Tony Award-nominated, Grammy and Emmy Award-winning performer Christopher Jackson will make a highly anticipated return to Broadway this fall in his iconic Tony-nominated role as George Washington in Hamilton. The original Broadway cast member is set to reprise his unforgettable portrayal of America’s first president for a strictly limited engagement.

Jackson begins performances on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, and will play through Sunday, January 3, 2027, at Broadway’s Richard Rodgers Theatre (226 W 46th St, New York, NY 10036).

The announcement was made during Jackson’s live appearance on The Today Show.

Jackson’s return follows Hamilton’s extraordinary ten-year anniversary celebration on Broadway and continues a landmark period for the revolutionary musical, which 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. 

“Returning to Hamilton as George Washington is a deeply meaningful homecoming,” said Christopher Jackson. “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’s producer Jeffrey Seller. “How lucky are we that we get to experience his George Washington one last time?”

Jackson originated the role of George Washington in Hamilton’s Off-Broadway and Broadway productions, earning a Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Musical. He also received a Grammy Award as a principal soloist on the Original Broadway Cast Recording.

A Tony Award-nominated actor and Grammy and Emmy Award-winning songwriter and composer, Jackson is also a founding member of Freestyle Love Supreme. His Broadway credits include In the Heights, The Lion King, Memphis, After Midnight, Bronx Bombers, Holler If Ya Hear Me, and Hell’s Kitchen. On television, Jackson starred as Chunk Palmer on the CBS drama “Bull” and has appeared in “And Just Like That…,” “When They See Us,” “The Good Wife,” “Person of Interest,” “A Gifted Man,” “Nurse Jackie,” and more. His film credits include Hamilton on Disney+, In the Heights, Moana, Tracers, and Afterlife of the Party. As a songwriter and composer, Jackson won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Song for “What I Am,” written for “Sesame Street” with Bill Sherman.
