Lin-Manuel Miranda starring again in Hamilton to honor Oscar Lopez Rivera

Lin-Manuel Miranda will return to playing the title role in Hamilton after leaving the role last July. At the time, Miranda said it probably wouldn't be the last time he played the Founding Father, and he meant it. He'll return to playing the part in the Chicago production to celebrate the release of Puerto Rican independence activist Oscar Lopez Rivera by President Obama. It's likely to be a one-off performance or limited run and no dates have been announced.
