Twenty-seven original cast members of the groundbreaking musical will reunite for a special performance at the Tony Awards on June 8.

NEW YORK — They’ll be back: Members of the original Broadway cast of “Hamilton” will reunite for a special performance at the 78th Annual Tony Awards on June 8, CBS and Tony Award Productions said in an announcement that should leave fans of the musical satisfied. 

The reunion marks 10 years since the smash success first opened on Broadway. 

Twenty-seven original cast members are confirmed to participate, including creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, Daveed Diggs, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Christopher Jackson, Leslie Odom Jr., Phillipa Soo, Ariana DeBose and Jonathan Groff. It has not been announced what they will perform. 

Leslie Odom Jr., who starred as Aaron Burr opposite Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Alexander Hamilton, also revealed in April that he will make a special return to the room where it happened, reprising his Tony Award-winning role at the Richard Rodgers Theatre from Sept. 9 through Nov. 23. Odom and Miranda both left the show in July 2016.

The musical made Tony Awards history with a record 16 nominations and 11 wins, including Best Musical. “Hamilton” has since won a Grammy Award, Olivier Award and Pulitzer Prize for Drama, plus received a special citation from the Kennedy Center Honors. A filmed version of the musical became available on Disney+ in 2020 and won an Emmy for Outstanding Variety Special.

The show’s original Broadway cast recording recently became the first in history to earn diamond certification from the Recording Industry Association of America.

Cynthia Erivo, a Tony, Emmy and Grammy winner and three-time Oscar nominee, will host the Tony Awards this year. The show will air live from Radio City Music Hall from 8 to 11 p.m. ET on CBS and stream on Paramount+ in the United States.

Renée Elise Goldsberry, who originated the role of Angelica Schuyler, will co-host “The Tony Awards: Act One” preshow with Darren Criss before the awards show. It will stream on Pluto TV from 6:40 to 8 p.m. ET.
