TWITTER WATCH: HAMILTON's Christopher Jackson Photographed In Costume Using 1839 Lens

Having played Simba in THE LION KING and Derek Jeter in BRONX BOMBERS, Christopher Jackson is an actor accustomed to portraying great leaders. After making his mark in Lin-Manuel Miranda's IN THE HEIGHTS and performing the work of Tupac Shakur in HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME, the fine actor was a natural choice to play General, and then President, George Washington in HAMILTON.

Now he's the latest subject in HAMILTON's series of vintage style photographs taken by Josh Lehrer using an 1839 lens.

Previous subjects for vintage HAMILTON portraits included Leslie Odom,Jr. as Aaron Burr (click here), Renee Elise Goldsberry as Angelica Schuyler (click here) Anthony Ramos as John Laurens (click here), Okieriete Onaodowan as James Madison (click here), Phillipa Soo as Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton (click here) and Javier Munoz as Alexander Hamilton (click here). (Munoz plays the role of Hamilton on Sunday matinees through March 27, 2016. He will play the role of Hamilton on Saturday matinees from March 28 - September 3, 2016.)

From the creative team behind the Tony Award-winning In The Heights comes a wildly inventive new musical about the scrappy young immigrant who forever changed America: AlexanderHamilton. Tony and Grammy Award winnerLin-Manuel Miranda wields his pen and takes the stage as the unlikely founding father determined to make his mark on a new nation as hungry and ambitious as he is.

From bastard orphan to Washington's right hand man, rebel to war hero, loving husband caught in the country's first sex scandal to Treasury head who made an untrusting world believe in the American economy, Hamilton is an exploration of a political mastermind. George Washington,Thomas Jefferson, Eliza Hamilton, and lifelongHamiltonfriend and foe,Aaron Burr, all attend this revolutionary tale of America's fiery past told through the sounds of the ever-changing nation we've become. Tony Award nominee Thomas Kail directs this new musical about taking your shot, speaking your mind, and turning the world upside down.
