Christopher Jackson, an original cast member of Broadway‘s hit Hamilton, will reprise his portrayal of George Washington for a strictly limited engagement this fall.

Jackson, who originated the role in both the Off Broadway and Broadway productions of the musical, earning a Tony Award nomination for the latter, will return to the role on Tuesday, September 8, playing through Sunday, January 3, 2027, at Broadway’s Richard Rodgers Theatre.

“Returning to Hamilton as George Washington is a deeply meaningful homecoming,” said Jackson in a statement. “This show changed my life, and it remains one of the great honors of my career to be part of telling this story. To step back into this room, with this company and this audience, is something I will never take for granted.”

“Lin-Manuel wrote George Washington with Chris’s gorgeous voice and musicality in his head,” said Hamilton producer Jeffrey Seller. “How lucky are we that we get to experience his George Washington one last time?”

The announcement was made this morning during Jackson’s live appearance on The Today Show. Hamilton opened at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on August 6, 2015; original cast member Leslie Odom, Jr. returned to the show last fall, selling out his limited engagement.
