Hamilton Original Cast Reunites at 2025 Tony Awards – Full Lineup & Details
You guys. This is not a drill. The original Hamilton cast is coming back—on stage—at the 2025 Tony Awards. I mean, if you’re anything like me and still have the “Room Where It Happens” chorus stuck in your head years later, this is the kind of news that makes you stop what you’re doing and scream a little (in a good way).
Wait… the original cast?
Yep, that’s right. Twenty-seven of the OG Broadway cast members will perform at the Tonys on June 8. That includes the big names we’ve all followed since the show exploded:
- Lin-Manuel Miranda (our founding father of musicals)
- Phillipa Soo (yes, Eliza!)
- Daveed Diggs (you know you tried rapping like Lafayette and Jefferson)
- Renée Elise Goldsberry (Angelica forever)
- Christopher Jackson (a.k.a. Washington with a voice like butter)
- Leslie Odom Jr. (Burr, sir—chills every time)
- Ariana DeBose (she’s gone on to win an Oscar!)
- Jonathan Groff (spit king and royal icon)
It’s honestly wild to see them all back together again. This cast helped change the face of Broadway. And they’re giving us one more time to be in the room with them.
What song are they doing? No one knows.
They haven’t announced the song yet, and you can bet fans are already making guesses online. Will it be “My Shot”? Maybe “The Schuyler Sisters”? Some folks think it might be “One Last Time” because… nostalgia. Or they might go big with “The Room Where It Happens.”
Whatever it is, it’s gonna be huge. Like, “you need to DVR this” huge. Honestly, I might cry either way. Just warning y’all.
Angelica’s got the mic again!
Renée Elise Goldsberry will also co-host the Tony Awards pre-show along with Darren Criss. That’s already a fun combo. Renée is so sharp and full of energy, and Darren’s got that charming, goofy vibe. It’s like Broadway and Glee had a party and we’re all invited.
Make sure you catch the pre-show too—it usually has cool interviews, behind-the-scenes peeks, and sometimes even better moments than the main show.
A musical that changed everything
Let’s take a quick breath and remember why Hamilton hit so hard when it dropped back in August 2015. Lin-Manuel Miranda didn’t just write the book—he wrote the music, lyrics, and starred as Hamilton himself. And the music? A full mix of hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and Broadway. Like, who even thought of putting that together?
It’s based on Ron Chernow’s book about Alexander Hamilton, one of America’s founding fathers, but it made history feel fresh and powerful. Not gonna lie, it made a lot of us want to go read more about the Revolutionary War… or at least rewatch the Disney+ version.
It was directed by Thomas Kail, choreographed by Andy Blankenbuehler, and had Alex Lacamoire behind the music—so yeah, it was built by a dream team.
Trophy shelf? Yeah, it’s full.
Hamilton didn’t just blow minds. It took home 11 Tony Awards, seven Olivier Awards in London, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and even a Grammy in 2016 for Best Musical Theatre Album.
Like, who else does that? People in Times Square were singing the songs. Teachers were bringing it into class. Even former presidents gave it a shout-out. It became a part of American culture almost overnight.
Why this matters right now
Seeing this cast come back in 2025, ten years after it all started, feels right. Broadway is bouncing back, people are craving big moments, and this reunion hits all the feels. Whether you saw the show live, watched the Disney+ special, or only know it from the TikToks, it touched something deep.
I remember watching it for the first time and getting goosebumps when Eliza sang “Burn.” Or cheering for Burr during “Wait For It.” Or laughing when King George stomped across the stage like he owned the place.
And now? We get to relive a little bit of that magic.
So yeah, mark your calendar. Set your alarms. Charge your phone for tweets and TikToks. Because on June 8, we’re going back to the room where it happened.
And I’m so ready.
