Buzzing: Miranda to reprise Hamilton in Puerto Rico

Miranda to reprise Hamilton in Puerto Rico

Hamilton has taken Broadway by storm and creator Lin-Manuel Miranda wants to take the hit musical to the hurricane-hit Caribbean island of Puerto Rico in 2019 as he rallies behind its reconstruction.

Miranda, a New Yorker of Puerto Rican heritage, wrote Hamilton and starred in the title role until July last year. He said he would return to take the role for a three-month run in January 2019 at Teatro UPR in San Juan. Last month, he wrote and arranged a song to raise money for relief efforts.
