continuously sold-out run at the Richard Rodgers Theater AND a sold-out charity run in Puerto Rico. Although his time is now spent on other projects don't give up on hope to see Miranda perform as Alexander once more!

MIGUEL CERVANTES (Chicago, Broadway)

Dallas born Miguel originated the coveted role in the production's first long-running regional production in Chicago! Before Hamilton Cervantes appeared in the Broadway productions of If/Then (2014) and American Idiot (2010) and appeared on TV shows like Madam Secretary and Royal Pains. Cervantes spends his time off-stage raising awareness and funds for epilepsy care and finding a cure, his daughter sadly passed away from the condition in 2019. Although the Chicago production has now ended Cervantes' Hamilton journey hasn't ended as he steps into the role of A. Ham on Broadway in 2020!

JAMAEL WESTMAN (West End Production)
