‘Hamilton’ Cast Then & Now — Photos

‘Hamilton’ Cast Then & Now — Photos — There’s no denying that the cast of ‘Hamilton’ is one of the most talented groups of people to ever assemble on a Broadway stage. The musical, which won 11 Tony Awards, has gone on to create full-blown stars of its cast, and boost the profiles of some of its already famous performers.

Lin-Manuel Miranda went from 1776 to an Oscar-nominated original songwriter for ‘Moana.’ He seemingly appeared everywhere after the success of ‘Hamilton,’ and doesn’t appear to be slowing down any time soon — could we see a new EGOT in the future?

Daveed Diggs also got a boost from the show, earning wide acclaim for his 2018 film ‘Blindspotting,’ in which he starred with his friend, Rafael Casal, and unpacked gentrification in the Bay Area of California. Leslie Odom Jr. has made the leap to the big screen, appearing in such films as ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ and ‘Harriet’ opposite his fellow Tony winner, Cynthia Erivo.

So much of the cast has gone on to major success. See where they all are now by scrolling through this gallery!
