Meet the New Leads of the Revolution - HAMILTON's Brandon Victor Dixon, Lexi Lawson & Michael Luwoye!

As BroadwayWorld reported earlier this morning, HAMILTON will welcome two-time Tony Award nominee Brandon Victor Dixon as Aaron Burr, Lexi Lawson as Eliza Hamilton, and Michael Luwoye, who will perform as alternate to Javier Muñoz in the title role to the Broadway company this summer. In celebration of the big casting news, BroadwayWorld brings you a look back at some of the trio's top performances!

With book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical direction and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, HAMILTON is based on Ron Chernow's biography of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. The musical will celebrate its 1st anniversary at the Richard Rodgers Theatre (226 W. 46 St.) on August 6.

HAMILTON won eleven 2016 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Score, Book of a Musical, Direction of a Musical, Choreography and Orchestrations. Mr. Miranda received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for Hamilton.

HAMILTON is the story of America's Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington's right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and was the new nation's first Treasury Secretary. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B, and Broadway, HAMILTON is the story of America then, as told by America now.
