13 Reasons Why You Need to Get into ‘Hamilton’s’ World

11. Shining Stars Light Up The Cast

Broadway successes aren’t achieved by great songs and dialogue alone, the delivery has a heck of a lot to do with it. Hamilton shines with an exceptional cast originally led by Miranda as “Alexander Hamilton.” Killer performances come from Leslie Odom Jr. of “Smash” fame who plays “Aaron Burr,” Hamilton’s killer, Jonathan Groff (“Spring Awakening”) and Christopher Jackson portraying King George III and George Washington respectively, Phillipa Soo playing Hamilton’s wife “Eliza Schuyler Hamilton,” Renée Elise Goldsberry as “Angelica Schuyler Church,” and “Thomas Jefferson” and the “Marquis de Lafayette,” played by Miranda’s fellow freestyle rap troupe member, Daveed Diggs.
