Lin-Manuel Miranda gave followers a strong reminder of the era-defining influence of “Hamilton” when he reunited with the musical’s unique forged for an epic efficiency at the 2025 Tony Awards Sunday night time.
Miranda, a three-time Tony winner, marked the musical’s tenth anniversary by taking the stage with co-stars Daveed Diggs, Christopher Jackson, Leslie Odom Jr., Renée Elise Goldsberry and Phillipa Soo for a medley of songs from the present, together with “My Shot,” “The Room Where It Happens,” and “Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story.”

The forged notably eschewed the colonial garb of the stage manufacturing for all-black fits and robes. The only real exception was Jonathan Groff, who winked on the royal garb of his character, King George III, by donning a crimson blazer to carry out “You’ll Be Back.”
The night’s host, Cynthia Erivo, launched the forged by noting how “Hamilton” had “reinvigorated the American theater and changed not just Broadway, but how Americans views their own history.”

Not surprisingly, the efficiency received a standing ovation.
“Hamilton” opened on Broadway in August 2015 after a smash off-Broadway run at New York’s Public Theater, garnering rapturous critiques. The musical received 11 Tony Awards, together with Finest Musical, Finest Actor in a Musical for Odom and Finest Featured Actor in a Musical for Diggs, in addition to the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The manufacturing was later captured for posterity as a Disney+ dwell particular.

Alongside the best way, there have been brushes with controversy. Earlier this yr, producer Jeffrey Vendor introduced that “Hamilton” had canceled its deliberate run on the Kennedy Middle in Washington, D.C., after President Donald Trump named himself chairman of the nationwide performing arts heart, historically a bipartisan establishment.
This season, a lot of notable “Hamilton” veterans are again on Broadway. Groff, a 2024 Tony winner for “Merrily We Roll Along,” is nominated once more this yr for his portrayal of Bobby Darin in “Just in Time.” Jackson, in the meantime, joined the forged of Alicia Keys’ musical “Hell’s Kitchen” this spring.
