August 6, 2020 marks the 5 year anniversary of Hamilton opening on Broadway. To celebrate, we're looking at what the original cast members, ensemble members, swings, and standbys have been up to with their latest projects!

Lin-Manuel Miranda

Lin has been nonstop since August 6, 2015. From Moana to tick, tick... BOOM, he's been providing us with new music and theatre content consistently! He recently teased his latest project, an unnamed Disney animated musical set in Colombia.

Leslie Odom, Jr.

Aaron Burr, sir, has been busy too! Listen to a song off of his latest album, Mr., titled "Go Crazy."

Renée Elise Goldsberry

Give it up for the maid of honor, Angelica Schuyler! Let's give a toast to Renée for keeping us entertained in this amazing cover of "The Boy Is Mine" with Lauren Graham on this past season of Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist as Ava.

Phillipa Soo

We're feeling helpless hearing Phillipa's voice in the upcoming Disney film "The One and Only Ivan," out August 14 on Disney+. She stars as Thelma the parrot, alongside an all-star cast featuring Angelina Jolie, Danny DeVito, Sam Rockwell, Helen Mirren, and many more.

Jasmine Cephas Jones

And Peggy! Jasmine was recently on stage in New Group's Off-Broadway Cyrano, for which she won an inaugural Antonyo Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical Off-Broadway.

Daveed Diggs

You can catch Daveed in the TNT show Snowpiercer as Layton. Watch a scene from season 1, episode 4!

Anthony Ramos

We're willing to wait for it, but we can't wait to see Anthony as Usnavi in the In the Heights film adaptation coming out in 2021!

Okieriete Onaodowan

He needs no introduction... "Oak" has recently made the move to the TV screen in ABC's Station 19. But don't worry! He's still singing-- check out this clip from season 3, episode 5.

Christopher Jackson

Rise up! Christopher joins Hamilton alums Leslie Odom Jr., Daveed Diggs, Rory O'Malley, and Andrew Rannells on the Apple TV+ show Central Park. Check out his character's song "Do It While We Can," as he skates around Central Park as Glorious Gary.

Jonathan Groff

Silence, a message from the King! Jonathan was recently on stage in the Off-Broadway revival of Little Shop of Horrors as Seymour Krelborn. Listen to him sing "Suddenly Seymour" with Tammy Blanchard!

Javier Muñoz

The Alexander alternate himself, Javier, has been helping out during the pandemic with the Broadway Relief Project alongside the Broadway Green Alliance and Open Jar Studios. In the world of acting, he guest starred in Shadowhunters as Lorenzo!

Let's take a look at what the ensemble cast members, swings, and standbys are up to!

Ariana DeBose

Ephraim Sykes

Ephraim is set to star as Michael Jackson in the upcoming Broadway production of MJ: The Musical.

Sasha Hutchings

Sasha was recently in the revival of Oklahoma! as the understudy for Lead Dancer, Ado Annie, and Laurey Williams. You can catch her biweekly here on BroadwayWorld with Nik Walker on Chaos Twins!

Seth Stewart

You can catch Seth and many other original Hamilton cast members in the HAM4CHANGE virtual fundraisers.

America is waking up. This great nation is realizing we must dismantle the systems not serving every American and address the systemic racism responsible for taking innocent Black men and women from their families. It is time for real sustainable change and the only way to do it, is to march side by side with people of all colors and backgrounds. What made our show great wasn't us as individuals, but our collective, passionate voices as artists. We made history, and we did it together. As a cast we've formed a coalition dedicated to speaking out for the unheard voices. Join us to change the course of history. It starts today. It starts with you. We are #HAM4CHANGE. On August 1st, 9th and 15th we will be partnering with @loopedlive to raise money and get us to 1 million dollars donated to organizations like (name one of the 9). Hang with us, get all the backstage info, even schedule a 1-on-1 meet and greet. We've also teamed up with Michelle Obama's @whenweallvote to get out the importance of your vote. @hamiltonmusical #hamilton

Betsy Struxness

Betsy has been getting creative through an outlet different than acting-- photography!

Carleigh Bettiol

Carleigh's most recent Broadway bow was as an ensemble member and understudy for Babe in The Cher Show.

"Being a Goddess Warrior isn't NOT being scared. It is being shit scared and facing it anyway, and the strength to do that, to run your own show, well, that's gotta come from you." . "See what happens when you high kick fear in the butt?" . Those two lines (written by Rick Elice for our show and brilliantly said by @stephaniejblock ) resonated SO HARD with me on Wednesday, July 31. I was terrified to go on as Babe. I didn't want to do it. I considered leaving the show in order to get out of having to do it. That's how scared of it I was. But then I had to do it. And let me tell you, I AM SO HAPPY that I did. I am so grateful. Honored. I'm beyond proud of myself. I'm moved by the kindness, love, and support I received from the cast and crew. I conquered a great fear and not only surprised myself with how I tackled it, but had fun!!!! The journey with this show wouldn't have been complete for me without doing this. Thank you to everyone who believed/believes in me. I can't express enough how grateful I am. #broadway #principal #og #cher
